Welcome to the Capacity Conversations Podcast. This is the safe space to talk openly and honestly about the challenges we face while managing the competing priorities between our personal and professional lives. Many of us are in corporate, entrepreneurs, or a combination of the two — while also being moms, wives, caregivers, big sisters, church leaders, or the go-to person in our families and friend groups. And without intentional alignment, all of that responsibility can quietly turn into over-functioning, burnout, resentment, and maxed-out capacity. In this episode, we’re talking about something many of us do without even realizing it: selective amnesia. Not the medical kind — the everyday kind where we overlook patterns, excuse behavior, or minimize what we’re feeling because telling ourselves the truth would require us to make a difficult decision. We see it in relationships. We see it in family dynamics. And we definitely see it at work. Sometimes, selective amnesia has us tolerating chaos, normalizing behavior that should’ve been addressed a long time ago, or convincing ourselves something “isn’t that bad” even when our mind, body, and spirit are telling us otherwise. In this episode, I walk through real-life examples of how selective amnesia shows up in everyday life — from family gatherings where the same behavior gets excused over and over again, to workplaces where we minimize toxic culture or misalignment because the paycheck or benefits feel too important to walk away from. I also share a personal story about experiencing migraines every Sunday night in a past role — and how I kept explaining it away instead of acknowledging what my body was trying to tell me. Because the truth is this: Even when we pretend something didn’t happen… our capacity remembers. We talk about how selective amnesia impacts each of the five capacity pillars — cash, health, heart, work, and faith — and how unresolved patterns slowly drain our energy, our peace, and our ability to show up fully in our lives. If you’ve ever found yourself saying things like: “Maybe I’m overthinking it.” “Maybe I’m being too sensitive.” “It’s just a stressful season.” “That’s just how they are.” This conversation is for you! Ways to Stop Practicing Selective Amnesia: Tell yourself the truth Look at patterns, not moments Stop explaining away your own experience Pay attention to resentment As a Capacity Coach and HR Leader, my philosophy is simple: healthy habits + healthy people = healthy businesses. When we manage our capacity well, we lead better, love better, and live better — without sacrificing ourselves in the process. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. We break cycles over here.

Welcome to the Capacity Conversations Podcast.

Many of us are in corporate, entrepreneurs, or a combination of the two — while also being moms, wives, caregivers, big sisters, church leaders, or the go-to person in our families and friend groups. And without intentional alignment, all of that responsibility can quietly turn into over-functioning, burnout, resentment, and maxed-out capacity. In this episode, we’re breaking the over-functioning cycle. I unpack the difference between high-functioning and over-functioning, how over-functioning often starts in childhood as survival, and how it follows us into adulthood — showing up at home, at work, in business, in friendships, and even in church. I share personal stories about stepping into responsibility at nine years old, over-functioning in my HR career to justify my seat at the table, and how grief exposed patterns I didn’t even realize I was carrying. We talk about how being praised for “stepping up” can become part of your identity — and how that identity can slowly cost you your peace, your energy, and your capacity. This episode will help you recognize where you may be carrying what isn’t yours — and give you practical, everyday ways to break the pattern. If you’re the strong one…The dependable one… The fixer… The one people rely on…   This conversation is for you! How to Break the Over-Functioning Cycle: Pause before you step in Let people experience the weight of their own choices (“Let Them”) Separate love from labor — personally and professionally Redefine what strong actually means Breaking the cycle doesn’t mean you stop being responsible. It means you stop carrying what isn’t yours. As a Capacity Coach and HR Leader, my philosophy is simple: healthy habits + healthy people = healthy businesses. When we manage our capacity well, we lead better, love better, and live better — without sacrificing ourselves in the process.

And without intentional alignment, all of that responsibility can lead to burnout, resentment, and maxed-out capacity. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to get back to what matters. I share personal stories about my marriage, my health scare, ignoring physical signs of stress, and how I now intentionally protect my health, my family, and my business in this season. I believe that building the life you say you want doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when you create aligned priorities and make intentional choices that support your well-being and leadership. If you’ve been feeling tired, resentful, comparing your journey, or unsure what to prioritize next, this episode will help you reconnect with what matters and take your next best step. 5 Ways to Figure Out What Matters in This Season: Pay attention to what drains you vs. what restores you Notice where you feel resentment Look at your calendar, not your intentions Listen to what you keep ignoring Decide what you need to protect right now You don’t have to change everything overnight. Just start with one aligned decision. As a Capacity Coach and HR Leader, my philosophy is simple: healthy habits + healthy people = healthy businesses. When we take care of ourselves from the inside out, we increase our ability to lead, love, and live well — without sacrificing ourselves, our families, or what matters most.

In this episode, I’m sharing why I’m not making resolutions this year — I’m making decisions. After a long pause from the mic, life gave me plenty of real-life lessons that required alignment, honesty, and capacity in real time. I walk you through six powerful decisions I made that are shaping how I move into 2026 with more peace, clarity, and support. Instead of setting goals based on fantasy capacity, I’m choosing grounded, aligned decisions that help me protect my energy, show up confidently, and stop carrying things that were never mine to hold alone. 6 Decisions I’m Carrying Into 2026 Stop Comparing My Season to Someone Else’s Timeline Release Conditional Confidence and Live Now Take the Next Step Instead of Waiting for Clarity Choose Stretch Over Comfort Surrender Control and Lean Into Faith Stop Carrying Everything Alone After you’ve listened, I invite you to connect with me on your favorite social media platform.

She is the visionary founder of ElevateHer, LLC, , which is dedicated to empowering organizations and leaders, especially mid to senior-level Black women in HR.

Nakisha’s influence is widely recognized as transformative within the HR landscape. We talk about what it looks and feels like to have a personal board of directors, and why it’s essential for your capacity. Kisha mentioned that your board is made up of people you pay, those who are your mentors, and of course your family friends. Here’s how she broke it down: The People You Pay: Doctors, therapists, coaches, financial planners, massage therapist, etc. These are the folks you invest into make sure you’re healthy in every since of the word, across every pillar of capacity. The People You Seek: Mentors and people who genuinely want to see you win in life, both personally and professionally. This includes your friends, family, God-given people you’ve prayed for, etc. Personal Board of Directors  The High 5 - think of these like the favorite 5, if you remember those from T-Mobile. These are the top five people in your circle that you communicate with, share dreams with, and you know you can call. The Core 4 - these are the people who are really-really in your corner. Not only do you share your hopes and dreams with them, but you trust them to tell you the truth, and check you, because you know its coming from a place of love. The Key 3 - these are the people you trust with your life, around your mate, kids, etc., and likely have keys to your home. These are the 3 people who have your back like nobody on the planet.

Having all that responsibility can leave you overwhelmed and depleted if you don’t take inventory of where you’re at on a regular basis. In this episode, I’m sharing what I know to be true about saying what we want and having the courage to do it… knowing better is NOT enough! You can know all day long, but if you keep knowing, and never do, you’ll keep going in circles. So how do you actually go from knowing better to doing better, you ask? I have 3 key ways to help you walk the talk: 3 Keys to go from Knowing to Doing Better Prioritize Your Priorities - this means making time to list out all the things you think you need to do, and then prioritize them. You have to remember that everything that's important isn't always essential... figure out what that is for you. Get Accountability Partners - this means finding like minded and like hearted people who will hold you accountable when you can't do it yourself. It also means getting vulnerable enough to seek and ask for help. You can find some right in my Flow and Flourish community on Facebook! Practice Self-Care - this is an inside job. Yes, get the mani/pedi and massage, but it also means being honest with yourself and pausing long enough to identify what you want/need in this season, and aligning your actions to your values and goals.
