About the Wise Black Nanas Podcast
Sharing intensely personal and professional stories from life experiences, these every day mature Black Women give it to you straight, with compassion, sometimes with candor, always with caring and gentleness, just like your Nana. Wise Black Nanas uses their unique place in life to encourage, open and start conversations about difficult topics and life events.
Helping to find direction and solutions with coaching support that is built on a foundation of lived experience, professional education and expertise, and two lifetimes of managing and mothering using everyday language and situations that we all encounter, get stuck in, and often stay stuck in.
Part coaching, part HR, part suggestions, you are encouraged to learn from their shared perspectives, acquired wisdom, cross-generational insight, and their take on life’s very tough topics while they provide thoughtful, caring and sometimes humorous lessons.
Sharing intensely personal and professional stories from life experiences, these every day mature Black Women give it to you straight, with compassion, sometimes with candor, always with caring and gentleness, just like your Nana. Wise Black Nanas uses their unique place in life to encourage, open and start conversations about difficult topics and life events.
In this episode, the Wise Black Nanas dive into the idea that risk isn’t just about big, dramatic life decisions, it’s woven into our everyday choices, relationships, and growth. Whether we realize it or not, we’re constantly navigating uncertainty, weighing outcomes, and deciding what feels worth it.
As life coaches, Joanne and Dr. Sharla bring their lived experience, insight, and no-nonsense wisdom to the conversation. They explore how different people approach risk, what holds us back, and how we can move forward with more clarity and confidence.
Along the way, Dr. Sharla shares a simple, practical concept she uses with clients to help make risk-taking feel more manageable and grounded. As well, she reveals some huge personal risks she took…find out if they were worth it!
If you’ve ever found yourself hesitating, overthinking, or wondering whether to take that next step, this episode offers both perspective and encouragement to help you move forward.
