We recently connected with Lakeisha Brown and have shared our conversation below.
Lakeisha , we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
Living in a single-parent home with my mother, sisters and brother taught me a lot about life and the different encounters that I would face on the road ahead. Life shows me encounters such as the birth of a child, the death of family/friends, career challenges, and relationship failures.
However, it introduced me to the chapters that would come into my life to bring forth meaning and purpose to help me navigate the journey I’m currently on. Like so many others, I have a story that helped me develop on my journey of becoming complete.
Reflecting back over the years in my life, I went through different experiences that helped me develop and grow. The experience that really took a toll on me was having to deal with severe depression due to the loss of a dear friend. I was placed in positions that only God could have seen me through in order to gain that completeness within.
Going through a period of severe depression and not being focus cause me to work on myself. I experience a lack of motivation, hair loss, weight loss, the ability to concentrate, a feeling of hopelessness, career challenges, unfairness, broken relationships/friendships, and staying stuck in a place of loneliness to move forward in life.
Once I begin to develop a relationship with God and journal on a regular basis, I begin to see what it meant to remove everything in life so that I could clearly hear the voice of God and walk on a pathway without distraction on the journey ahead to gain meaning to the lessons that would come with finding completeness.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I’m a mother, registered nurse, author, speaker, well-being ambassador, personal support trainer, certified case manager, and motivator who inspires others to become the best you after going through broken life experiences. I’m proud that I have been afforded the gift of helping others and being a role model for my child so that I can leave a legacy for her to walk into.
Through out my journey in life I’ve be blessed to work in the healthcare field, bring forth a book and journal to help others regain focus and move forward in life to become complete. It was thorough self-assessment, self-reflection, and looking at different perspectives that I begin to understand my purpose and operate in it. These are a huge blessings for me in life which I’m truly proud of.
My fist book “Chapters of Completeness” came out o August 13,2019. Just receiving the feedback from others and watching how the book impact others let me know that I was on the right pathway of helping others on their journey of becoming complete. It showed me through the troubling times of the Covid pandemic that this was the blessings that was needed.
From there it pushed me further into writing a journal call “Completeness the Journal” on January 10, 2023. Completeness the Journal allowed me to have that conversation with others and open up about my struggles while helping other with theirs.
I am currently in the process of looking into doing life coaching. Within my field as a healthcare worker, I continue to help others as a peer support trainer and became one of the wellbeing ambassadors for my organization. Speaking with others and having the ability to speak in front of others has allowed me to pour into others and give them the tools they need to help them succeed on their journey in life.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Three qualities that was very helpful for me on my journey was when I understood what it meant to self-assess, self-reflect, and how to evaluate life by understanding different perspectives. Going through a period of severe depression and not being focus cause me to work on myself. Developing a relationship with God and journaling on a regular basis became an everyday practice and allowed me to stay focus so that I could pour into others. I learn that we become more impactful on the journey ahead in life when our view is clear followed by direction.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
Collaboration with others is an important part of how we help others develop and grow in life. For me I’m looking for those individuals who understand the concept of being a blessing to others and helping them become the best person that they can be in the end. It is the individuals that have endured experiences in life and used those hard lessons to become a teaching moment to get things right to help others on their journey ahead. I would like to collaborate and connect with those individuals that understand their purpose and bring forth positive change. For those interested in connecting with my the can email or follow me on my social media platforms.
