Meet LaKisha Mosley

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful LaKisha Mosley. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with LaKisha below.

Hi LaKisha, so great to have you on the platform. There’s so much we want to ask you, but let’s start with the topic of self-care. Do you do anything for self-care and if so, do you think it’s had a meaningful impact on your effectiveness?

Self-care for me isn’t bubble baths and spa days—though don’t get me wrong, I love a good facial. But true self-care in my world looks like boundaries, rest without guilt, and being honest about how I’m really doing. I check in with myself like I check email—daily, non-negotiable. Sometimes it’s journaling, sometimes it’s unplugging and doing absolutely nothing productive, and sometimes it’s therapy or saying “no” when people expect a “yes.”

The impact? Game-changer. I show up sharper, more grounded, and far less resentful. When I prioritize me, I lead better, create better, and serve from a place of overflow—not depletion. Self-care has made me more effective not just in business, but in life. It’s not a luxury—it’s strategy.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I’m a mental health advocate, event curator, and the founder of Mind Your Business, a mental wellness collective for women entrepreneurs. My work centers on helping women, especially Black women in business, prioritize their mental health without feeling like they have to choose between their success and their sanity.

What’s most special to me about the work I do is that it’s deeply personal and deeply necessary. I’ve lived the experience of building while battling high-functioning depression. I know what it means to smile on Zoom while struggling in silence. That’s why I create spaces, through events, digital products, and community experiences, where women feel safe, seen, and supported.

Currently, I’m leading our MENtal Check fireside chat series for Men’s Mental Health Month, which is an honest conversation about mental health among Black men. We’re also preparing for upcoming events that continue to bridge the gap between entrepreneurship and emotional wellness, including our signature My Mind is My Business conference.

Whether it’s a virtual gathering, a wellness product, or a powerful conversation, everything I do is about making sure entrepreneurs have the tools and support they need to build sustainable success—and feel good doing it.

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 things got me through and still ground me today: resilience, emotional intelligence, and the ability to build community.

Resilience isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about learning how to rest without quitting. There were moments I wanted to walk away from everything. But instead of pushing through pain, I learned to pause, regroup, and then move forward with intention. My advice? Don’t glorify grind culture. Build a relationship with rest and recovery—you’ll need it more than motivation.

Emotional intelligence has helped me lead, collaborate, and communicate with empathy—especially in the mental health space. Knowing how to manage my emotions and understand others has been just as important as any strategy. If you’re early in your journey, I’d say: get curious about your triggers, learn how to name your feelings, and build the muscle to respond instead of react.

And finally, community. I wouldn’t be where I am without the people who saw me, supported me, and held me accountable. Isolation is the enemy of impact. So if you’re just getting started, build your circle early—not just for networking, but for real support and connection.

Success is rarely about talent alone. It’s about who you are when things don’t go as planned—and how well you take care of yourself through the process.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

Absolutely! I’m always open to meaningful collaborations, but alignment is key. I’m looking to partner with folks and brands who truly value mental wellness, community care, and inclusive entrepreneurship, not just as a buzzword, but as part of their mission and actions.

Whether you’re a wellness practitioner, speaker, mental health professional, corporate leader, or a brand that wants to support women (or men) in prioritizing their mental health while building their dreams, I want to hear from you. I’m especially excited about collaborations that bridge the gap between mental wellness and business or amplify underrepresented voices in this space.

If what I shared resonates with you and you feel like we could create something powerful together, let’s connect.

Let’s build something that heals and uplifts—not just for show, but for real impact.
