S3-EP11-Let’s Talk Health Scares & Self Worth with Dr. Omolara Thomas Uwemedimo

This week, Marissa sits down to talk with Dr. Omolora Thomas Uwemedimo of Melanin & Medicine. Dr. Omolora is not new to life shift, she’s true to it. She starts the conversation by sharing with Marissa everything she knows to be true about shifting and dives deeper into what she feels to be the most transformational shift to date (4:19). When Dr. Omolora found herself suddenly hospitalized and unable to walk, she had to quickly reevaluate everything she once thought about her self worth and her true meaning in the workplace (7:00). Dr. Omolora recalls a moment where she prayed to God for clarity on how to execute the vision she knows she’s called to do (12:49). She gets real about the difficulty of asking for help in the medical profession and talks about the moment she stepped out on faith and decided that it actually was okay to need help to reach your full potential (20:26). Often times, high achievers hold business as a badge of honor, but Marissa and Dr. Omolora relate to each other while discussing the importance of slowing down and valuing yourself (22:26).  Dr. Omolora then reflects on the time in her life where she felt the most free and dives deep into the importance of determining your own course in life in order to find the happiest version of yourself (34:19).
