#050: Real Talk with Erika Hazel Jordan - The Bizerkeley Vegan, Social Media Influencer, Food Blogger, Event Manager & Speaker
\u201cThat\u2019s the scary part \u2013 because it doesn\u2019t feel like work, it\u2019s hard to slow down, take breaks and rest; because I\u2019m having so much fun, I don\u2019t realize when I\u2019m running on E.\u201d - Erika Hazel Jordan
\nThis Real Talk features insight into various aspects of the entrepreneur\u2019s journey: the balance between effortless action and self-care when it comes to doing what you love, the importance of knowing your giving limits, and framing the way you think about delegation.
\nI was joined by the ever so charismatic and wise Erika Hazel Jordan - the Founder and face behind The Bizerkeley Vegan, Social Media Influencer, Food Blogger, Event Manager and Speaker.
\nErika\u2019s entrepreneurship and event management journey started when she was 8 years old, with her organizing a clothing and food drive for local children and families who were housing-challenged. She\u2019s always had a heart for philanthropy, which continues to manifest in tangible service to her community to this day.
\nIn our chat, Erika got vulnerable about how doing all the things, all the time, all by herself eventually led to physical burnout. It ultimately turned out to be a blessing as it allowed her to reset, reassess and reorganize her life, goals and perspective.
\n\u201cBeing a giver has its limits,\u201d she notes, when discussing how trying to pour into others when you\u2019re an empty cup is self-defeating. She had profound insight on how go-getters need to be aware of their boundaries and not run themselves into the dirt, despite how much of an emphasis society places on being the selfless martyr.
\nGet ready for a feel-good conversation that will leave you encouraged and more open to asking for support when you need it!
\nWith so much love & gratitude,
\nGrace \U0001f48b
