Episode 206: The SECRET to Choosing Yourself with Eni Popoola

[@yolandaingram7378]

Young people who are thinking about law school should watch this. Law practice at big law is a REAL GRIND! Prepare yourself for it.

I truly hate working my job, it does not excite me. What does excite me is photography and being a creative. This podcast validates what I have been thinking for so long!

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

Can relate to that so much! Hoping your next chapter is more fulfilling

[@LyndaOkoli]

I truly did not want this episode to end! I've always found Eni so inspiring and disciplined, loved learning even more about her. This is my first time listening to this podcast, followed/subscribed instantly on all platforms.

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

Isn’t she wonderful? So glad you enjoyed the episode, thanks for following along 🤎

Loving this episode! I love that Eni said "sticking it out wasn't enough" in a job where you are not 100% fulfilled. It is so important to take our "temperature" or do a self-check-in to maintain our well-being. Thanks Les and Eni!

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

[@EriannaJiles1]

Oof! I never really thought about the flip side to being an influencer. I'm so happy Eni chose herself instead of letting the corporate machines steal her joy!

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

Yessss! Goals 🙌🏾

[@TheWellnessAbbey]

Law firms and many other work places need to adapt to accommodate the fact that many of their younger employees are multi-passionate and will seek fulfillment & finanical reward through external ventures such as being a content creator. They're really archaic in their thinking and for what? The benefits to them and their perceived clients of imposing these meaningless archaic rules are insubstantial when they really think about it 🙉

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

Couldn't agree more!

[@mkpetros]

Great episode - especially loved hearing how she set boundaries with social media! 💎

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

Thanks for tuning in!

I will say for a bit of advice don’t leave a job unless u got $ saved up to survive. Don’t let social media stop u from getting your bag. Nobody really talks about they had to save up $ before they quit a job.

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

100% -- no one should quit a job without other income coming in

[@CarasPlace]

I enjoyed this interview! 💛 I love that you both enforce boundaries online. I agree!

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

@@CarasPlace so glad you enjoyed it!

Go head girl! Love to see the queens winning!

[@MarissaTonge]

So many good gems in this episode. Loving the conversations normalizing solo travel and dates. I’m currently heading to Bali for a solo trip ❤

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

Hope you have an amazing time!

[@MadisonPettway_]

Love Eni’s tiktok! Glad I stumbled across this

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

Yessss! She’s one of my faves on the clock app 👏🏾

[@samanthanyongani4549]

Alot is lost when you try connect with a person who thinks they know everything about u already. It is impossible to be authentic. It's hard to grow real affection. And bias can be created.

[@kharissalove]

Really loved this episode! And really love the questions you asked, Les! The conversations flowed so well and I love the way you were able to carry the importance of content creation/personal life balance throughout the whole episode. And the black on black with gold jewelry you and Eni brought was seriously a vibe! Been loving the video aesthetic for the podcast 💚

[@BalancedBlackGirl]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the episode and are liking the videos 🤎
