KimUnity Soulutions Podcast

This week Kim the SME shares two very different experiences: a joyful networking event she walked into with high expectations and a frustrating drive through order where she expected disappointment before she even reached the counter. Both played out exactly as she anticipated.
Using the distinction between appetite (a desire we can shape) and hunger (a signal our body sends), Kim unpacks how the energy and expectation we carry into any room, whether it is a client meeting, a family dinner, or the start of a hard week, often shapes what we end up receiving.
She is honest that mindset is not a guarantee (the restaurant still owed her better service), but she challenges listeners to notice how often their own bracing for the worst becomes the very thing they experience.
The biggest takeaway: your appetite is a decision, not an accident, and you can reset it before you walk through any door.

This week Kim the SME opens up about a moment that stopped her in her tracks, a simple question that triggered someone she cares about. Instead of reacting, she got curious, and that choice became the heart of this episode.
Kim walks through the real reasons people go out of line or out of character, medication changes, unspoken burdens, timing, protecting someone else's joy, and makes the case that our job in those moments isn't to judge, it's to extend grace.
Using her grandmother in law's story and her own daughter's college acceptance as examples, Kim shows how the most loving thing we can do for someone acting out of character is give them room to cool off without disappearing on them.

Welcome back to the KimUnity Soulutions Podcast, where we inspire leadership and humanity within and beyond the workplace.
This throwback episode, "Laid On," is one that keeps resurfacing because the problem it names never really goes away. Kim the SME unpacks what happens to the employees who survive a layoff, the ones left behind carrying the workload, the uncertainty, and the weight of watching colleagues walk out the door. Their responsibilities grow, their stress climbs, and their trust in leadership often quietly erodes, even when no one names it out loud.
If you have ever been on a team after a round of layoffs, you already know this feeling has a name now: being Laid On.

In this episode of the KimUnity Soulutions Podcast, Kim the SME reflects on a lesson sparked by her children’s car accident: the importance of leaving space, on the road and in life.
She unpacks how carrying old frustrations, old jobs, and old relationships into new ones creates patterns we do not even realize we are building, and she opens up about her own experience of walking into a new position still weighed down by the last one.
Kim explores the delicate balance between responding too quickly and letting an issue sit so long it resurfaces with more weight than before, and she invites listeners to think about what communication looks like beyond words, through tone, body language, and the space we give each other after a hard moment.

In this episode, Kim the SME shares a raw, real time account of getting scammed out of over $875 while trying to do the responsible thing, notifying her insurance company after her children were in a minor car accident. She walks through every red flag she noticed and ignored, the fake authorization codes, the surprise discount offer, and the moment she realized the number her daughter dialed was never actually connected to their insurance company at all.
Kim connects the experience directly to her core message on communication, showing how intuition is a form of communication we often talk ourselves out of trusting. Listeners walk away with a clear challenge, to slow down, verify their connections, and treat that gut feeling as valuable information rather than an inconvenience.

In this episode, Kim the SME reflects on a leadership event, A League of Your Own, hosted by Black Women's Wall Street and Women of Influence, and the message that stayed with her afterward, permission. Kim opens up about her own tendency to be too considerate and unpacks the cost of waiting can show up as delayed growth, delayed income, and a quiet resentment that builds when we blame someone else for a choice, we made ourselves.
She reframes the wait using the picture of freeze tag, frozen until someone else taps you, and offers a different way forward.
If you already have the vision and the resources are already lining up around you, that is provision, and you do not need anyone's permission.
Learn how to reclaim your power, ignore the "norm," and stop the cost of delayed growth.

Chasing a meaningful dream does not always look polished. Sometimes it looks like late nights, missed events, hard choices, deep learning, and being misunderstood by people who cannot see the full vision.
In this episode, Kim the SME reflects on the difference between purposeful sacrifice and harmful exhaustion, why we must become more selective about the advice we receive, and how we can protect our health without abandoning what we feel called to build. She also explores how leaders can honor the unseen labor behind organizational success instead of expecting employees to carry the cost alone.

In this episode, Kim the SME reflects on the gifts we carry, the gifts we overlook, and the gifts that can become harmful when they are misused.
She tells the truth that a gift is neutral...it depends on the hands holding it. From family titles to workplace authority, from charm to confidence, from communication to boundaries, this conversation invites us to ask whether what we carry is opening doors for people or closing them.

This week, Kim the SME gets honest about a mindset shift she almost didn't want to admit she needed.
Sometimes the mindset shift we need is hiding behind the thing we keep resisting. In this episode, Kim the SME reflects on the difference between chasing the algorithm and honoring our rhythm. She talks about visibility, authenticity, impact, and the quiet ways we may be holding back the very message someone else needs.
This is a gentle but honest reality check for all of us who want to lead, serve, create, and build community with purpose.
This one's for anyone who has ever held back from sharing their voice, their work, or their story because it felt like performing instead of connecting...at work, at home, or anywhere in between.
