E41: Staci Jordan Shelton + Jahmicah Dawes of Slim Pickins Outfitters
February Theme: Self-Care is Community Care
February is generally overrun with Valentine's day and all of the societal conditioning that comes with a Hallmark holiday. It's a great time to show others you care, but how often do we show ourselves that same love that we so freely give to others? This month, let's talk about how self-care isn't selfish. Let's talk about how when we show up consistently for ourselves, we can show up more powerfully for the people in our community.

Staci Jordan Shelton
What lies are holding you hostage?
This is what Staci asked me back in 2016, and I've never been the same since. Staci helped me unravel the lies I had been telling myself and the life I had been living for other people. She helped me find the confidence to know I could create a life worth living. She released me from the prison of proving that I'm good, and helped me embody it instead. Today, we reunite and celebrate the changes made, the lies released, and the liberation found.
Staci is love and truth in action. She sees you. She wants what is best for you. She isn't here for the stories that keep you small. She's here to help you move from "f*ck this sh*t" to freedom. We are taking a deep dive into her transformative presence and work. Your life will be forever changed.
Staci Jordan Shelton is a performance consultant and coach who helps women leaders move from F*ck this sh*t to freedom, and get free from the beliefs, binaries and behaviors that keep women stuck, playing small and sabotaging themselves.
"GETTING FREE IS A PROCESS, STAYING FREE IS A PRACTICE."

Jahmicah Dawes
Jahmicah Dawes is the founder of Slim Pickins Outfitters - the nation's first Black-owned outdoor gear store - and says his passion for outdoor adventures was inspired by the people who looked out for him in college at Tarleton State University. He would often get invited to explore the outdoors but didn’t have the necessary equipment. - Travel Noire
I first learned about Jahmicah and Slim Pickins Outfitters when someone shared a link to their GoFundMe, and I was pleased to see the outdoor industry show up.
We talk about the opportunity at hand for the outdoor industry and allies to keep showing up, how to support the BIPOC community (meet folks where they're at), and we discuss the relationship between trauma and diabetes.
