Today we’d like to introduce you to Kisha Smiley
Hi Kisha, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
While working at a counseling agency for the underserved population, I realized how difficult it is to identify mental health concerns in our community due to stigmas and stereotypes. I wanted to reach people beyond my office to provide content that is educational and inspiring; with the focus on resiliency, strength, wellness and healing. I started creating journals and workbooks for people to use at their own discretion if they weren’t quite ready for therapy. I am currently a licensed Social Worker and Mental Health Therapist. I have been counseling patients for over 10 years.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The path to entrepreneurship has had its’ ups and downs. Some moments can be discouraging when things don’t seem to work out the way you hoped. Navigating the aspect of rebranding, marketing and trying to create a social media presence has been my most difficult learning curve. I have to remind myself that everyone isn’t my ideal client or target audience. Going weeks without a sell can make you question yourself, but what’s a goal without adversity.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Recommit To Yourself is a therapeutic platform that promotes a positive mindset through faith, mindfulness, and forward healing. It offers content centered around resilience, wellness, and the transformative power of journaling. Through this work, I inspire readers to persevere and recommit to themselves, their goals, and their purpose.
Many people struggle with prioritizing their needs and wants due to hectic schedules and life’s demands. I am here to promote the practice of saying yes to yourself, learning new things, and shifting your perspective. Prioritize your well-being, find balance and emotional wellness by prioritizing yourself.
I’ve created 6 journals/workbooks with topics ranging from recognizing spiritual strongholds, root causes of personal fears, self-sabotaging behaviors, irrational thoughts, and recommitting to yourself. I also discuss how to change one’s perspective regarding pain and healing. I’ve created a wellness journal that’s helps one to be mindful of their finances, eating habits, physical activity— with reflective questions and journal prompts. I also have a prayer journal for those wanting to deepen their spiritual walk.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
To trust yourself and the work you are putting out. Confidence or the lack thereof is noticeable to outsiders and prospective clients. When you begin to doubt yourself, it can be hard to shake— and even surprising is how fast it can grow. Have confidence in your education, skills, experience, and creative insight.
