We recently had the chance to connect with LaKisha Mosley and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning LaKisha, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
What I am most proud of building, that people do not always see, is the foundation of discipline and self work that makes everything else possible. The inner habits, the boundaries, and the quiet routines that protect my peace do not get photographed or posted online, but they are what allow me to show up in powerful ways.
I am proud of the moments when I said no to things that did not align, even when it would have been easier to say yes. I am proud of the journaling, the therapy sessions, and the days I chose rest over hustle. Those unseen choices are the reason I can create impactful events and show up for my community.
I am also proud of the ways I invest in people behind the scenes. Encouraging another woman, making space for collaboration, or helping someone else believe in themselves will never make a headline, but those are the victories that matter most to me.
The visible wins are built on invisible work. That is the part no one sees, and it is what I am most proud of.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am LaKisha Mosley, an entrepreneur, event curator, and mental health advocate. Through my personal brand and my company, The LM Experience, I create spaces and resources that help women entrepreneurs honor their mental health while building sustainable success.
What makes my work unique is the way I bring wellness and entrepreneurship together. I believe women should not have to choose between peace and profit, so I design events and tools that give them both.
My flagship event, My Mind Is My Business Mental Health Conference, returns in May 2026 with a focus on business growth, leadership, and mental wellness. Alongside that, I am developing digital resources like the Soft Girl CEO Reset Checklist and a mental health planner for entrepreneurs. These are practical, empowering tools designed to help women align their goals with their well-being.
At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to disrupting the old story that burnout is the price of success. My mission is to show women that they can lead with authenticity, protect their peace, and still build businesses that thrive.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
A moment that really shaped how I see the world was realizing that mental health is not something to push aside in order to achieve success, but the very foundation of it. Living with high-functioning depression forced me to confront that truth in a real way. There was a time when I tried to power through everything, always showing up strong and polished, even when I was struggling. What I learned is that pretending to be okay does not create real success. It creates burnout.
That shift in perspective changed everything for me. It made me see that success without wellness is not sustainable, and that vulnerability is not weakness but strength. It is what pushed me to build spaces and experiences where women, especially women of color, can feel both seen and supported in their personal and professional lives.
That moment shaped the lens through which I now see leadership, business, and community. It is why I do the work I do today.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There was a point in my life when I reached such a low place that I no longer wanted to live. Moving through that season changed me completely. With the help of therapy, journaling, and a few people who showed up when I needed them most, I found my way back. That experience is what reshaped my purpose. It made me see that mental health is not a side note, it is the foundation, and it is why I create spaces where women can feel supported in both business and life.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
The belief I am most committed to, no matter how long it takes, is that women can build businesses without sacrificing their mental health. I know firsthand how easy it is to get trapped in the cycle of hustling until you burn out, and I refuse to accept that as the standard of success. Every event I curate, every resource I create, and every community I nurture is built around this belief.
The project I am committed to is building an ecosystem of spaces, tools, and experiences that help women honor both their ambition and their wellness. It may take years to see the full vision realized, but I am in it for the long haul because I know the impact it can have.
At the core, I want to prove that success can feel good. That is not just a tagline for me; it is the work of my life.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace in small, intentional moments that let me slow down and reconnect with myself. That looks like early morning journaling with coffee, a quiet walk outdoors, or being in a room with a few women where honesty and softness are allowed to coexist with ambition. Peace shows up when my schedule actually reflects my priorities, when I can say no without guilt, and when I choose rest over proving something. Those moments refill me so I can lead from a place of presence instead of running on empty.
