We recently had the chance to connect with Dajae Post and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Dajae, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
I was recently promoted into a leadership position at my job ! I am now a Clinic Manager.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hey Everyone ! My name is Dae. I am a Registered Nurse, an Artist and a self proclaimed chef lol. I do a little bit of everything from singing to cooking to saving lives. I’m truly just an overall creative that’s passionate about expression in every form.
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 breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
This is a really good question and one that I have slowly been learning the answer to. I’ve found that miscommunication, mistrust and inconsideration can be detrimental to any bond. Once someone in a connection begins to feel that they are not being heard, understood or considered it can cause a break in the bond. I do believe alot of things can be fixed with a genuine heartfelt conversation where both parties take accountability and show true remorse and care for the relationship. But oftentimes our pride can get in the way of even getting to the point of having these type of open discussions. When pride takes over that bond can potentially never be restored its up to each party in the bond to show enough care and willingness to maintain the connection. Ultimately whether a bond can be mended or released just depends on what caused the original issue and if both parties is willing to put aside the differences. Although every bond that breaks doesn’t always need to be restored. You have to use discernment on what relationships are meant to be held on to and which ones are meant to be let go of.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
Growing up I used to be really shy and have low self esteem. I didn’t like how I looked, my skin (I had acne and other skin issues) , my chubby face, short hair. I used to get bullied and that kind of reinforced my negative self thoughts. I didn’t really like myself and I would always try to hide in the background or walk with my head down. I didn’t like talking in public. My mom used to tell me stop shrinking myself ! She would always remind me that I was beautiful and a great human even when I didn’t feel like I was. I spent the first half of my life not liking me . Eventually in my teens I began embracing my self and learning to not only love what I seen but loved who I was on the inside too. I remember one day I was just not having a good day and was feeling down about myself and my mom had me memorize this poem. It was called our deepest fear by Mirianne Williamson the poem was an ode to honoring the greatness in oneself and remembering God called us all for great things and he made no mistake in making us who we are. That poem has stuck with me ever since then and I think back to it when I’m feeling down. It reminds me where I started and how far I’ve come on my self love journey.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
One of my life missions is to be able to provide access to healthcare for everyone. I believe everyone should have access to care no matter their insurance status. I hope to be able to to own my own clinics that are little to no cost to those in need.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Absolutely. I do it everyday. I don’t do anything for praise or recognition. Everything I do for others comes from a genuine place with no intent of personal gain or praise. I try to live my life by the 4 agreements and those are: Always do your best, Don’t take anything personal, Don’t make assumptions, and Be impeccable with your words.
