Story & Lesson Highlights with Sequia Nicole

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Sequia Nicole. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Sequia , 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: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
A typical morning for me starts with getting my son ready and taking him to school — that’s our special time together. Afterward, I head to the gym to move my body and clear my mind. Once I’m back, I take a few quiet moments for prayer and meditation, followed by recording a voice note to set my intentions for the day. It’s my way of aligning my energy before stepping into the world — grounded, focused, and intentional.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
A lot has changed since the last time we spoke. I’ve transitioned from being a full-time stylist to stepping fully into my role as a beauty expert and thought leader. Today, my mission goes beyond external beauty — I’m building a brand for the evolving woman. Through my upcoming podcast and creative projects, I’m helping women slow down, move from hustle to flow, and embrace the “soft life.”
This new chapter is especially meaningful to me because it’s rooted in inspiring and guiding women — and young girls — into womanhood through alignment, self-awareness, and self-mastery. I believe beauty begins within, and my brand reflects that evolution.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
Survival mode. For so long, I operated from a place of doing more to prove my worth or to earn success. I’ve learned that true abundance comes from alignment, not overexertion. You don’t have to grind yourself into exhaustion to receive what’s meant for you. These days, I focus on regulating my nervous system, creating from peace, and allowing flow and abundance to meet me where I am.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell her, “Know who you are and never doubt the power you possess to create your reality.” Everything you dream of is already inside you — you just have to trust your divine timing and believe you’re worthy of it.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
That success in beauty only comes through constant hustle and grind. While that mindset might be necessary in the beginning, the true goal is to build a business that runs on systems, structure, and flow — not exhaustion. The real flex is peace. Building a sustainable brand means creating processes that allow you to thrive in your feminine energy, not just survive in masculine hustle.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
That I was a woman of power and truth — someone who lived her purpose unapologetically and helped others do the same. I want people to remember me as a beacon of light for women in their transformation, a reminder that your past doesn’t define you, and that you have the power to rewrite your story. The rules are fake — be authentic, be bold, and do you.
