Don't Wait to Retire to Rest with Stephanie Perry-Part 1
Feb 12, 2024 Season 6 Episode 5
Angella Fraser & Leslie Osei-Tutu

“Waiting until retirement age to start living is a scam!” Well, that is guest  Stephanie Perry’s stance on why she has made it her goal to get Black women to “take career breaks, bop around the world, or move abroad all while embracing ease”

The Besties have mentioned her several times as a model of free-living, unapologetically choosing ease, and a window into the world of what she refers to as the “adult gap year”. 

Stephanie’s transformation started when she gave herself free time, through travel, to find the part of herself that she might not have allowed to surface otherwise. Your value, she says, is in who you are, not in what you do. Especially for Black women who carry the weight of the stress of so many societal “isms”

The Besties couldn’t get enough of Stephanie Perry, creator of the popular YouTube channel, a full time house-sitter, creator of House Sitter School, co-creator with Roshida Dowe  of ExodUS Summit and just all around cool sister-friend.  So make sure you tune in next week for Part 2 of one of their most riveting conversations thus far.
