We’re looking forward to introducing you to Nyeesha Williams. Check out our conversation below.
Nyeesha , so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
Honestly, it varies depending on the season I’m in, but right now, I’m really intentional about slow wake-ups. If I don’t have to go outside for a walk or jog, I let the sun wake me up. The moment my eyes open, I’m in prayer — just centering myself before the day starts. Then I’ll usually read for a bit to set the tone of my day. One of my favorite books this season is Anonymous — it’s been a grounding reminder of purpose and preparation.
After that, I’m up and moving — showered, dressed, and transitioning into mom mode. I homeschool, so breakfast is going while I’m reviewing curriculum, making sure everything is ready before my kids get up. By the time they’re awake, the day is already in motion, but I’ve already had time to pour into myself first.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Sure — I’m Nyeesha D. Williams, Founder and CEO of The Serenity Haus, which is a wellness-first artist development and management firm. We work at the intersection of mental performance, creative excellence, and longevity for artists, athletes, and leaders.
What makes The Haus unique is that we’re not just managing careers — we’re building systems and sanctuaries for creative people to thrive. My background is in clinical and performance work, so I’ve seen firsthand how the industry can break people down if they don’t have structure or care.
Being married to a Grammy-nominated artist, I’ve lived the touring lifestyle from the inside — as a wife, mother, and executive — and that perspective is what inspired our Tour Wellness & Care™ system, which supports artists and their teams on the road.
Right now, I’m in a season of expanding The Haus globally — building partnerships with major festivals, creating mental-performance frameworks, and leading conversations about how wellness can coexist with ambition. For me, success isn’t just about fame or reach — it’s about sustainability and legacy.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
I’d say the part of me that I’ve released is the performative version of myself — the part that felt the need to constantly prove, persuade, or package everything for validation.
For a long time, especially in this digital age, I thought every piece of content had to come with a call-to-action — to sell, to inspire, to teach — but lately, I’ve been unlearning that. I’m allowing myself to just give and serve without needing a metric to justify it.
I’ve also released the need to lead with my accolades before leading with my heart. I know now that my anointing — not my résumé — is what opens doors. If I’m in the room, I’m supposed to be there. And that awareness has brought me a different kind of peace and confidence that no title or number ever could.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There have been many moments I wanted to give up — I can’t name a season where that feeling didn’t visit me. But this one is different. This time, I’ve laid down everything that no longer belonged to me — every expectation, every role, every weight that wasn’t mine to carry.
What I hold now isn’t heavy. It’s sacred. Its purpose. And when you’re finally walking in what’s truly yours, you stop wanting to give it up — because it’s not draining you anymore. It’s feeding you.
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. Whose ideas do you rely on most that aren’t your own?
God’s.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
You know, that’s such a hard question — because this past year already forced me to live like time was running out. There were moments I genuinely didn’t know if I had another day, let alone ten years.
And because of that, I’ve learned to move differently. I’ve learned to be intentional about grace, about gratitude, about alignment. So if I had ten years left, what I’d stop doing immediately is questioning. Questioning my timing, questioning my worth, questioning if I’m doing enough.
I’ve reached a place where I trust that what’s for me can’t miss me. So I’d stop doubting, and just keep showing up — fully present, fully alive, fully surrendered.
