Exploring Life & Business with Philicia Wallace of Slaying Self Doubt

Today we’d like to introduce you to Philicia Wallace.

Philicia, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
2017 was my transformational year; I was dealing with some personal trials, health issues, and professional frustrations. I had this feeling in my spirit that I was destined for more but it felt so far out of reach. I became more intentional about my relationship with God, so I started journaling my feelings and thoughts. Through journaling, I started to see that the common denominator in all of my situations was me. Understanding that my situation wasn’t going to just change, I started asking God to “Show me, ME!” I prayed that every day and watched how God had me show up differently in my career, marriage, and other relationships. During this time, I started a small group through my church for women who struggled with insecurities and doubt. As I began to serve and lead these women, I notice even more changes in myself.

By the end of 2017, God had given me the vision to help women push past their doubts and fears and the name Slaying Self Doubt™. In February 2018, while sitting in my office covering for one of my employees, I heard God say, “It’s time to go!” That day changed my life forever. Over the next year and a half, my family and I prepared for the next move, which was for me to leave my job to pursue my purpose. In June 2019, I took a HUGE LEAP of faith and resigned from my career of over 15 years to walk into my God-given purpose. After leaving my 9-5, I was able to put all my energy, time, and soul into Slaying Self Doubt™.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Heck No! It hasn’t been a smooth road because of LIFE! The first struggle was understanding that God gave me the vision and not my husband, which made us have to pause before taking the first step.

Once I left my job, my faith was tested in believing that God was going to do what He said He would do. I have to learn how to trust Him completely. Then when the pandemic hit, that was life-altering because everything was on pause. But the BIGGEST challenge has been that Slaying Self Doubt™ is so personal to me because it is me! I struggle with slaying my self-doubt daily, acknowledging that I deserve the things God has blessed me with, and, more importantly, that I am qualified to carry out His assignment.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Slaying Self Doubt™ is a movement to empower Black women to overcome their doubts, fears, and insecurities in order to give birth to their God-given purpose. I am a Purpose Empowerment Coach and the host of the Slaying Self Doubt™ podcast, a weekly podcast where I share my journey as a wife, mother, entrepreneur, and woman navigating my own slaying self-doubt journey!

As a Purpose Empowerment Coach, I help women identify their fears, doubts, and insecurities, acknowledge their pain, and forgive themselves so that they can walk into their God-given purpose. What sets me apart from others is my transparency and understanding that I am on assignment from God.

What I am most proud of is that through Slaying Self-Doubt™, Black women are no longer suffering in silence because of the community we are building. I need them to know that I am committed to helping them find their fears and SLAYING them!!

What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
My faith in God and my transparency. It’s taken me a while but I am 1000% comfortable with walking in my truth.
