NAACP-Nominated Author & Interior Designer June on Burnout, Boundaries & Moving Abroad to Thailand

Описание: NAACP-Nominated Author & Interior Designer June on Burnout, Boundaries & Moving Abroad to Thailand

Welcome to All of the Things Podcast with host OnJaLee LaShay, filmed right here in colorful Bangkok, Thailand.

In this episode, we sit down with June, an author, interior designer, and co-leader of a Black interior design nonprofit who pressed pause on “doing all the things” in Houston, Texas to finally pursue herself. After launching a successful design business, publishing a book that earned an NAACP nomination, and carrying the weight of leadership, marriage, and community work, June hit a wall: burnout, back injury, and a full-on identity crisis. So she did something radical… she booked a one-way ticket to Thailand.

From her first 26-hour international flight to nearly 45 days in Bangkok, June opens up about what it really feels like to step away from everything familiar: her marriage of 16+ years, her business, and the version of herself that only knew how to fix, perform, and over-function for everyone else. We talk about going to therapy, taking a three-day break from her marriage that changed everything, questioning whether she’s “really” a designer or a writer, and learning that she doesn’t have to choose just one.

This candid conversation dives into burnout, boundaries, identity, and what it means to be a multi-passionate Black woman in a world that keeps asking, “So what’s next?” June shares how Thailand became a mirror, reflecting back her patterns of over-giving, people-pleasing, and tying her worth to productivity. We talk about the power of saying no, the lesson of “the bear is not chasing you,” how interior design is really psychology in 3D, the impact of AI on creativity, and her dream of spending her 33rd birthday in Bali as she continues to wander, heal, and redefine success on her own terms.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between versions of yourself, exhausted from being “the strong friend,” or afraid to start over even when your spirit is screaming for change, this episode will remind you that you are allowed to choose you, again and again.
