The Living List

What if you stopped living on autopilot — and started living by intention?

That's the question that sparked The Living List podcast.

As a creative, a multi-hyphenate, and someone who's spent years navigating corporate spaces, I found myself wondering:Is checking off goals the same as truly living?Or is there a deeper way to design the life you actually want to wake up to every day?

By what I can only call divine timing, my friend — and fellow corporate girlie and self-diagnosed workaholic — Brittiany Cierra was feeling the exact same way.

The Living List was born from that shared curiosity — and from a decision to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start living, one experience, one conversation, and one bold (or even timid) step at a time.

What Is The Living List?

The Living List isn’t just about crossing things off a bucket list. It’s about intentional living — reclaiming your timeline, your joy, your creativity, and your voice.

Each episode explores real, vulnerable conversations about ambition, healing, growth, and the often messy but beautiful journey of building a life outside of society’s default settings.

We dive into the lessons learned from chasing dreams, facing setbacks, unlearning survival mode, and choosing softness and freedom over hustle and grind. And of course check things off our LIVING LIST.

The Living List is also about exploration —building a life full of goals that have nothing to do with work, status, or external expectations.

It's about doing things simply because they make you happy.

Over the years, we've:

• Skydived

• Frozen our eggs to take ownership of our futures,

• Dated more intentionally (and sometimes just for fun),

• Learned full choreography routines (hello, Beyoncé energy!),

• Walked alongside lions.

• Explored new countries and cultures

• And said yes to experiences that simply made us feel alive.

  
  

Because living your list isn't about productivity.It's about presence.It's about joy.It's about creating a life that reflects your dreams — not just your job title.

For so many of us — especially Black women, creatives, and corporate professionals — life can feel like a never-ending checklist:

• Get the degree

• Get the job

• Climb the ladder

• Repeat

But what about designing a life that feels good, not just looks good?

What about celebrating the small wins, the pivots, and the radical moments of choosing yourself?

The Living List is a love letter to anyone who’s realized that success is not just about working harder — it's about living louder, softer, and more on purpose.
