Meet Renee Youngblood | Life Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Renee Youngblood and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Renee, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My sister and I started our business “Leecy’s Daughters “off the love and journey of our mother. We recognize things from our mothers life that was passed down to us and we wanted to create a space where women and girls could have a place to retreat to when life can become tough. Even when things are going good “Leecy’s Daughters ” supports every moment. I wanted to have women that I could turn to and support me and push me to the best version of myself and help motivate me to release what was bad and or negative and welcome everything that is good and positive. So starting this business was something that I knew I always wanted growing up and even being an adult hope to have. Women encouraging and supporting other women.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’ve worked in corporate world for many years now and one thing that it has taught me, is that you have to work hard and never give up. Being in corporate world also gave me the motivation to strive to be my own boss and take everything that you learn in your daily life, personal and professional and create your own path and business. I understood that it will never be easy but staying focused and working hard will pay off and will definitely be worth it in the end.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well my friends and myself are such calm and chill type of people, so I would definitely start our day off with brunch at Post & Beams or Toast on the Westside. Then I would take them down to The Grove to walk around and do a little site seeing and shopping. Once we leave there, I would want to take them to The Calm studio for a quick relaxing meditation moment. Then leaving there if the day is nice, maybe hit up a rooftop spot to catch the sunset and chill and talk and laugh and get a bite to eat with drinks. Then end our night maybe at a comedy club or somewhere we can hear some live music.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There’s a few people I want to give a shout out too that have continue to pushed me and support me to this day. First is my sister Brittiny, my best friend, my business partner and one of my biggest supporters. Next is my brother Jason, who mindset and ways of thinking is so encouraging and I am always proud that my little brother become the man he is today. My grandmother, who prays for me and with me and has always supported me and encouraged me. My Aunt Erikka, another best friend a person that genuinely has my back and has always encouraged and supported me no matter what. My dear friend Ke’sha, my laughing buddy and one of my biggest supporters that has always been by my side. And my love Kevin, who has truly planted seeds of wisdom and love in me that has helped me in my journey. And last my family and friends they all had a hand in who I am today. But ultimately I would not be me if it wasn’t for my mother Alicia and God’s grace. I love every one of them with every inch of my heart.
