Walking Away Is Not Failure — It’s Strategy

Guest: Simi Awokoya

What if the career move you’re most afraid to make is the one that changes everything?

In this powerful episode of From Roots to Froots, Arlyne sits down with career coach Simi to explore the moment that transformed her life, walking away from a role where she was denied a raise and securing a new job just four weeks later that doubled her salary.

Through honest conversation (and a competitive game of Jenga 🎲), this episode unpacks the emotional, cultural, and strategic realities many high-achieving Black women face at work from being overlooked for promotions to navigating salary negotiations and redefining self-worth.

This is not just a conversation about careers.

It’s about agency, identity, money mindset, and choosing yourself.
