Meet Niya Brown-Matthews | Master Life Coach, Author, Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Niya Brown-Matthews and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Niya, what do you attribute your success to?
My most important factor behind my success and the success of my brand has always been, having a strong spiritual foundation. Believing in something bigger than yourself. When you have belief in something greater than you the striving never stops, it’s a continuous moving forward. You are always striving for betterment never looking for anything less. Often times there is no tangible feeling just a gut feeling or knowing that the more I stick with the more reward I will become. My faith in God has been the root to the success of every business I’ve ever started.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I created Soulfood Sessions with Niya LLC to help women walk in their true destiny, build their confidence, get crystal clear on their vision, and become success magnets. As a Certified Life Coach, Motivational Speaker and bestselling Author, I know one thing to be true: Your life, & business will only thrive if you do.

I got to where I am today by creating the change I wanted to see… offering a solution to people’s problems or obstacles.

Some lessons I’ve learned along the way would be 1. Your direction is more important than your speed! 2. Being patient in the wait. 3. Enjoy being your own company. Understanding the “stillness” season. 4. Embrace the journey. Realize it’s a marathon and not a sprint so what you to to prepare make sure it’s sustains through adversity’s.

What I would like the world to know about me which is also my brand, would be that I’ve proven that through the toughest life’s obstacles, surviving breast cancer twice, you too can overcome life’s obstacles if you changed your mindset to believe you can. We are resilient humans and the minute we recognize how much power we have within us, the sooner we would be on the road to to our true destiny.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
A Day at the Spa always makes for a good start so try St Regis hotel and spa for your spa needs and dinner after.. Go for a day of shopping and cocktails at the Shops of Buckhead & the Southern Gentleman.
The High Museum of Art is a great place to spend the day then grab dinner & drinks at 5th Church
Go for a walk the on the Beltline and stop by
The James Room for a macaroons or crafted cocktail.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would definitely give credit to my amazing family, and clients that’s supported my journey and my businesses.
