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

Hi Tanica, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
I must admit I am a lot more busy now then when I first started my business. I work full-time, part-time and I pour myself into my business even more.

Most of my time is spent recharging my mental and emotional state. I do that by journaling, listening to music, craving time out for my own self care practices.

How I think about balance is how I view a lot of other things; “ continue to do what sets your mind free” . It’s no right or wrong way if you are living through your own lens. I am most happy when I am doing what I love and work doesn’t feel like work if I am motivated by purpose, passion and positive energy. 

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Elevyn11 doesn’t compare themselves to other businesses who are similar. Our journey and our goals are different from business to business and we strive to cater to those who love and support our brand.

Nothing is easy and I didn’t expect for us to be growing as fast as we are today. I also didn’t expect so much love and support and I thank those who continue to place orders with us. It’s many other brands but you continue to show support for Elevyn11.

We have big plans for Elevyn11 in the future and we look forward to continuing to serve those who love and support us.

The lessons I learned along the way is never give up on your vision. It maybe many people doing the same exact thing but your supper power is “THEY ARE NOT YOU”. Those who are meant to support you will.

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.
In Atlanta it’s so many great spots to have a good time. I love the belt line or chill at the Avalon in Alpharetta. I love a good cheese steak, check out Big Dave’s. Atlanta has so many spots to enjoy good food and drinks. I no longer drink but you can get good Mocktails and cocktails anywhere in Atlanta lol.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Shoutout to God for giving me the mental capacity and the strength to do it all. Every day that I wake up it’s a new opportunity to be great, to feel great and to do what I love.

Next I would like to thank ME for believing in my vision, getting up daily and believing in my purpose. Elevyn11 strives to encourage women and men to spend time with thy self and work on yourself fully. Mentally, spirituality, emotionally and physically. For each person this may look different and I encourage everyone to give themselves the credit and grace they deserve.

Lastly shoutout to our customers. I am blessed to meet women and men who take the time to support local businesses and those who tell a friend to tell friend to shop Elevyn11 for all your self care essentials.
