We had the good fortune of connecting with Saunya Starr J and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Saunya Starr, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
The number 1 habit that has helped me to succeed is doing my research and remaining curious. Curiosity can help you in so many ways because it causes you to ask questions many people wouldn’t think to ask so you get answers and results many people won’t get.

Staying resilient is another. Having the courage and wear withal to keep going when you feel like giving up or when everybody else around you has given up is crucial in your overall success. The resilience to stay through the tough times is what breeds successful people because, the journey isn’t always pretty and nice, there are going to be moments where you cry or feel alone but you have to push through it to get to the other side.

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 am a women’s wellness educator and content creator. My brand is called Fully Loving Yourself. I post educational content on womb health and lifestyle across multiple platforms. But what I’m most excited about is my Day In the Life Series because it shows the real, raw authentic life of a woman in her 30’s trying to figure life out, my audience loves it as well because it’s different & it’s fun & funny.

I didn’t learn how to do video until about 4 years ago in 2020 I picked up a camera to do YouTube and I had no clue what I was doing so I watched hella videos on how to grow, SEO, digital marketing, content strategy and psychology & no it hasn’t been easy. The spirit of comparison makes it harder though so I try to just focus on my lane cause I know I’m in my purpose.

I want my brand, Fully Loving Yourself to be a household name one day. Where people come to learn from my content or just be entertained by it. But the biggest thing is the impact, I want to impact through education.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I live in Raleigh, NC and actually my best friend did come to stay for a week with me to prep for my wedding. Lol. She came from the west, Arizona so I made sure to take her to cookout, bojangles, Pullen Park, downtown Raleigh where people go party, we went to my favorite plant based brunch spot, Irregardless & went hiking. It’s not a ton to do but in the summer there’s a lot of food truck events and I love to eat so I’m always hanging out there.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband is my biggest motivation. He keeps me going when I feel defeated or when I feel like giving up. He’s literally my biggest cheerleader and the most positive person ever. He believes in my dreams so deeply and pushes me to go after them daily.
