In Part 4 of The Corporate Code Series, Erin breaks down The Wait Code. So many Black women say they want to leave toxic jobs and make moves, and yet years go by, nothing changes, and we’re still “getting ready to get ready.”
In this episode of Coffee No Cream, Erin Braxton breaks down why Black women procrastinate career changes they already know they need to make, and how waiting slowly becomes a lifestyle.
- This isn’t about being reckless.
- It’s not about quitting without a plan.
- And it’s not about motivation.
It’s about the quiet ways we convince ourselves to wait:
✅ Waiting on a promotion or bonus
✅ Waiting to feel more confident or qualified
✅ Waiting for permission, validation, or the “right time”
✅ Waiting because someone else already did it
✅ Waiting because life feels too busy, too uncertain, too heavy
Erin demystifies the excuses in real time and challenges the idea that waiting is always strategic, especially when you already know a job is harming you.
If you’ve been telling yourself “I’ll make a move later” for years, this conversation is for you.
