We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Bianca “Mz Bee’ Lee a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Bianca “Mz Bee’, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. How did you get your first job in the field that you practice in today?
Ironically, I began operating in the field of Coaching and Counseling as a professional in the beauty industry (Master Cosmetologist and Instructor). As we all know, the moment that you find the perfect hair stylist or barber and become a regular, you establish a very close and personal relationship with them. In fact, in some ways, they become your best friend and confidante. While in their chair, you share some of your deepest, darkest secrets or some of your most transparent, vulnerable moments hoping to receive some sound advice or maybe simply hoping for a pair of ears to listen. Either way, as a hairstylist, I was privy to these precious moments and was very careful not to mishandle them by interjecting/forcing my opinion into their already heavy circumstance but truly finding the right words to say that would render aid and, possibly, give a different point of view. Unknowingly, I was in a coaching role for years and when I saw that servicing the public was more than just providing a beauty service but also about providing an experience that would assist them in leaving your presence better than they arrived, I decided to take it seriously and embark on the journey to become a certified coach with multiple focuses as it was apparent that there was a need and I desired to be a solution to a growing problem…a problem that WE ALL have in our ongoing journeys called life. After thinking about the many times that I had so many questions about my own life or how to make it through my own devastating events in life as well as listening to others’ intimate stories, it was evident that there needed to be more outlets that encouraged communication, healing, recovery, release and embrace. I went on to achieve five coaching certifications and, soon after, achieved my PsyD in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, former recording artist (singer/songwriter ), musician, entrepreneur and author. Although I have experienced a very fulfilling entertainment and entrepreneurial journey, being a Life, Purpose, Spiritual and Sexual/Intimacy Coach is where I thrive. Not because of the title or field but because this is what I was born for.
Life‘s experiences and divine guidance have, truly, developed me to be a wonderful example of inspiration to all that I’ve encountered and has equipped me with a powerful tool and a much-needed message that has been, is, and will continue to be spread throughout the nations through encouragement, motivation, mentorship, teachings, support and tribe building.
I have been honored to act as a Spiritual Mother to ALL… A teacher of Purpose and TOTAL alignment. My mission is to assist in connecting YOU with your purpose so that you can achieve your life’s FULL-fillment at the level that you deserve. My skill is to assist you in identifying, reaching, and launching your Divine Purpose by cultivating your gifts and developing your abilities, resulting in undeniable life alignment (emotionally, mentally, spiritually, intimately, physically, sexual/intimacy and financially) and undisputed success stories.
I released my debut publication in 2020 and am now honored to be an esteemed Author. The honor extends throughout my journey as Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, Public Speaker/Platform Influencer, Certified Master Life, Purpose, Business and Sexual/Intimacy Coach of Bianca “Mz Bee” Lee, LLC, owner of Beauty by Mz Bee Salon Studios, LLC, co-founder of Behind The Scenes Awards & Recognition, LLC (The BTS Awards), founder of 501(c)3 nonprofit organization Beyond The Scenes Community Effort, Inc., and owner of EMC3 All Natural Infused Decadence.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
My journey in life has been full of resilience, determination, and courage. It all began when I finished school and became a Master Cosmetologist and Master Cosmetology Instructor. Those were fulfilling roles that opened my eyes to the beauty and possibilities of life.
From there, I didn’t stop my quest for knowledge and increased my skillset. I leapt out of my comfort zone and started studying life and purpose coaching. By doing this, I was able to use my creativity to build bridges between people and help them boost their confidence levels and move away from their everyday life struggles. I then decided to take my learning further and underwent my pursuit towards my Doctorate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an immensely rewarding field.
At the same time, I became more knowledgeable about intimacy and relationship coaching as well, which I found to be inspiring and necessary. I decided to pursue it and, slowly but surely, I increased my expertise and knowledge. I kept learning and making connections, allowing my love for helping people to be met with understanding and respect.
In the end, all of my learning helped me to bring together all the components of my skill set and become an all-round Life & Purpose Coach, Intimacy Coach, Spiritual Coach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. It was a challenge that tested my mental and physical endurance, but I kept going, believing that every step I was taking was one giant leap closer to my ultimate goal.
I am proud and inspired to have achieved so much in such a short amount of time. I believe that it’s through resilience and determination that we can reach our goals. I am grateful that I was able to combine my enthusiasm and skills to help others lead a better and more fulfilling life, and thankful for my family, friends and partners that were with me during my journey.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
Conscientiousness, perseverance and a strong belief that everyone has the potential for living out their best life have formed the core of my approach to coaching, counseling and purpose alignment. I have invested both time and energy into developing my craft, reading up on the latest research, networking and attending courses to hone my skills. Additionally, I have sought to apply a sense of professionalism and respect when interacting with clients and colleagues, spending quality time with each one in order to understand the individual, while building trust and rapport. Overall, my commitment to understanding their needs and helping them realize their fullest potential is what has helped me gain a reputation within my market. I love people and my goal is to see them live the very best life that they deserve while living it as their very best selves.
