How Smart Women Boost their Holiday Joy and Cheer During the Holidays
Where does the magic of the holidays live? The magic lives in us, in every breath we take. Every breath is an opportunity to live life in any way we choose. We so often get bogged down in our own stuff, our family and friends’ stuff and the stuff of the world. Sometimes it is hard to breathe. This causes us to forget that with each breath comes an opportunity. A choice. A decision. This holiday season, women can choose how they will use that breath. I personally have chosen to experience joy and cheer wi...

10 Toxic Thought Patterns that Lead to Staggering Burnout in Black Women Part 2
Emotional self-care relies on one’s ability to think clearly and factually. So often our thought life is full of imaginings, dreams and fancies that cause satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, the thoughts may not be factual. Our thoughts are also influenced by experiences and ingrained beliefs. This affects our ability to engage in healthy interactions. So, how does one deliver emotional self-care in a meaningful way? We begin by recognizing and understanding our habitual toxic thought patterns, then we work to change them.

10 Toxic Thought Patterns that Lead to Staggering Burnout in Black Women
Do you park in the same spot at work? Sit in the same pew at church? You probably order the same meal at your favorite fast-food restaurant. We are creatures of habit doing the same actions in the same order at the same time of the day. Habits also fuel our thought life. We each have patterns of thinking that were developed by our experiences. These thought patterns influence our wellbeing. They can also increase our potential for burnout.

How Empowered Black Women use Core Beliefs to Improve Mental Health
“I am not good enough.” “I am not important.” “I am damaged that’s why no one will love me.” Do these statements sound familiar? You may have a friend, sister, aunt or cousin who makes similar statements. Perhaps you say these things about yourself. You and I both know that these are not the only negative statements that women tell themselves. We could probably develop a list that is pages long. These statements are verbal reminders of the doubts we feel about ourselves. We think and say them when we feel vulnerable. They come from beliefs t...

3 Actions Secure Black Women Take to Practice Emotional Self-Care
I often end correspondence, talks and even video podcasts with the phrase “take good care.” To “take good care,” we must go beyond our thoughts and dive deep into our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Taking good care is more than a spa day or a day spent with friends, although those activities are fun and revitalizing. Taking good care requires introspective action that may be challenging and uncomfortable. We must sometimes allow ourselves to be vulnerable to get to those deep places that keep us from moving forward. In this episode of “Stre...

3 Steps Black Women Should Take Towards Emotional Self-Care
We are starting a study of what is needed for Black women to take care of themselves emotionally. Life is tough for Black women. We must be all things to most people and twice as good to some. Our worth is often measured not by our character, but by the texture of our hair, the color of our skin or the size of our butt. Regardless of our accomplishments, we tend to be our own worst critics. This makes us sad, anxious and depressed. We must learn and practice ways to stay safe, feel secure and stand...

3 Strong Actions Women Need to Live a Brilliant Golden Life
I am still reeling from those magnificent performances during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. What about you? I’ve thought about Steph Curry’s 3 point run that sealed the gold medal for the USA men’s basketball team. I watched how the women’s basketball team banded together to defeat an awesome French women’s team. Sifan Hassan won the women’s Olympic marathon in record time. She also won bronze medals in the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter races. She ran over 38 miles over the course of the Olympic event. So many of us dream of living a gol...

8 Benefits Women Get from a Balanced and Harmonious Life Plan
What makes for a balanced life? If you are a working woman, with a family, a balanced life may seem elusive. What does that even mean, anyway? Well, let’s talk about what it doesn’t mean first. A balanced life does not mean that we can use accounting principles or mathematics to determine whether we are living in equilibrium. Time is not the only value we should consider. Our skewed ideas of perfection also do not create or define life balance. Life balance is as individualized as we each are. The definition, measure and outco...

Compassion is the First Anchor Women Embrace for Mindful Living
Mindfulness is not just sitting in a corner on a cushion chanting or listening to a guided meditation. It is not just knowing a method to calm oneself or lower stress levels. Mindfulness goes beyond one single person. The foundation for mindfulness living is that everything is connected. We are all interconnected. Imagine that. What one thinks, says and does affects others. What one believes, drives thoughts and behaviors which affect others. Women have an opportunity to embrace this concept and influence the world around them by extending compassion to themselves and to others. In...

How Women Absolutely Win the World Practicing Compassion and Loving-Kindness

How to Release Emotions and Beat Stress with Passive Progressive Relaxation
