Dear Women of Color,

In the tapestry of life, each of you is a unique and vibrant thread, weaving stories of strength, resilience, and beauty. Today, we want to remind you of something crucial – prioritizing your well-being.

Your journey is filled with unique challenges and triumphs, and it's essential to recognize the significance of self-care and nurturing your overall health. Here are a few reasons why your wellbeing matters:

Empowerment: Your strength and courage can inspire and uplift others. By prioritizing your well-being, you empower yourself and the entire community around you.

Cultural Richness: Your heritage and cultural identity contribute to the world's richness. Taking care of your mental, physical, and emotional health ensures you can continue sharing your unique perspectives and stories.

Breaking Barriers: In a world that may present barriers, prioritizing your well-being becomes an act of rebellion. It declares that you deserve every ounce of care and attention, breaking down stereotypes and challenging societal norms.

Legacy of Resilience: Generations before you have displayed immense resilience. By embracing and nurturing your well-being, you carry forward a legacy of strength, proving that self-love and self-care are essential and revolutionary.

Collective Progress: Your well-being is interconnected with the well-being of your community. By caring for yourself, you contribute to the collective progress, creating a ripple effect that benefits future generations.

Holistic Flourishing: Wellbeing encompasses not only physical health but also mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness. Embracing a holistic approach to your health allows you to thrive in all aspects of your life.

Remember, you are deserving of love, care, and joy. Prioritize your well-being as an act of self-love and resistance. Your journey is a beacon of hope for others, showcasing that well-being is a personal choice and a collective celebration of life.

MAY INTENTION// “ I am humble enough to seek help when I need it “ As women, we carry a large load of responsibilities on our shoulders that we complete with joy. When our load becomes too heavy and we need to reach out for help, lets shake off the ego that binds us to our pride and free ourselves to accept help from others. 
 
There is a limit to what we can do – a fact we accept with humility. 
 
Asking for help from others takes a level of humility and courage we are capable of achieving. Life would be lonely and boring if we were able to do everything without needing the help of anyone. When someone helps us and we help someone else, we build community.

THE MOVEMENT DIMENSION // The need to move our bodies has been gradually eroted from our modern lives has been replaced with their modern concert of exercise. The whole point of moving the body is to be able to connect the body with the mind and learn to accept your body and honor it regardless of where it is and what it can do. The body craves liberation, not conditioning. When you feel safe in your body you can develop an empowering movement practice that honors your natural rhythm, deepens your capacity for pleasure, and gives you permission to be a badass with your playlist!

THE FEELINGS DIMENSION // “One thing you can't hide is when you're imprisoned on the inside.” Women are still struggling with the concept of freedom. We thought we were free when we could vote. We thought we were free when we could be like men. We thought we were free when we could work and be the head of the household. We thought were free when we could treat men the way they treat us. We thought we were free when we had money and power and influence.

With all of the freedom, we are afforded why are women burned out and energetically depleted. Is the quest for freedom keeping you in bo***ge, imprisoned in a way of living that no longer serves your highest and best self? What do you need to give up to experience real freedom?

THE SOUL DIMENSION// The truth is, a lot of us don’t feel like were allowed to be tired. It’s when we get sick and tired of being sick and tired real self care begins . We can finally acknowledge that to be well , we will need to stop setting aside our own needs in order to provide for, comfort, and encourage everyone around us It’s time to advocate for our own well-being and admit that we’re tired. It’s ok.
