🎧 #313: The Secret to a Balanced June: Monthly Planning Made Simple ✨
Feeling overwhelmed and off-track? This week’s newsletter is a short but powerful pep talk specifically for Black women of faith struggling to find balance and purpose amidst the demands of life.
I emphasized the importance of monthly planning as a tool for aligning your life with God's will, prioritizing your well-being, and creating space for the Holy Spirit to move.
I also invited you to a special Blessed Balance Co-working Session focused on monthly planning; offering a discounted rate for all my beautiful podcast listeners (use code “birthdaymonth” at checkout to join us for the price of a latte 🤎)
🎧 Who Should Listen:
* Black women of faith who feel overwhelmed and struggle to stay on track with their goals.
* Women who want to prioritize their health and wellness but feel they lack the time or discipline.
* Anyone seeking a faith-based approach to planning.
* Black women of faith who struggled in May and don’t want June to be a repeat.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
* Monthly planning is more than just scheduling: It's about intentionally designing your life to honor your values, prioritize your well-being, and cultivate a deeper connection with God.
* Planning from a place of power: God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Use monthly planning to make decisions from a place of empowerment, not insecurity or desperation.
* Blessed Balance Co-working Session: Join me for a special co-working session on Monday, June 3rd at 6 CST / 7 EST to create a faith-filled monthly plan and connect with a supportive community. Podcast listeners get a special discount using code “birthdaymonth”.
In this week’s episode of Melanin Well, I dove another layer deep into my own health and wellness testimony. I always thought my health struggles started with a blood clot in college, but revisiting my past revealed a different truth. The root cause lies way back in my childhood. It wasn't easy, but I opened up about the trauma I experienced… the neglect… the emotional abuse. It’s something that definitely shaped me, especially my relationship with food, weight, and even God, but didn’t break me by the grace of God.
This episode is for you if you're ready to explore your own story. Maybe you've struggled with chronic dieting or food for as long as you can remember. There's a good chance your roots go deeper than you think. I want to encourage you to face those experiences and find healing.

This week on Melanin Well I shared a grief update on the fourth anniversary of my brother's passing; uncovering how grief isn’t linear and offering tips for coping with unexpected waves of grief and emotional freeze.
🎧 Who Should Listen—
Anyone who is currently grieving or has grieved in the past
Anyone interested in tips for mental and emotional well-being
✨ Key Takeaways—
Grief is not linear. There will be good days and bad days, even 4 years later.
Our bodies and brains may use a freeze response to cope with overwhelming emotions.
Prioritize self-care during difficult times; meeting yourself exactly where you’re.
Spend time in scripture. The Bible offers comfort and guidance and is SO powerful. It’s not a task to check-off to be a “good Christian”.
Plan, prioritize, and prepare for the week ahead coming out of tough emotional moments—but be flexible, adjust as needed, and always meet yourself exactly where you’re.
Focus on taking small steps forward versus trying to return to where you were before the wave of grief came over you.

This week, we outlined the power of nourishment, the harm of restrictive diets, and dove face first into our first 2 building blocks (nutrition and movement).
