  • 🎧 The Secret to a Balanced June: Monthly Planning Made Simple—#313 ✨

    🎧 #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”.

  • 🎧 Little Me, Big Trauma: How My Childhood Shaped My Relationship with Food, My Body, and God—#312 ✨

    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.

    Summary: In today's episode I admit the biggest health and wellness mistake I made in April; underestimating the impact of grief and neglecting my spiritual practices a bit in favor of practical solutions. I also emphasized the importance of prayer and balance between spiritual and practical approaches.


    Who Should Listen:



    • Anyone looking to improve their health and wellness routines

    • Black women of faith who are struggling to maintain consistency

    • Black women of faith dealing with grief


    Key Takeaways:



    • Faith and trust are foundational for health and wellness transformation. When faith wanes, so does discipline and desire.

    • Balance is key. Don't neglect spiritual practices in favor of purely practical solutions.

    • Reflection is crucial. Regularly reflect on your progress and challenges to identify areas for improvement.

    • Monthly planning with reflection is a powerful tool. It helps identify mistakes and adjust plans for better results.

    • Science supports reflection. It boosts self-awareness, helps learn from mistakes, and improves cognitive flexibility.

    This week on Melanin Well, we have a ⏮ rewiiiiind episode from Season 1 all about Christ-centered meditation and its immense benefits.


    Sandra Mclagan, the founder of Christ Centered Tribe, discusses her journey to discovering the practice, the impact it's had on her life, and debunks all the meditation myths holding you back from giving it a try.


    🎧 Who Should Listen:



    • People interested in meditation but want a Christian approach

    • People who are curious about the benefits of meditation

    • People who struggle with stress and are looking for new coping mechanisms


    🔑 Key Takeaways:



    • Meditation can be a Christian practice. The Bible mentions meditation many times, and there is a long history of contemplation and reflection in Christian traditions.

    • Christ-centered meditation is about intentionally pausing to connect with God. It's about quieting your mind and focusing on scripture, seeking God, and being open to engaging with Him.

    • Christ-centered meditation can help reduce stress. By slowing down and focusing on God, this practice can help people cope with the challenges of daily life.


    🗞 Quotes:



    • "The lack of education about what meditation is makes us fearful of what it is..."

    • "God says fix your eyes on things above and it has this element of intentionality that's often overlooked..."

    • "Christ-centered meditation is just a moment of pause to intentionally sit with the Lord."

    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.

    • Anyone who wants to learn more about stress management and building resilience

    3. Building Blocks of Stress Management: The episode introduces the concept of "building blocks" for stress management. These include skills (like “tolerating stress”), practices ( like “intentional breathwork” and “making time and planning ahead), and daily habits to support them.

    4. Examples of Stress Management Techniques: The episode provides practical examples of stress management techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and daily and weekly planning practices.

    5. Importance of Self-Compassion: The episode highlights the importance of meeting yourself where you are and avoiding comparisons to others.

    ⚡️ This episode is Part 2 of 3 of the “Brick by Brick: Building Your Black Girl Wellness Toolkit”. This 3-episode series is for the Black woman of faith who is “barely hanging on” and tired of it.



    Over the next 3 weeks, we are going to bust through the myths that health and wellness solely relies on willpower and discipline and we are gonna uncover the “building blocks” (the daily practices and skills that are the foundation for lasting health and wellness transformation).



    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).


    Who should listen:



    • Black women who are feeling overwhelmed and tired and are looking for a faith-based approach to health and wellness.

    • Anyone interested in learning about the negative effects of restrictive dieting and the benefits of a "nourishment-focused" approach.

    • People who struggle to find fitness routines that are sustainable and enjoyable.


    Key takeaways:



    • Restrictive dieting can trigger the fight-or-flight response, leading to stress, fatigue, and cravings.

    • Focus on "eating enough nutrients" by incorporating more vegetables into your diet.

    • Create "movement minimums" to find a level of activity you can enjoy and maintain consistently.

    • Building a strong routine suite that incorporates faith-based practices, health and wellness-promoting resources, and building blocks can help you find balance, manage stress, and finally kickstart health and wellness transformation.
