Hey sis! I had to take a moment away, preparing for a busy summer. My son just graduated high school and we’re preparing for college so my mood has been up and down. When that happens I do two things outside of praying.

Emotionally snack or exercise. So yeah, ya girl has to stay in the gym. And I need to work on this sugar habit.

But summer is the time when folk focus on their #HotGirlSummer and vacation bodies. I get it. However, when it comes to health and fitness, it’s a lifestyle of adaption, commitment and self-acceptance. So that’s why we’ll chop it up in this four-episode “Grown Woman Fit Series”.

I feature some real convo with four grown women who been through some things. Depression. Dealing with a confidence crisis. Career changes. A call to ministry. Body changes that occur as we get older – not old! What could have been a deadly COVID diagnosis. Not having the initial body “prototype” of fitness. Learning to rid our vocabulary of the word “can’t”. All the things everyday women struggle with, these ladies are a testimony that we can move past the obstacles to achieve desired results. And now, these fitness/health entrepreneurs are sharing their stories, inspiring all of us to pursue our own #BodyGoals.

This week we’re kicking it off with my girl Tonille “Starr” Williams of Starr Luvly Bodies. She’s a trainer who had a unique vision – gutting a house in the inner city to create a fitness haven! Ladies not only build their bodies but a bond with Starr and each other. Sis is the real deal when it comes to helping her clients be their own body goal, while promoting softness and strength. Listen in as we discuss how working out impacts our bodies, mental health and ups our sexy quotient! Starr also gives the deets overcoming the mental blocks that keep you from starting a plan – or stuck where you are - and more.
