The Forced Pause: When Your Body Makes You Slow Down
In this episode of Black Women Will Save Black Women, Kamika opens this week's Fail Forward File with a reflection on impatience, burnout, and what happens when Black women push past their limits instead of listening to their bodies.
Kamika is joined in the sanctuary by Tanisha 'Coach T' Stewart, who shares how a near‑death experience during COVID reshaped her relationship with health, faith, and purpose. This ultimately lead to her to exit from corporate life into fitness and community‑centered wellness. Together, they explore what our bodies are trying to tell us, why health is often the first thing sacrificed during career transitions, and how to prioritize yourself with intention instead of pressure. The conversation also makes space for perimenopause and menopause, simple wellness habits that actually stick, and treating your body like your most valuable asset and not an afterthought.
The episode closes with this week's S.A.V.E. Strategy: Elevate—a reminder that choosing your health, honoring your limits, and slowing down is not falling behind. It's leadership.
Tanisha "Coach T" Stewart is the owner of Kid Fit LLC, Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist, NASM Personal Trainer, and the creator of Pray. Shed. Win! Coach T is passionate about helping women over 40 transform their bodies and lives while also teaching nearly 650 kids as a PE Specialist. She's been a featured presenter at state conferences, nominated multiple times for Teacher of the Year, and brings unmatched energy to every stage she steps on.
