Feeling like an imposter means you’ve forgotten your strength, knowledge, and all the incredible things you’ve overcome. You didn’t go through everything you’ve been through just to survive it—you went through it to grow stronger, gain wisdom, and build credibility.When we start something new, we often think we’re starting at zero. But you’re not. You’re starting with everything you’ve already learned, survived, and achieved. You’re starting with a whole set of skills, knowledge, and experiences that make you ready for this next step.So stop discounting yourself. Stop counting yourself out. It’s time to count yourself IN and remember:You’ve got this. You’ve done it before, and you can do it again—even better this time.You’re not an imposter. You’re prepared. You’re experienced. You’re capable.Start owning it.

“Even on cold days, I make it a point to step outside and immerse myself in nature. It’s amazing how the crisp air and tranquil surroundings can clear my mind, helping me process and let go of any brewing stress. Nature has this unique ability to aid in our mental decompression.

Perhaps you have your own way of finding clarity. The key is to process your thoughts before they turn into unhelpful worries. A simple practice to adopt? Try taking 30-minute walks in nature, five days a week. Consider this a gentle warning: it’s likely to become your new addiction! There’s something in the essence of nature that draws you back, time and again.

Feeling overwhelmed by constant thoughts? Remember, a walk in nature can be your best defense against those thoughts taking over.

🌿 How do you reconnect with nature to find peace? Share your experiences!

Though I am making every effort to not allow my workplace to become this toxic, I can say it’s definitely difficult.

We can shake our heads and wonder how?

Why su***de??

I address in my book, “ Liberating the Proverbs 31 Woman”, what can happen mentally, emotionally and physically when women don’t mitigate their stressors.

Stress throws our hormonal balance into disarray, leading to chaos in both mind and body.

What was once manageable becomes a mountain. Minor irritations grow into major burdens. And for us women, particularly Black women, this impact is even more pronounced. Su***de is not impossible, in fact, it becomes a reasonable option once the mind is in crisis and confused due to the hormonal disruptions. It’s truly disheartening.

While we may not have the power to overhaul the system, support each other as we attempt to cope with and navigate toxic work environments.

Dr. Candia-Bailey’s work, her struggles, and her untimely passing will not be forgotten. Her legacy is a reminder of the urgent need to address these issues.

Stress does not play around!

In midlife, women often face unique stressors – from career demands and family responsibilities to physical changes and societal expectations. This stress can disrupt hormonal balance, setting off a chain reaction in the body. What starts as minor dis-ease can escalate into significant health issues if the root cause, stress, isn’t addressed.

Some ways to manage stress:

1. Prioritize Self-Care: Allocate time for activities that rejuvenate your mind and body – be it reading, yoga, or a relaxing bath.
2. Mindful Practices: Incorporate mindfulness or meditation into your daily routine to help manage stress and improve mental clarity.
3. Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or professionals for support. Sometimes, just talking about your stressors can be incredibly relieving.
4. Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep to bolster your body’s resilience against stress.

Have you ever felt like you're living by a script that everyone else seems to have a hand in writing?

It’s time to draft your own narrative, embracing the freedom to live as you truly imagine. This journey towards self-liberation, especially for midlife women, means shedding the layers of external expectations and rediscovering the essence of who you are and what you truly desire. In other words… block out what everyone else thinks and find what lights you up inside."

In “Liberating the Proverbs 31 Woman,” we explore this path of self-discovery and empowerment. Here are key steps to guide you:

1. **Your Path, Your Rules:** Remember, your life's story is yours to write. No one else gets a pen.
2. **Breaking the Mold:** Who says you have to fit into someone else's box? Create your own shape.
3. **Speak Up, Stand Out:** Got something to say? Let the world hear it. Your voice matters.
4. **Chase What Matters to You:** What makes your heart happy? Do more of that. Forget the rest.

What does your ideal story look like and sound like?

I once clung to the need for safety, only to find myself trapped in a world of stagnation, unfulfilled dreams, and a pervasive sense of being stuck. The moment of realization came with a powerful truth: these chains were imaginary, forged from the stories I told myself.

We often craft narratives of safety that justify our lack of progress, forgiveness, and joy. But the stories of the life we yearn to create are daunting, lacking the safety net of familiar excuses.

Rewriting your story means embracing your failures, flaws, and victories, taking radical responsibility for your life’s direction. It’s a daunting journey, fraught with challenges, but transformative. Change only beckons when the discomfort of the status quo outweighs the fear of the unknown.

For those feeling trapped in stagnation, unsure of where to start changing, my book is a beacon of hope. “Liberating the Proverbs 31 Woman: Rewriting Old Narratives for Health, Happiness, and Hormone Harmony” addresses the societal norms that keep women confined in a cycle of sadness, illness, and suffering.

What if I told you that age is not your enemy?

Age is just like what they say… a number!

Some say that age is irrelevant because man had to put time into context for the purpose of measuring, calendar creation , etc.

The secret is… STRESS!

Stress running rampant inside your body, out of control, causing chaos and confusion, is the reason why we look and feel some type a f way as the numbers get bigger.

So… what if you focused on stressing less, stressing better and decompressing the stress you do have?

Guess what… don’t tell nobody, but you will find yourself feeling younger, looking better, moving faster, and starting your day happier.

Deal with that thing called stress in your life and that’s when you’ve got something.

Distress and be blessed.

Tell me… have seen a difference in your body when you let the stress go? Let me know in the comments.

How you stress affects how you age!

That says and explains it all. How you stress will determine your lifespan, health span, disease beginnings and your happiness endings.

If there is nothing else I concern myself with on a daily basis… no it’s not my weight…. It’s stress.

Finding ways to take my stress levels down as far as possible is a daily chore and challenge, but it gets done.

Why?

Because stress management is a non-negotiable for me because I know if I don’t make it a priority, it will make me, my health, my body and my life a priority.

What ways to you manage your stress? I want to hear in the comments.
