Do you guys remember when I said I attended a historic event in DC two weeks ago to celebrate the Black Woman World Record Movement? I shared some pics and said there's more to come. Well, more is here! Details are listed below! Go ahead and mute me if you don't want to hear me ranting daily about the beauty, excellence and brilliance of Black women over the next couple of weeks. We have a lofty but doable goal, and I believe we can do it. Join the movement.

Here's a message from our founder, Jen Franks Ahaghotu:

📣It all starts tomorrow!!!📣

Let's answer a common question: What is the difference in Empathy and Sympathy?

Sympathy is feeling sorry for another person’s misfortune. It is limited to understanding from your own perspective. Sympathy doesn't look at how others are impacted.

Empathy is the ability to share in another person's feelings. It means to put yourself in their shoes so you know why they feel this way, also called emotional empathy. There are also two other levels of empathy (cognitive and compassionate).

Work through your own personal development journey and start growing with empathy.

The moment you are ready to give up is the exact moment you need to push harder. It’s easy to forget how far you’ve come and the progress you’ve made. You may start to doubt yourself and your achievements.

It’s completely normal and yet you have to fight the urge to stay in a place of comfort. There’s no growth without some measure of discomfort.

Focus on your next milestone and achievement to take the next step. Stay the course, take a deep breath, pray, meditate, and find your inner strength to go on.

Phone a friend, accountability partner, therapist coach. Whatever the goal and whatever the obstacle that presents, don't quit!

You’re almost there!

Download our journal prompts and push yourself a little more!

Self talk is so important.

What you say to yourself matters more than what others say to you. The little voice that constantly tells you that you aren't good enough is always with you. It tries to bring you down by constantly telling you that everyone else is doing better.

Block it out!

Don't let that voice stop you from achieving your goals, getting some help, taking a vacation, and putting yourself first.

That voice is you, and now is the time to change the narrative. You need to change your words so you can change your mentality.

Celebrate you! Take time for you! Do what makes you feel good!

3 Things TV Shows get WRONG about people with mental health concerns.

1. The person is prone to violence
Mental illness alone isn't a predictor of violent behavior
Age, s*x and stress level (plus other factors) contribute to aggression

2. The person won't seek help because therapy doesn’t work
Mental health professionals are written as cold and uncaring, therefore pushing the myth that “there is no one to turn to”

3. The person is overly dramatic
The reality of a drama-free life doesn't make good television.
When people are struggling with mental health challenges there is absolutely no desire to be dramatic. They’re often experiencing real life suffering that is deeply impacting their daily lives.

If you need any help, find a real therapist; not one “made for T.V." The truth is everyone has mental health and therapy can be beneficial even if you don’t suffer from a mental health disorder.

Mental health hygiene and personal growth allows you to work on the person you desire to be and the goals you long to accomplish in life, love and business.

Life is like a camera.

Focus on what's important.

Capture the good times.

You need the negatives to develop the full picture.

And if things don't work out... take another shot!

You can't take action and move forward if you’re holding on to past challenges .

Dwelling on the person you used to be and mistakes you made in the past doesn't reflect who you can be today.

Be the one who is ready and willing to take action.

Be the one who normalizes your struggles with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout or relationship challenges.

Ask for the help you need and expect it to be given because you’re deserving.

Be the one to end your family’s generational curses.

Don’t suffer in silence and don’t do nothing. Even if all you’re able to do is ask for help. That’s enough.

Only you can make that choice.

Comment below I'M READY if you are going to take action.

Knowing who you are and what you stand for is important. Your core values become your guiding light for boundaries you want respected.

When you stand on these principles, your relationship becomes stronger. What is one of your relationship values?

Dave is Guyanese and Indian. I am Black American.

We value love over tradition.

Remember, tradition is just man made things. No matter how many decades or generations ago it was written, it's just man made rules that you can rewrite at any time.

What's more important - tradition or your relationship?

On this journey called life, there are oftentimes when you feel confused 🤔 or uncertain about where your life currently is and what road 🚸you should take to get there.

Truth is at some point in your late 20s, 30s, 40s or even your 50s you realize the expectations you once had for your life and all you’d hoped it would be don’t meet the reality of how your life actually has turned out to be.

Not to mention the nonstop train 🚂 life has you on where ALL THE THINGS need done all at once 😩 or so it seems.

You may be tempted to give in to the temptation to avoid, distract, blame others, withdrawal and disconnect. I mean who has time for soul searching, self-discovery and connecting with friends and family when I just want to hop in the bed 🛌 , throw the covers over my head and wait until tomorrow?

My suggestion is you do this instead:

✅Take time to become aware of who you are, your purpose in life and what actions are pulling you closer or further from that purpose.

✅Remain inspired. Inspiration is that thing that moves us and it’s literally all around us. It could be friends, family, a mentor, books, podcasts, social media accounts or even your past works. Inspiration is required to feel something enough that we engage in the “doing” that moves us closer to where we desire to be.

✅Stay connected to sources of inspiration and those that are willing to support you, encourage you and hold you accountable. It’s easy to say, “I’m too busy”. The truth is you may be too BUSY but you’d be a lot more PRODUCTIVE when you’re connected to the right people.

Be encouraged folks, you’ve got this.

There is a fine line between being absolutely PERFECT and waiting to the last minute to perfect something.

Don't wait and don't try to make it perfect. Tip the scale in your favor and do it well so that you are authentic and honest with yourself once you complete the task.

If you need support figuring out the difference, reach out to us for a complimentary consultation. The link is in our bio.

Green Flags?
YES!

If you are only looking for the bad (i.e. red flags), you won't appreciate the good in front of you.

Show up for YOU and be authentic because that's the only way your partner can be themselves too.

Authenticity matters from the beginning.
What do you do to be authentic?

09/22/2021

What does it mean to you?

What does it mean to your partner?

Finally, do you both agree on what they mean to you together?

09/17/2021

Only you can give someone else control over your life. And why would you do that anyway?

Your power belongs to you. If someone else wants the power to control you, recognize what you are about to give up and DON'T DO IT!

Your relationship should be about collaboration, respect, trust, and honesty. It should never be about controlling your partner.

Work with your partner to communicate, understand, and support each other.

What are some positive ways you work with your partner?

09/16/2021

Trauma is an emotional response.

Healing is a therapeutic experience.

You can’t have one without the other.

However, you can live your authentic life and tip the scale in your favor.

Which one does your scale favor?

Drop a ❤️ for a healing experience or 💛 a for an work in progress.

09/14/2021

Why does it have to be one way or another? Why does the all or nothing mentality seem to win out?

You don't have to be all business and you don't have to be all fun and games.

Harmony is important. Use the knowledge you possess to understand when to be flexible and when to be a little more firm.

Your life experience is about balancing the fun side with the serious and not letting one dominate the other.

This is for the women…

We are about 3 months away from Black Friday. This is prime shopping time for the holidays.

But your job has cut your hours and your spouse isn't working that much either. Do you go ahead and spend money on presents & gifts like all is normal?

Or do you two have a conversation to determine what you want to do as a couple for the holiday season?

If you go ahead & spend the money without talking, what will THAT conversation be like when you show up with all these gifts?

If you have a conversation & make a plan, will you stick to it?

If...if...if… Share below in the comments what you'd do and why.

09/11/2021

If your feelings inside don't match your appearance on the outside, you can only wear a mask for so long.

If you think that listening to old ways of “just get over it" OR "I don't see what the big deal is” will help you get past the trauma, you'll never heal.

We know you don't see it as trauma, but why are you wearing a fake smile? Why let their words bother you?

Trauma is an emotional response.

Take back your power for you.

You can let it (and those people) go.

When you let go, embrace your authentic self. We can help with the next step when you’re ready.

09/10/2021

Being vulnerable exposes you to the outside world.

It opens you up to discussing your drug addiction, your sleepless nights, and your need for emotional validation.

When you remove the temporary band-aid you keep covering the subject up with, you give yourself a chance to do something about it.

Don't think you're wearing a band-aid?

What is that smile you put on to hide the pain in your eyes?

What's up with the deep breath you take to put some joy in your voice?

If there isn’t a band-aid on there, why are you ashamed, scared, and anxious?

It’s ok, Sis. We see you, and your authentic smile is gorgeous.

This topic is sensitive, and we won’t ask for a comment.

Instead, check the link in our bio and schedule a complimentary consultation if you need a non-judgmental ear to listen to you.

You can also download the journal prompts in our bio as well and start writing your pain away.

We see you and we can't wait to see your real smile again.

Your mind accepts what you feed it.

Are you feeding yourself (1) luxury, (2) mediocrity, or (3) snacks?

Vulnerability requires sacrifice. ⁠
⁠
You have to be willing to sacrifice what you think you know about communicating and be willing to communicate authentically. ⁠
⁠
If you are holding back your feelings or that thing you did because you thought your relationship was on a "break," you aren't willing to put in the sacrifice to improve your communication and move the relationship forward. ⁠
⁠
Why build on a faulty foundation? Be honest and open up to your partner so you can grow from a place of authenticity together. ⁠
⁠
Hit us in the DMs if you want to be vulnerable and open up. We can help you find the right first step. ⁠

"I asked my husband/wife for attention and they ignored me so now, I'm ignoring them." Positive communication can't be built on negative actions. If you tell your partner you want attention, ask yourself what attention you want. Why do you want attention now? How can that attention be given to serve both of you? Gary Chapman wrote a book called "The 5 Love Languages" and in it, he identifies the 5 ways we all want to receive love. If your partner receives love through words of affirmation, but there is agitation in your voice, it won't resonate. If your partner wants quality time and you are trying to talk while washing the dishes, it won't resonate. Talk to them. Do you even know WHAT their love language is? If not, then that is your conversation for this evening. Look up the 5 love languages and improve your communication. Tell us your love language in the comments and we will give you some ideas on how to use it to improve your communication between each other. #thoughtfulthursday #selfcare #communication #anxiety #mindset #endthestigma #community #blackmentalhealth #selflove #relationships
