My Aunt Roma, 85 years old, spends most of her days caring for her husband with such quiet strength. She shared with me during a recent visit, “Some days he looks at me to make it better, to take the pain away, because I always have.” Her heart breaks knowing she can’t take away his illness, yet still — she rises each morning, chooses love, and does her small part of good even when weary.

Right now, the world feels chaotic and uncertain. But her life reminds me that we don’t have to look outward to find hope. Sometimes the reminders of love and goodness are right here — in familiar places, in the eyes of our loved ones, in the daily acts of care that keep us grounded.

Love you Auntie Roma! 🫶🏽

No one talks about the anxiety that hides behind "I’m just tired." It’s the exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix, the constant tension that lingers even in stillness. Anxiety can often show up in subtle ways that we may not even recognize, like overthinking every text or feeling restless even when you’re supposed to be resting.

If this sounds familiar, it might be time to take a closer look at what’s really going on beneath the surface. Feeling constantly drained, restless, or on edge could be signs that anxiety is taking a toll on your mental well-being. The key is recognizing these signs before they start to take over.

Pay attention to your body’s signals and take small steps to check in with yourself. Practices like deep breathing, journaling, or just taking a moment to pause can help. Most importantly, remember that it’s okay to not be okay and asking for help is a powerful step towards healing.

You don't have to wait for things to get worse before you reach out for help. Even a short conversation can bring clarity and relief. 🤍

Ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world but no one sees how tired you really are? 🤯

If you’re constantly running on empty, juggling work, family, and expectations, but still expected to be “strong,” you’re not alone. Emotional exhaustion is real, and for many women of color, it’s a quiet battle no one talks about.

This kind of exhaustion goes beyond physical tiredness. It’s emotional, mental, and spiritual. It comes from carrying burdens that no one talks about but everyone expects you to bear. The pain of feeling unseen, unheard, and unsupported adds to the weight you carry.

Healing begins with recognizing this struggle is real and valid. It’s okay to admit you’re tired. It’s okay to need rest and support. You don’t have to do this alone.

If this speaks to you, take a moment to breathe and consider reaching out. Sometimes just sharing your story with someone who understands can be the first step toward reclaiming your peace.

🫶 Reminder: Instagram isn’t therapy.

If you think self-awareness is just ‘knowing yourself,’ read this.

Most people treat it like a personality test: identify your strengths, name a few flaws, maybe write a journal entry and call it growth.
But true self-awareness is a daily practice of noticing what’s happening inside you while it’s happening.

When you catch the tension in your chest before it becomes a sharp word.
When you pause and question the story you’re telling yourself about why someone hasn’t replied.
When you recognize how your presence, your tone, even your silence shifts the energy in the room.

This isn’t abstract. Research shows that moment-to-moment awareness lowers stress, improves relationships, and helps you respond instead of react.

Start small:

• One body check-in. Before the day ends, name a single sensation or feeling you notice.
• One value-aligned action. Choose something today that reflects what truly matters to you, not what’s easiest.
• One open ear. When someone offers feedback, listen all the way through even when it stings. Insight often hides there.

You don’t need a perfect routine or a ten page journal spread.
You just need the willingness to pause, look inward with honesty and compassion, and let those small observations shape your next move.

Self-awareness grows exactly like this: one breath, one choice, one honest moment at a time.

Take care of your mind.
Take care of the impact you have on others.
