Because women who carry it all need a place to exhale, I created Soul Care Circles, a supportive space for women balancing work, entrepreneurship, family, leadership, and faith to step out of the noise and into connection. These circles aren’t about adding to your plate; they’re about giving you space to breathe, connect, and draw strength in community.
..and if I can be honest, life won’t slow down just because you’re carrying more, but you don’t have to carry it alone. Soul Care Circles are therapist-led small groups (just 8 women per circle) designed to be a safe space to exhale, connect, and be renewed.

Inside each circle, you’ll:
✔ Share openly without judgment
✔ Learn practical tools to manage stress and set boundaries
✔ Build resilience alongside women who truly get it

This isn’t therapy, it’s added support for women navigating high-impact roles. And when you join, you’ll also receive a complimentary copy of my newest eBook, Under the Weight of It All.

Spots are limited for the fall cohort.

Some signs don’t scream—they whisper.

They hide in plain sight. They blend into your daily rhythm until exhaustion becomes normal and depletion becomes your baseline.

Let’s talk about it.

Constant fatigue masked as “grind”
→ You don’t just need more sleep—you need to stop performing strength for people who wouldn’t know you’re tired unless you broke.

Irritability labeled as “leadership edge”
→ Snapping isn’t strategy. It’s often unspoken grief, resentment, or exhaustion pretending to be focus.

Isolation disguised as “focus”
→ You say you’re just “locked in” … but when was the last time someone really saw you without your cape?

Numbness mistaken for “strength”
→ You’re not detached—you’re just tired of holding it all. Emotional flatlines aren’t peace. They’re quiet survival.

🧠 These aren’t just personality quirks. They’re signs your nervous system is maxed out.

You’re not just tired—you’re carrying too much.

05/01/2025

Leadership will stretch you. Ministry will test you. Life will demand from you.

But what happens when the weight you’re carrying becomes invisible—even to you?

Sometimes, it’s not just emotional weight—it’s metabolic.
Your body starts holding on just like your soul does—tight, tense, and in survival mode.

That unshakable fatigue?
That stubborn scale?
That brain fog, irritability, or low-grade exhaustion?
It’s not laziness. It’s a body that's been leading too long without rest.

When “pushing through” becomes your baseline, your system adapts by conserving.

It stops releasing. Stops digesting. Stops trusting.
Because it thinks you’re in danger—even if you're smiling through the day.

🧠 Mental health isn’t just emotional. It’s hormonal. It’s physical. It’s spiritual.

Healing starts when you stop proving and start listening—to what your body and mind are trying to say.

✨ You’re carrying too much when survival feels normal.
And you were never meant to lead from a place of depletion.

Happy Birthday, La Tanya!!

If it costs your mental health, it’s too expensive.

That opportunity?
That relationship?
That schedule?
That “yes” you said out of guilt?

Every time you override your internal warning signs, you teach your nervous system that survival is the norm—and peace is a luxury.

Let’s be clear:
Being overwhelmed doesn’t prove you're obedient.
Excellence isn’t exhaustion.
And boundaries are not rebellion—they’re stewardship.

Your mind is not a dumping ground.
Your body is not a machine.
Your spirit is not disposable.

Protect your peace like your future depends on it—because sometimes, it actually does.

|| Stop Chasing Goals. Set Standards.||

Everyone’s talking about goals—what’s next, what’s new, what’s next-level. But truth be told,

Goals don’t build legacy. Standards do!!

Anyone can set a goal. You hit a number. Reach a milestone. Cross the finish line.

But standards? Standards shape how you show up while you’re getting there.

John Maxwell said,
“If we give our best for our people, how much more should we pursue excellence with God?”

That statement? It’s not about performance. It’s about posture.
It’s about how you lead when no one’s clapping. How you move when no one’s watching. 👀

Here’s the difference:

👉 Goals tell me what you want.
👉 Standards tell me what you value.

You can hit every target and still carry a spirit of inconsistency. You can get the job done and still miss the moment to lead well.🤷‍♀️

Standards are what remain when the meeting ends.
They follow you into hard conversations.
They speak when your voice is silent.

And whether you lead in ministry, business, or both—if you don’t carry a standard, you’ll end up adjusting to whatever’s convenient.

So here’s your reminder:
Stop chasing applause. Stop over-celebrating outcomes.

Raise your standard.
Hold your posture.
Let your leadership speak without saying a word.💪

|| Why the Wait is Still Part of the Work ||
www.authenticperspectivescc.com
---
Most leadership conversations highlight visibility, productivity, and momentum. But what happens when you’ve done the inner work… and the doors still don’t open?

You’ve prepared.
You’ve prayed.
You’ve shown up—faithful, focused, and clear.
But nothing is moving.

That kind of delay doesn’t just interrupt your timeline—it touches your identity.
It forces you to sit with honest questions like:

“Am I being overlooked?”
“Why is everyone else advancing?”
“Is this delay exposing something in me?”

As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Leadership Advisor, I’ve walked with countless women in business and ministry who carry both calling and capacity, but who silently battle the weight of deferred timing.

Here’s what I’ve learned—for myself and for them:
God’s delay isn’t about punishment. It’s about preservation.

It’s not just about you being ready. It’s about the room being right.
It’s about the people, the place, and the timing aligning together—so that what you carry won’t be crushed by what’s meant to crown you.

David was still king in the field.
Joseph was still favored in prison.
Development was happening—even in the silence.

Real leadership isn’t built on applause.
It’s shaped in the quiet.
It’s refined in the waiting.
It’s solidified in the places no one sees but God.

So if your pace has slowed—or the platform still hasn’t come—please hear me:

You are not behind.
You are not invisible.
You are not disqualified.

You’re being trusted with a process that doesn’t just build performance—it builds endurance.

Stay grounded.
Stay honest.
And above all—stay faithful.

Because in the waiting, in the quiet, and in the hidden places—mindset is everything.
