If this season feels uncomfortable, you might not be broken — you might be growing. This is your gentle reminder for the start of the week: growth is rarely painless, but it is meaningful. 🌱
Happy Thought of the Day
Just a gentle reminder:
You’re at your best when you’re mindful.
Take a breath. Feel your feet on the ground.
You don’t have to fix everything—just be here now. #mindfulness
May is Mental Health Awareness Month- but around here mental health is always in season. I celebrate w/ you the safe spaces - for overthinkers, the strong-but-tired, & the ones that are carrying ancestral wounds while showing up for others everyday. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
Messages like “suck it up”, “don’t cry”, don’t act like a girl”, “men don’t talk about feelings”, socialize males at an early age not to show emotion or vulnerability. Globally, 1 man dies from suicide every minute. I think it’s time that we talk about our feelings. #StopSuicide
If you are a survivor of coercive control & seeking therapy, I encourage you to INTERVIEW the therapist about THEIR experience & education in regards to trauma, DV, etc. DO NOT share your experience until you know they’re safe.
It's easy to feel discouraged by the big and small things that don't work out... but the only alternative to failing is to live a life half-full. Stay out of that comfort zone a little longer. #battletested#happythoughtsandstuff#MentalHealthMonth
Thank you to the @MarchofDimes Birth Equity Collaborative for letting me be a part of the conversation on maternal mental health, especially in underserved communities. Let's Build #HealthyMomsStrongBabies
It takes a lot of strength to make the changes we need for ourselves. Start small! Say that thing, take that break, ask that question, look that class up, write it out, schedule that appt... how can you commit to change? #happythoughtsallday#positivity#MentalHealthMonth
Had an incredible supporting and MCing at the screening event for #hushdocumentary on 5/5/23, where I had the pleasure of meeting @AntwonLindsey_ , a talented Miami-based director who's committed to showcasing #blackmentalhealth on the big screen. A life changing movie!
Take a break from scrolling and allow yourself to breathe in. I know you hear that all the time, but take just a second. How was that for you? #mindfulnessmoment#happythoughts#Positivity
It's be hard to extend the benefit of the doubt to others, especially nowadays. However it's important to offer people in our lives the chance to prove themselves and show their good intentions - with boundaries. What does that look like for u?
