  • Why Am I So Tired?!
    Dec 13 2023

    As a black woman over 40, you might find yourself feeling more tired than before, and one significant reason for this fatigue can be attributed to changes happening within your body.


    During this stage of life, hormonal shifts, such as in menopause, can lead to sleep disturbances, depression, and mood swings, all of which can contribute to feelings of exhaustion. Additionally, age-related changes like decreased muscle mass and metabolism can result in reduced energy levels. Understanding these is essential in managing and addressing the tiredness that midlife Black women may experience.

     

    In this episode, I share four reasons why you could be tired as a midlife Black woman. I talk about decision clutter, hormonal imbalance, dehydration, and too much clutter, period. I also share some things you could do to avoid being tired. Tune in to learn more about this and other exciting topics.

  • What to do when you have to start over
    Nov 26 2023

    Starting over represents the profound and transformative moment when we step away from the familiar and embrace the unknown with hope and determination.


    These junctures are the chapters where we reinvent ourselves, whether by choice or circumstance, allowing us to break free from the constraints of the past and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Like the first rays of dawn, new beginnings illuminate the path ahead, offering the promise of endless possibilities and the chance to create a brighter, more fulfilling future.

    In this episode, I am joined by Hakim Taliaferro, a speaker, author, and the Founder of The Taliaferro, a company that creates lasting memories through fragrances that transcend trends and generations, to share the strategies for getting into new beginnings and seasons in your life so that you can learn and grow.


    Hakim talks about knowing your location, recognizing the people around you and the impact they have on your new beginning, and the importance of a strong relationship with God in your new beginnings. Tune in to learn more about this and other exciting topics!


    Timestamps [02:24] #1 Knowing your location [06:09] Getting the clarity of where you are in life [09:00] How your environment plays a part in knowing your location [11:20] Looking at your location through the eyes of the Lord [12:17] #2 Recognizing the people around you and the impact they have on your new beginning [18:29] The importance of a strong relationship with God in your new beginnings [21:17] #3 Being in a place to learn, give and receive [26:32] The Bible verse that summarises everything about new beginnings


    Notable quotes:


    ●      “You have to know where you are to get to where you want to go.”

    ●      “If you are a believer, one of the ways of knowing who you are is by studying the scripture, meditating, and spending time with people who have the same train of thought.”

    ●      “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

    ●      “If you look at your season from God’s perspective, it will look different. It will be illuminated, there will be light, and you will be able to see clearly where you are.”

    ●      “Relationships do influence our progress. We can’t get into a new season by ourselves.”

    ●      “It’s the Lord who leads and guides. When you understand how much He loves you and understands you, you will become more protective of whom you spend time with.”
