Today is World Mental Health Day, let’s remember that taking care of ourselves is not a luxury—it’s a necessity!
Today reminds us how important it is to take care of ourselves, both inside and out. Prioritizing our mental health means listening to what we need and giving ourselves space to rest, reflect, and heal.
It’s not always easy, but each small step toward well-being makes a difference. Remember, taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
Sending lots of love and positive vibes your way! Tell me how your feeling ⬇️

Happy Sunday beautiful people!! Today I present you with a lovely message from Shaylah Monique, owner of @thesoulfulsymmetry on honoring yourself!
Although many of us struggle with honoring ourselves & our true emotions, honoring yourself is crucial for fostering self-respect and maintaining a healthy sense of self-worth.
Here are some key ways you can begin honoring yourself:
✨ Having a good selfcare routine
A practical self-care routine for honoring yourself might include daily mindfulness practices, regular physical activity, setting aside time for hobbies, and ensuring adequate rest and relaxation.
✨Setting boundaries with yourself & others
Honoring yourself by setting boundaries involves clearly defining and communicating your limits to protect your emotional well-being and maintain healthy relationships.
✨Pursuing your passions
Taking the time too pursue your passions means dedicating time and energy to the activities that ignite your enthusiasm and bring you joy, ultimately enriching your life with purpose and fulfillment.
By honoring yourself, you affirm your value, enabling you to lead a more balanced, fulfilling, and authentic life. You got this!!

Thank you gabunion for sharing your story with us & for showing that vulnerability is our greatest superpower💙
No matter the passage of time, the scars of trauma can linger, resurfacing at unexpected moments, reminding survivors of our pain. It’s crucial to extend empathy and grace, understanding that healing is a nonlinear journey.
I encourage you all to continue educating yourself on the complexities of trauma survival, creating safe spaces for survivors & validating other survivors’ experiences.
To other survivors who’ve weathered the storm of trauma, continue to turn your pain into power as it’s an act of resilience in reclaiming control over your narrative and transforming adversity into strength.

“A survivor is someone who overcomes significant challenges, adversity, or hardship with resilience, determination, and grace. They show courage, adaptability, and perseverance in the face of difficult circumstances.”
Through my journey, I’ve endured trials that tested my strength & Faith. Each obstacle I’ve faced has shaped me into the person I am today, resulting in an unbreakable strength within me.
As I embrace my full phoenix risen from the ashes of my trauma, I see the significance of my journey in a new light. It’s not just about survival; it’s about thriving despite the odds stacked against me. I’ve fully transformed my scars into strength, and my setbacks into stepping stones toward greatness & I will continue to stand tall, unafraid to embrace my past, knowing that it has sculpted me into a beacon of hope and the Woman I am today!
To my fellow survivors, Remember, every obstacle you’ve faced has only made you stronger. Keep pressing forward, for your story is a beacon of hope for others navigating their own path to healing and triumph💙

For me, learning that forgiveness is always for me first was a huge realization on my healing journey. Initially, I struggled greatly, feeling it was unfair to forgive someone who had caused me such horrible pain and trauma. However, as I delved deeper into my healing and therapy, I understood that holding onto anger and resentment only perpetuated my suffering.
Forgiveness symbolizes a radical act of self-love and liberation. As I began to forgive the individual who sexually abused me for years, I began to release the suppression of my voice and stored up emotions and feelings. This freedom allowed me to reclaim my power and embrace the healing process bravely.
By forgiving my abuser, I wasn’t condoning the abuse; I was choosing to prioritize my own well-being and growth. It was through forgiveness that I could finally let go of the weight that had been shackling me down for years and step into a future filled with healing and limitless possibilities.
To any other survivors that come across this and may not have reached this point in your journey, that’s okay and no rush! I’m here for you and support you. Together, we will continue to break the silence and take our power back!

Baltimore Strong💜🖤
Thank you to everyone that sent messages to check on my family and I today as we are all safe, but please continue to pray for my city Baltimore during this time.

Don’t forget to check out this weeks episode with the Virgo bestie Jess and the host of “ @the_jawn_podcast” Shellih and Jenina where we delved into the conversation on the perception of black women in the media as well as the effects of generational trauma in the black community.
Conversations as such shines light on systemic barriers to healing, such as limited access to mental health resources, socioeconomic disparities, and stigma surrounding mental health issues within the Black community.
This paves the way for advocacy efforts and community-driven initiatives aimed at dismantling these obstacles and promoting holistic well-being.

“I’m the bag of peace, love and prosperity you’re going to wish you never fumbled!”
On my healing journey, I’ve learned that fully embracing your true self is a journey that brings you inner peace that’s indescribable. It involves accepting every aspect of who you are, including your flaws and strengths, with love and compassion.
Stepping into my higher self has allowed me to embody love, grace, and peace, not only towards myself but also towards others. It required me to let go of past grievances and embrace forgiveness, while allowing myself to move forward with a lighter heart and a clearer mind.
Wherever you are on your healing journey, remember that healing is not a linear process, and each step you take, no matter how small, is significant. Embracing your true self is a courageous act of self-love and self-acceptance that leads to growth.
Trust in your journey!! Be patient with yourself and know that you are worthy of love and belonging exactly as you are💙
