On today’s episode, I’m reflecting on the power of reflection. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror recently? I mean really taken a hard look at yourself, inside and out. Well I did recently and I share what I learned. Reflection is a powerful tool. Both in the external (physical) and internal (mind) reflection can play a critical role in our continuing care for ourselves. As you listen, take a moment to reflect on how the last time you looked in the mirror? What did you see? What changes did you make as a result?

In today’s episode, I’m following up on my goals with the promised midyear update. I share where I am, what’s going well, and where I may need to make a few adjustments. One of the most valuable parts of goal setting isn’t just writing down your goals—it’s taking time to revisit them. Sometimes you celebrate progress, sometimes you pivot, and sometimes you realize your priorities have shifted. For me, this process is both refreshing and motivating.As you listen, take a moment to reflect: When was the last time you revisited your goals? What progress have you made, and where might you need to adjust your plans to finish the year with intention?Looking for a coach?? Would love to explore working with you! Connect with ME!

We sat down with Dr. Raé Lundy, Mrs. Shamyra Parker Evans, and Mrs. Naheemah McMiccheaux McCallop, the founders of SIS!
We are SIS (Sisters-In-Self-care), a collective of three industry leaders impacting the wellness + self-care space for Black Women & WOC executives and affinity groups. We value diversity, well-being, and inclusion. We understand navigating life, work, and family in a pandemic is challenging, further we understand prioritizing self-care in the midst of these is even more challenging. SIS provides safe space for women leaders to address self-care as an integral part of wellbeing. As Audre Lourde, states, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation." With a combined experience of over 20 years supporting companies, educational institutions, and individuals integrating self-care as a vehicle for their wholeness revolution. Together, we are daring to disrupt toxic burnout culture and shift the narrative of wellness.
