Hey sis, if you’re transitioning to a new phase or opportunity within your life, understand stress is to be expected even if it’s a positive or planned transition. You got this ❤️
Hey sis, if you’re not asking for help or allowing others to help you, this is a form of self-sabotaging. If you have a circle who genuinely wants to help you, it’s okay to accept their love.
Hey sis, if you need to calm your nervous system, here are a few things you can do: splash cold water on your face or take a cold shower, gargle, spend time outside, laugh, or spend time with people you love. We look forward to you hanging up your cape & making time for yourself.
Hey sis, have you ever wondered why it's difficult for you to ask for help? Somewhere in early life, you were made to feel you were wrong or being too difficult for asking for things. We're here to encourage you to ask & understand it's 100% okay to do so.
We are deeply grateful to be featured as a resource in

Hey sis, before you end the night, please remember you have permission to exercise whatever boundaries you need to take care of yourself mentally and physically.
Hey sis, have you been giving yourself enough credit lately? Don’t just reflect on where you want to go, pay attention to what got you here as well. You are not one large home improvement project, you are great as you are.
Hey sis, if you're connecting w/ friends tonight & you want to discuss things other than misery, shift the conversation w/ a check-in question. Ask them a positive question such as, “Tell me about the most magical part of your week so far.”

Hey sis, how are you navigating social events this month? If you don’t have the bandwidth to go, simply don’t go. If you do choose to engage, set a time limit. Show your face for 30-60 minutes & then make your way out. Be sure to set boundaries & take care of yourself.
If you’re feeling disappointed because a friend didn’t show up for you in a way you expected, don’t make assumptions about what this means. Take time to check in with them about it.

How's the career hunt going, sis? When transitioning to a new career, remind yourself frequently that it can be a journey & may take longer than you expected. Also, do your best not to internalize any rejections. You got this ❤️
A loving reminder to do what you need to do to take care of yourself today. Disengage if you need to. Remember to breathe. Lean on your support system. Cry it out. Scream if you have to. All of it is valid.
Hey sis, if you or someone you know are grieving a loved one, remember, it’s okay to coast. This may not be the highest peak of motivation or energy and that’s okay. Also, there’s no timeline for grief. Take all the time needed.
Hey sis, if you think you’re a burden to others, slow yourself down and recognize that this is likely an inaccurate story created from a place of fear.
Hey sis, here's a gentle reminder to normalize the idea of mistakes. Remember, mistakes & differences of opinion are bound to happen. Mistakes are part of the fabric of being human. If you made a mistake this week, it's okay 💛
Hey Sis, if you’re looking to calm your nervous system today, spend time with people you love, & if this isn’t an option, watch your favorite movie for a good laugh. Also taking a walk around the block can help ease any anxious thoughts you may have. You got this!
Joy is your birthright. Find it in your everyday routine, plan it into your schedule, claim it, and own it. We love to see Black women affirming their wants and needs 💛
If you have a loved one who may be depressed, offer to sit in silence with them. If you have the capacity, drop off or have food delivered to them. Gestures like these could possibly give them the reassurance you actually want to be there for them.

As you begin your work week, here's a gentle reminder to take your lunch away from your desk. If possible, it may also be beneficial to your mind to have lunch away from your co-workers so you can have time to rest & have a personal check-in.
Help A Sister Out: I recently realized I lost my confidence, not sure where I left it, who took it, but I want it back! How can I rebuild the best part of my personality?

We’re looking for an outstanding Executive Assistant and Social Media Manager to join our team! Please apply and share with others who may be interested.
Hey sis, if you want to get a little better at being vulnerable, make an assessment about who you’re being vulnerable with. Vulnerability is not just telling all of your business to whoever will listen. Also remember some level of rejection & hurt is a part of the process.
If you're seeking a new career in 2024, here's a gentle reminder to tell yourself it can be a journey & may take a little longer than you expected. Also, do your best not to internalize any rejections. You got this, sis 💛
We are undoubtedly in for a hellacious week in terms of the news cycle, please make sure to take care of yourself. Here are some tips that might help. Please share!
Take a moment to check-in with yourself. Relax your toes. Relax your brows. Relax your shoulders. Unclench your jaw.
Take the deepest breath you took all day.
Hey sis, if you’re looking for your therapist this weekend, make sure your therapist has training in whatever brings you into therapy. They may have a great personality but they may not have the training related to what you are concerned with. We’re rooting for you!
Hey sis, here's a gentle reminder setting boundaries is a form of self-care. Boundaries allow us to prioritize our needs/wants in relationships in a healthy way.
Hey sis, if you're looking to have a healthier relationship w/ social media this week, unfollow any pages that make you feel less than great about yourself. Also, if needed, set a timer for when it's time to close the app so your time can be allocated in the areas best for you.
