March is an important month for women. It serves as Women’s History Month, while March 8th is International Women’s Day. This day represents women everywhere and how they have meaningfully impacted the world in so many ways. The first celebration of this day was in 1909 and after that, the International Socialist Women's Conference suggested one be held annually. As this day becomes more prevalent in society, women-owned companies have slid to the forefront of the media. Did you know 58% more businesses are women-owned than in 2007? We are embracing female empowerment more than ever in 2019. Read along to hear more stories of amazing companies run by powerful women! True&Co. Michelle Lam is the CEO of True&Co.; an online women’s lingerie company who help women find...

Eat Healthy, Look Good, Strong Mind

Goal Setting Vs. Adopting A System As an entrepreneur, I have set many goals for myself, my business, my family, my finances, my love life, and so on. Before I was an entrepreneur, I set many goals for myself, my health, my love life, my finances, my family and so on. The point that I am making here is that my whole life has been managed, driven, and determined by goals I did or did not achieve. And the funniest part about it all is that once I achieved my goals, they were done. I had nothing else to look forward to besides another goal which would soon be complete or not completed for the moment. I have personally been blessed with a tremendous amount of mentors...

Say it with me! "CLEAR the CLUTTER" Clearing the clutter in our life is vital for the transformation of any kind. Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to get married? Do you want to get into a romantic relationship? Do you want to get a better job? Whatever it is that you want to do this is the first step to set up a strong foundation for success. In my practice, clearing the clutter is one of the first three action steps I give my clients to start their weight loss journey. There are three particular areas in our life that get to be cleared: physical environment, schedule, and relationships. I want to break each of these down separately. Your Step-by-step guide to clear the...

Before You Take Another Bite Understand the Hunger and Fullness Scale!

Have you ever been at the table and had to lean back and unbutton your pants after a meal? Or have you ever been sooooo hungry that they could eat a horse and cuss someone at the same time? Well, you are not alone. And it is not your fault, but I am sure you would love a tool that you can use to avoid these two extremes altogether. First, let me start with The Hunger Scale. This scale like many is from 1-10 and there are a couple of markers that I want to point out, but first I want to discuss how this will benefit you. One benefit of utilizing The Hunger Scale is refraining from emotional/stress eating. Many of us eat when we...

Top 10 Effect of Stress Among Women of Color

Although, I know for a fact that none of the readers of this blog are stressed….. I want to discuss it so you can maybe pass the information on to a friend or family member :). When it comes to stress, I believe the most important part to point out is that it is not our fault that we are stressed! Truly, I do not believe it is our fault. We live in a fast paced world, we have kids, husbands/wives, full-time STRESSFUL jobs, sports, and more. What I do believe is that we have a responsibility to manage ourselves in a way that allows us to minimize stress. I said minimize because realistically stress will never go away and that’s okay because of not...

The Importance of Self Care for Women

When I looked up 'woman' in the dictionary, I was partly surprised at what I read. One definition says “a female person who cleans house, cooks, etc.: housekeeper.” I do not know how this makes you feel like a woman, but I know that my feminine power goes deeper and wider than just cleaning and cooking. Yes, we are caretakers, comforters, and nurturers. However,   we are also the bearers of the world and all of its beauty. Our feminine energy is harnessed by Mother Nature herself. As she cares for the animals and plants, we care for all mankind.  But what about self-care? When do we allow ourselves to be cared for, loved, manicured, massaged, and acknowledged? When do we love ourselves enough to care...

How many of us focus on when to eat? No many rights? The focus and pressure have always been put on what to eat and that is important as well, but what if when we eat is just as important? When considering when to eat, intermittent fasting is becoming more and more popular and for a great reason. Intermittent fasting is the voluntary act of withholding from food, therefore, it is something you must mentally accept before you physically succeed. Please believe me when I say that it IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK.  Intermittent fasting is one of the answers to the question “When do I eat?”, which not many people ask. Meal timing is important to consider for a much different reason including reversing insulin resistance, emotional...

Get In A Morning Flow With A Morning Routine

Mornings are usually associated with low energy, grogginess and a lot of coffee. When we wake up, we are so focused on our efforts to make ourselves look presentable, but what if woke up with a purpose and a plan? What kind of shift could we make in our day if we were intentional about how we started it? I started incorporating a morning routine earlier this year, and at first, it was hard to commit to. I either wouldn’t wake up on time, or I would only do it for a day or two. Then I made another outline as if the routine itself was the problem, and the same thing happened. This happened about 4 times.  Possibly this has also happened to you,...

What is the true definition of Motivation?

Mo·ti·va·tion the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. When Monday morning hits -  you probably thought “ I don’t want to do this, I just want to stay in bed, with the cover pulled over my face and pass the day away.” As you did, so did many others, even myself. Now we can all do that, and watch as the day goes by while we laid in bed unproductive from sunrise to sunset, but then what. What fulfillment would that give you, what will you have accomplished, in what way did you grow? But you already know that. So you get up anyway, brush your teeth, put on clothes, and you’re out the door. But, the question is not about...
