Daytreat: Trap Yoga & Herbs Talk Recap

Our Daytreat was a hit! Thank you Asia Nichole Jones, creator and originator of Trap Yoga, for helping us move our bodies with the sound of dope music and Ashley Flores, founder of Four Flowers Wellness for teaching us so much about herbal medicine and allowing us to smell, touch, taste, and bring some herbs home! Shout out to Mia and Rachel for sharing your remarkable stories with humor and grace! Special love and hugs to everyone who came out! We hope our Daytreat filled your cup; here’s what we learned:

  1. Yoga is about self-awareness and experimentation with your body. It’s healing!
  2. Trap Yoga is about doing the work of yoga while listening to your favorite playlist. It’s also about accessibility to all. Thanks for breaking it down for us, Asia! Asia’s playlist was fire, so we’re sharing it on Spotify and Apple music. Enjoy!
  3. Some comments I heard after yoga: “Some of my bones are cracking…in a good way,” “That was really relaxing,” “I loved the incense on my hands at the end,” “There was so much laughter during that sesh!” “I thought we were going to have to twerk, haha” (heard from a few lol). You can practice with Asia at Growing Boundlessly! 
  4. Next, we talked to Ashley about her journey with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and how it impacted her well-being and fertility. She saw many doctors who weren’t helpful, so she decided to empower and educate herself on natural remedies which led her to acupuncture and herbal medicine. She later founded her own company, Four Flowers Wellness, where she offers acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, fertility and prenatal care, and treatments for complex pain or hormonal conditions, and other issues like insomnia, anxiety, and depression.
  5. Herbs that are helpful for your hormonal health include raspberry leaf (an ideal base herb for menstrual irregularities and hormonal balance), Nettle leaf (balances blood sugar and promotes metabolic health, reduces inflammation in the urinary tract and reduces swelling), chamomile blossom (powerfully reduces both physical and emotional symptoms of PMS and reduces heavy bleeding). You can download the free guide here. For the tea, hormone balancing recipes and more, you can buy it here. Use code: Daytreat for 20% off!
  6. Other gems shared from Mia and Rachel, who have dealt with their own hormonal challenges, included the observation that it takes a long time to find the right doctor who understands your issues, but don’t lose hope!
  7. Get an annual exam to stay on top of your health
  8. Find a doctor who sees you. If you don’t like your doctor, find someone else.
  9. Do your research and advocate for yourself!
  10. Take care of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually! 

Flower Girls Celebrates 9 Years!

March is a special month for Flower Girls because it commemorates when it all began. It’s been exactly 9 years! We couldn’t be happier with how much we’ve grown over the years. We are not only doing community events, but making our mark in the corporate world and the school system too! In celebration, we’re sharing 9 things we’ve learned in 9 years of cultivating space for authentic conversations about work, our mental health, womanhood, and overall well-being.

1. Your mental health and well-being are more important than other people’s opinion of you.
2. You are not your job, trauma or struggles. You are a human being who deserves to be seen and heard.
3. Talking to people about what you’re going through is healing.
4. Therapists are a godsend and deserve all of the flowers.
5. Finding the right doctor, therapist or any healthcare professional takes time, research and patience.
6. Your voice matters, your opinion counts, and you will find people who see you if you share your story.
7. Like-minded people love coming together to share a laugh and learn new things.
8. Community and connection are the answer to a lot of our problems.
9. We don’t have to know the answers to everything we’re going through. We just need to be willing to do the work and try new things that will improve our well-being.

We can’t wait to see what’s next! Thank you for being here.
