Navigating work and life gracefully takes time and patience. Here are the takeaways from our last event:

New month, new growth! We wrote about welcoming this new season with grace. Did you know this month represents depression and world mental health month? The key thing to note about depression is that mood, sleep, appetite, concentration, cognition, and other disturbances are all related to depression, and knowing this is a relief because sometimes people think you can just snap out of it. Show compassion to your friends and family who may express feelings of depression and/or anxiety, because we can serve as a voice of reason & beacon of hope that really helps them get through it. Other things we’ve learned from past events:
It’s also breast cancer awareness, and there’s new research showing women should get checked before 40 years old. See below for some interesting articles to check out about these topics:
We talk so much about having success in our careers, but what about our health or other aspects of our lives more broadly? In honor of PCOS Awareness Month, I’d like share my story of success in this department after struggling for decades. I suffered for years not realizing birth control pills, a poor diet, and lack of resources (at the time) were worsening my health. It wasn’t until my late 20s/ early 30s that I began to find support, get an actual diagnosis after seeing over 20 doctors, and identify alternative resources after finding holistic nutritionists who knew what they were talking about (hi Joy @joyoushealth! Hey @holisticvanity). They helped me fix my diet and adopt certain habits like substituting coconut sugar for cane sugar, drinking lemon water in the mornings, avoiding coffee on an empty stomach, and walking outside daily to manage my hormones. I also started cooking more which has helped my spirit and overall health! Being able to see the results after years of putting in my work has helped me continue to push through and find success with my health – such an exhilarating feeling! These changes also allowed me to get pregnant and give birth to my daughter, Hazel, even though I didn’t think my body could carry it out after all it’s been through. God is good! So, if you’re struggling with your hormones, a pre-existing condition, or health in general, know you are not alone. Please know there’s light at the end of the tunnel. You’ll need to put in the work, find the right support system and doctors, but it is possible! Believe that. I’m a testament to this!
