Yesterday was a reminder of why I do this work.
I had the honor of facilitating my Pouring from a Full Cup: The Self-Care Mindset for Black Women workshop for the women of my church, and it was so beautiful!
We laughed. We reflected. We shared. We challenged some old beliefs.
We talked about the unique ways Black women are often taught to keep pouring even when our cups are empty. We explored the impact of chronic stress on our minds, bodies, and spirits. We discussed boundaries, support systems, affirmations, rest, and the importance of developing a self-care mindset—not as a luxury, but as a way of life.
Most importantly, we talked about how God's Eord supports self-care. The reminder that self-care is not selfish; it's stewardship.
God never called us to live depleted. He calls us to rest. He calls us to set healthy boundaries. He calls us to care for what He has entrusted to us—our minds, our bodies, our spirits, and our purpose.
One woman shared something that touched my heart. She told me, "I had four events to go to today, and I canceled all the rest because I knew I needed to be here. And I was right. I needed to hear and experience all of this."
Moments like that remind me that when God gives us an assignment, He already knows who needs what He placed inside of us.
I am so grateful that God continues to allow me to be a part of His work. Every workshop, every conversation, every breakthrough reminds me that helping people become healthy, happy, and whole is not just what I do—it's part of who I am and what I've been called to do.
My cup is full today!
