Promoting healthy masculinity is my life's work. And I have always been inspired by Movember Their narrative work is, by far, the best in the field of masculinity. This spot is absolutely perfect. - The tone ✅ - The copy ✅ - The message ✅ --- Here's a snapshot of the manifesto from their youtube channel: "Men’s health impacts us all. Because we all have fathers, brothers, sons, partners, and friends whom we love. When these men are unwell and unsupported, we all feel it. But when they’re well, the benefits ripple through relationships, families and communities." --- ✍️ How do you support men's health? --- #Menshealth #Masculinity

This Mother's Day, let's pivot towards a new tradition – welcome to Soulful Sunday 🌸. A celebration not just of love, but of holistic health, encapsulating both mental and physical well-being. Imagine gifting the women in our lives something beyond the material; imagine championing their wellness journey. That, my friends, is the essence of real empowerment. #MothersDayMagic #SoulfulSunday #HealthIsWealth #NurtureWithNature 🍃 Embrace this opportunity to redefine celebration – making it not just about flowers and cards, but about nurturing, love, and most importantly, health. Let's revolutionize how we honor mothers, making Soulful Sunday a testament to the profound love we hold for them. Here's to a Mother's Day that goes beyond the traditional, fostering a culture of well-being and heartfelt care. 🎉 Let’s make this shift together; because when we empower our mothers, we empower generations.

Escape the clichés of bubble baths and candles! 💪🏼 Elevate your self-care game with unconventional practices that align with your hustling lifestyle. It's all about finding balance and empowerment. #ProfessionalMillennial #SelfCareRevolution https://lnkd.in/e4FJ6Dqz

Wellness Wednesday: Surviving Trauma A strong Black woman is a cultural icon. But when Black women cling to that image rather than acknowledging and addressing the stress and trauma that so many have experienced; they may experience mental and physical health issues. BW4HL is dedicated to helping Black Women to confront and address their pain and suffering, and learn tools for coping. An estimated eight out of 10 Black women have experienced some form of trauma. Black women often endure — intergenerational trauma, childhood trauma, abusive relationships, health trauma and pregnancy trauma. Rather than maintaining the cultural expectation of being strong, which can lead to anxiety, depression, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and more. BW4HL is encouraging Black women to understand how their life experiences have impacted them. We want to educate Black Women on how to adopt practices for body and mind health. Many Black Women wear the badge of "Strong Black Woman" with honor. It is such a deeply embedded way of life, we often don’t know any other way to be. It is our hustle, grit and ability to get things done. It is our fierce love for friends, family and community — often at the sacrifice of our own needs. It is our deep faithfulness and ability to get right back on our feet no matter how many times we are knocked down. It is our ability to hold our head up high and eagerly accept the challenge whenever anybody questions our talents or capabilities. It is pushing down the pain and putting on a smile no matter what we’ve been through. BW4HL is committed to advocating,educating, encouraging and empowering Black Women to talk about Self-love and Healing. We invite other Black Women to join in Sisterhood movement to help improve the Health and Well-being of Black Women in Our Community. Please visit our website www.bw4hl.org for more information on upcoming events and activities or contact us at info@bw4hl.org or 515-219-4300. #BW4HL #MySistersKeeper #SELFLOVE2022 #weareinthistogether

In the intricate dance of life, we often find ourselves wearing numerous hats - caregivers, professionals, friends, and partners - gracefully navigating through the myriad responsibilities that come our way. Yet, in the midst of this whirlwind, the concept of self-care seems to be an elusive oasis, shimmering on the horizon for us, but often out of reach. It's not that we as women don't recognize the importance of self-care; in fact, the desire to nurture and care for others often stems from an innate sense of compassion and empathy. However, there's a widely held notion that women, in their admirable pursuit of balancing countless roles, tend to put their well-being on the back burner. Today I dive into 5 things holding us back from prioritizing us... societal expectations, personal narratives, and cultural influences that contribute to this perceived struggle of self-care. Navigating these challenges I share today is an integral part of your self-care journey, and developing strategies to overcome these obstacles can significantly enhance your overall well-being and quality of life.
