Be kind to yourself! Life is hard enough...
I created the life that I wanted with a plan and hard work. I literally carry my journal in my bag. I know I could put it in my phone but I’m old school in that way! My mom always says write it down and make it plain! Not only am I making it plain but I’m also affirming to myself that what I’m writing will come to pass.
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I started TuShea Natural as an answer to expensive prescription creams that still didn’t moisturize my skin, left me smelling like a medicine cabinet, and filled with steroid. I created the product line so that people of all budgets who want an alternative for skin care can afford luxury all natural type bath and body products without breaking the bank. Helping people motivates me to keep going. I do this for Ms Jackie who uses TuShea Body Whip because it helps with arthritis pain and Ms Debbi who says that a little of our Body Whip on her face keeps her wrinkles away. I do it for my son, who is 5 and watches me while I mix products and run a business. I want him to see his mom making a difference in other people's lives.

Not only am I making it plain but I’m also affirming to myself that what I’m writing will come to pass.
What makes you HUMAN?: Working to be the best version of myself that I can be is what makes me human. Knowing that I’ll fail at some things but I will succeed at many things. My failures are just setups for my success.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: Owning a self care company the three things you should know are
1. Be kind to yourself! Life is hard enough without you being in your head judging yourself.
2. Do whatever you need to do to be who you are. Figure out what makes you happy and do it. But don’t just stop at one thing, keep looking for things that make you happy and keep doing that!
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Add a plant to your life! When the pandemic first hit I have to tell you I was in a funk. Stuck in the house when the weather was at its best. Though I attended every IG party when morning came I was still stuck. I’ve never been much of a plant person prior to the pandemic. I was online and a friend who is one of those awesome farmer type women, gardens has chickens stuff like that, went her social media selling dumb cane plants. I bought the plant with minimum expectation of a long life but setting my intentions on this plant to bring fresh life into my home. This plant is now flourishing but has fulfilled me in a way I never knew it could! I say that to say living life well doesn’t have to be something huge or expensive to impact your life in a huge way.

There is no cookie cutter perfect way...
I am first honest with myself by saying out loud what it is I want, then I write It down somewhere visible to train my mind. From there on out I become very conscious of making choices that align with what I want.
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: After being a nurse for 11 years, and the physical/mental toll It took on me, I knew I needed a change. But I still wanted to help people and with a master of science focus in herbal medicine and genomics + nursing I knew I had to find a way to merge the two and the rest of my colorful background

Self-love/wellness is all about YOU!
I’ve always loved to write. I begin writing creatively as a youth. I would write plays and then have auditions for plays I would put plays on in backyards. As I became older I began journaling. After my son died from injuries sustained in an automobile accident, I self-published my first book, My Whisper from God, available on Amazon.

What makes me human is that I am not perfect...
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: What inspired me to start my own life coaching business was after experiencing my own journey of transitioning from a divorce. Learning how to navigate through life as a new mother and single was very challenging deciding on which focuses I needed to prepare myself for having a life coach would’ve been much easier. So I began to coach my peers in the circle of women in my community which led to me becoming certified and creating Stacey Kiarra life coaching for women in transition.
How do you create the life you want?: I create the life that I want by setting goals prioritizing throughout the year I aluminate most in all toxic environments whether it’s social, mental and physical environments. I also have a life coach and a mentor that keeps me accountable throughout the year.
What makes you HUMAN?: What makes me human is that I am not perfect. I deal with life adversities just like every other person. However I strive to be more godlike yet I understand and judge no one.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: Self-love starts with your spiritual awareness, understanding that God made you for a purpose.
Take time to heal. Learn to understand where self doubt and any insecurities you may have come from I seeking a therapist.
Plan with intentions on self improvement in areas you feel you need. Life coaching can guide you through those roadblocks and help you become the best version of yourself
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: To live life well, I would say meditation gives more spiritual awareness. Therapy is a must to untangle our past. And discipline, learning to discipline our mind over our emotions can you help us navigate closer to our goals and a healthy space.

I strive to educate, empower and guide communities to be their best through; Performing Arts, Wellness and Consulting. I want to get pertinent information in the hands of people so they can make better, more informed decisions, know better, do better and be better.

I want to get pertinent information in the hands of people so they can make better, more informed decisions, know better, do better and be better.
How do you create the life you want?: It is a daily struggle to create the life I want. Everyday I have to remind myself that I have to "participate relentlessly in the manifestation of my own destiny."
What makes you HUMAN?: I have debilitating anxiety like most people do. My empathy triggers my anxiety. And then my anxiety debilitates my ability to be productive in life. So numerous "reality checkins" are a necessary part of my day. They consist of taking 10 conscious breathes, followed by asking myself if my emotions/feelings are triggered by; thoughts of the unchangeable past, worry about uncontrollable future, or a situation in the presence moment, and proceeding from there.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 1. The simple act of hydrating and properly nourishing your body does more for your body than any meditation, mindful or fitness class.
2. Self Love/Wellness looks different every day. Don't get hung up on what you did yesterday but didn't do today. Each act of self love, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction
3. Self Love/ Wellness can alleviate stress and the negative affects it has on our health.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Start your morning with 5 conscious breaths and set your intentions before you even leave your bed. Every morning meditate on the person you want to be. Imagine what a day in that life would look like, feel like, etc. See it clearly, and do it daily. It will change the momentum of your life.

Self-love and wellness is a marathon not a sprint.
While I'm a Black woman and absolutely understand the unique support and empowerment Black women need, I'm an intersectional feminist and wanted to provide merch that uplifts all women; black, brown, trans, white....
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: While I'm a Black woman and absolutely understand the unique support and empowerment Black women need, I'm an intersectional feminist and wanted to provide merch that uplifts all women; black, brown, trans, white.... While we definitely have differences and unique needs, we are humans first and foremost and share a need to support and uplift each other.
So, I have t-shirts, hoodies and accessories that is Black culture-themed and for women in general. I'm also a woman in STEM. I help development teams with product design by conducting user research and help them engineer products that truly support user needs (UX). So, I also have a growing collection of merch with that theme. Right now, the merch is generalized but I plan to shift the focus to women and Blacks in STEM.
I just started this year and while marketing is hard, what keeps me going is my continued belief that this need still exists. We (women) need more apparel and accessories that reflect our vibe whether it's confidence, progressive, pride, thankful, etc.
How do you create the life you want?: I try to always be learning and growing, then share what I learn about health and finance with people that I love. Even as a mid-career single mother, I returned to school to get a Master's degree and advance my career. I make an assertive effort to be an empathetic and understanding ear for my family and friends, even if I don't agree, because what people need more than agreement is to feel heard and understood.
What makes you HUMAN?: Being alive first and foremost. We all deserve love, respect and fair treatment in our pursuit for happiness and prosperity. Equal to receiving the basic rights of being a human, we need to actively work to respect the humanity of others as they too deserve love, respect and fair treatment regardless if we share their experience and their views.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 1. Self-love and wellness is a marathon not a sprint.
2. Self-Love: The world throws challenges away daily, and so it is a daily effort to practice self-love and self-care.
3. Whether it's coffee with a good friend, reading a good book with a lavender candle burning, or sporting motivational apparel, there's so many ways we can (and should) include people and things in our lives that uplift and encourage our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.

I speak on self love and wellness each day...
We could all use a little inspiration; especially in the spoken word form! Dr. Shani Collins Woods, based in Nashville, Tennessee, started the Shani Collins Woods Consulting, LLC, to encourage women to practice self-love and compassion.
We could all use a little inspiration; especially in the spoken word form! Dr. Shani Collins Woods, based in Nashville, Tennessee, started the Shani Collins Woods Consulting, LLC, to encourage women to practice self-love and compassion. Her work is centered around faith, self-love, and healthy relationships, and she uses devotionals to reach out to women who need uplifting. Dr. Shani believes that self-care is essential; especially while we’re all facing our own Covid-related issues. She aspires to continue supporting women through her consulting business, and she wants to leave this encouragement: we’ll get through this together! Self-love is easier when you embrace the support of a village, and we’re so thankful to have Dr. Shani’s guidance! We’re elated to introduce you to Dr. Shani, Queen of Consulting!
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: In 2013, I was completing my PhD in Social Work. I had heard Dr. Kerry Ann Rocquemore speak about academic entrepreneurship. I was inspired to launch my speaking, writing and consulting business as a means to share my gifts with others. My work centers on faith, self love, success, and health relationships. In 2015, I wrote "The SHE Devotional: 31 Daily Inspirations for a Woman's Spirit, Health and Emotions" as a means to encourage busy women to practice self compassion and self love.
I am motivated to keep going because I know I have a larger purpose.
I want to leave a legacy and make a meaningful impact on the world.
How do you create the life you want?: My faith is extremely important to me. Each day, I strive to wake up with intention and to act in a purposeful way. In general, I plan things. I recognize that my spiritual, physical and emotional well-being matters to my success in life. As such, I strive to prioritize those areas. By doing so, I am able to focus on my goals and reach them. I am also in tune with my feelings.
If something doesn't feel right for me or bring me peace, I separate from it or move in a different direction. My life has to be peaceful. I am intentional about seeking out people and experiences that bring me the most peace.
What makes you HUMAN?: I cry, feel, hurt, get upset, have anxiety, laugh and love like all human beings. As a social worker, I am trained to study human behavior and diagnosis people's problems. I am trained to problem solve. It it easy to focus the lens on others and map out a path for them. But what about my own humanity?
I strive to become more self-aware, conscious, and in tune with myself, my feelings, my thoughts, my joy and pain. I also strive to tune into the plight of those around me. My husband, Timothy, tells me I care about issues that others might not find interesting. I love knowing why people think, feel, and behave certain ways. My passion for seeing people live whole healthy makes lives me human because I share that same desire. If I can help others learn and/or be taught by others, I welcome the experience. We are all works in progress.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: I speak on self love and wellness each day and to many people in various spaces.
I always tell people: self love and self care are not independent. If you do not love yourself, you will not care for yourself.
Second, self love allows you to clearly know your value and self-worth as a human. When you know your worth, you will raise the standards for yourself. Third, boundaries are a part of self-love. It is not selfish to prioritize your spiritual, mental and physical health You must protect your personal peace at all costs.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Given the gravity of Covid-19 and its impact on all aspects of our lives, self care is essential. I believe it is important to strive to to make responsible food choices and to exercise. It is important to make time for your spiritual, physical, and emotional health. Activities like prayer and meditation, walking, jogging, running, dancing, and writing, signing, even TikTokking and provide a release. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to try to prioritize yourself. Also, let go of shame. During this pandemic, if you need help in any area of your life, ask for it. Shame paralyzes us and stresses us out. Due to Covid-19, many people are extremely stressed and struggling with anxiety. We all need help in various areas of our lives. We will get through this experience, together. Ask for what you need. Don't suffer in silence.

Self love really starts with self commitment.
I was initially inspired to start my business as a way to help women feel good about themselves by looking good. Over the last 20 years it has evolved to empowering women to start internally, because that's where lasting transformation happens.

How do you create the life you want?:
I create the life I want by constantly checking in with myself and assessing if I like the space I'm in both literally and figuratively. Like, if I'm not happy or feel like I'm thriving I start looking for what thriving now looks like, and from there an actionable plan is devised.

For many years I had a hard time with creating the life I wanted.
Self love/wellness are both so vital to our inner health. We need to understand that in order to be great for ourselves and for others that depend on us, we need to set time aside almost daily to stay grounded.
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: Growth of confidence and my overall love for Art inspired me to start my business, but knowing that I am FINALLY investing in myself is what keeps me going. I have spent enough time helping other people's dreams become reality and it feels good to put that same energy into myself.
How do you create the life you want?: For many years I had a hard time with creating the life I wanted. I kept making the mistake of trying to fit Art into the equation, instead of putting it there and working around it. I'm thankful I have a GREAT work/life balance that allows me to be an Artist and an Accountant.
What makes you HUMAN?: MISTAKES. MISTAKES. And more MISTAKES. I have found that mistakes aren't always meant to make us feel ashamed, but instead offers an opportunity to grow and to show that we aren't as perfect as we like to think at times.

I create the life I want by exercising my power to choose each day.
“I want a life that is free of constraints both real and perceived. I create the life I want by exercising my power to choose each day. I make sure I am intentional with everything I do and embrace challenges/responsibilities with gratitude.”
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: What inspires me: I started Enlighten Aromas to make some extra money to pay for grad school and I wanted my company to align with my personal mission to encourage women to make time for their self-care while promoting emotional and mental wellness. Enlighten Aromas is a home fragrance brand that provides a practical solution for busy women to make self-care a priority.
What motivates me:
Women have many responsibilities and often do not slow down long enough to think about how stress is negatively affecting them and the health problems that can develop when exposed to extended or chronic stress. Enlighten Aromas are for the women who feel pulled in multiple directions, have constant demands on their time, and just need a moment to themselves. My products help create an ambiance for comfort, relaxation, and peace of mind.
How do you create the life you want?:
I want a life that is free of constraints both real and perceived. I create the life I want by exercising my power to choose each day. I make sure I am intentional with everything I do and embrace challenges/responsibilities with gratitude. My goal is to have the resources to freely live and work wherever I desire. Each day I am working towards that goal by building my brand and working toward my educational and financial goals.
What makes you HUMAN?: My compassion and curiosity make me human. These two traits were my driving forces to pursue careers in counseling and education. I genuinely love connecting with others and helping them become their best versions of themselves.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?:
1. Self-love takes time to cultivate and with daily practice it becomes automatic.
2. Emotional and mental wellness are paramount and should be prioritized.
3. Anything worth having is worth working for and the same is true for both self-love and wellness.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?::

What motivates you to keep going?
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: After my divorce, I found solace in creating jewelry from gemstones. I was in an unfamiliar place mentally and emotionally, so it became my main form of meditation outside of yoga. Learning how to make different pieces and learning the meaning behind each gemstone caused my inspiration to grow- thus The Risen Lotus was born. I wanted to create unique, modern, and Afro-inspired gemstone jewelry. I saw so many gemstone bracelets and necklaces that always represented other cultures or religions, but nothing that I could truly resonate with.
Besides just wanting to follow through with my new path of entrepreneurship, my 4 year old son-shine motivates me. I want to be able to provide the life I had growing up, and as a full-time single mother (physically and financially), an 8-5 is not going to permit that. I want him to see me grow this business from the ground up, so that he knows dreams are attainable. My second motivation is to build The Risen Lotus on a scale where I am able to provide opportunities for other women and less fortunate families. I am determined to create a non-profit to accomplish it.
How do you create the life you want?: This is something that I have newly discovered over the past 3 years. First, being true to who I am. I live this out to the smallest thing, for instance, getting my finger tattoo. People will always have something to say or an opinion to give. However, I have resolved all insecurities and fears within me. And, any decision I make is always thought out carefully and considering my son comes first. Once those boxes are checked, I set my plan into motion and walk my path with my little man by my side. Lastly,
listening to my spirit without interference has allows given me what I needed in my life.
What makes you HUMAN?:
My soul makes me human. My ability to love and to have understanding makes me human. Not allowing difference of methodologies to create separation between others and myself. If someone comes with an open mind and heart, then I will greet them with the same energy.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 1.
Self love/wellness looks different for everyone, so the best way to experience self love is by participating in any positive outlet that allows you to release any negative emotions or mental blocks.
2. Self love should have its moments of feeling uncomfortable, like a snake shedding its scales. There is always room for growth, so you should be forever evolving.
3. Enjoy the journey! No one's path is straight and narrow. Don't dwell on the times that you stumble. Your self love and wellness journey is something you will continue to look back on, and be amazed at your progress.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Spread a little positivity and eat well! I believe karma is a major shift changer in our lives. So putting out good vibes will help ensure you receive them in return, whether its mentally, physically, emotionally, and/or financially.
