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.

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

I wear my heart on my sleeve and openly show emotions...
I wear my heart on my sleeve and openly show emotions. I love and feel deeply with my whole being. Not only do I love hard, but I feel just as hard as well. My feelings are intense, and I am sensitive to my emotions. I am aware of my emotions and the world around me. I used to see this as a weakness, but now I know my ability to express and be in tune with my true self is what makes me human.
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: I was inspired to start teaching yoga, because I wanted to share the power of yoga with others. Yoga has been therapeutic and my way to release, relax and recharge daily. I truly believe everyone should experience the magic yoga holds. My burning passion and respect for yoga motivate me to keep going. It is such an honor to serve others and give with my whole heart by teaching yoga. The joy, gratitude, and humility I feel after sharing my experience with yoga or teaching a class fills me up and oozes out of my pores.
How do you create the life you want?: You create the life you want by listening to your intuition, and being honest with yourself and the world around you. By constantly clearing your mental, physical, and emotional space of what is no longer serving you, it allows you to let go of what is distracting you from what you are trying to do. When you have a focal point on something you want in life, you must clear the fog so you can stay focused on where you are trying to go or accomplish. When things get challenging, allow your drive to continue to push you forward. Do everything wholeheartedly and with intention, work hard, and be present moment by moment.

What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: 1. Your body is an ecosystem, and you must take care of her. Love her. Feed her wholesome foods. Move her. Dress her up and make yourself feel good. Tell her kind words. Surround her with down to earth, positive people. Hydrate her.
2. Setting boundaries with yourself and others is essential.You have to be willing to say no, not only to others but to yourself when needed because boundaries keep you grounded. This type of self-love takes a lot of discipline.
3. Movement really is medicine. Moving your body heals you, not only physically but emotionally and mentally as well. Energy does not die, it just shows up in different forms. Movement allows you to move stagnant energy throughout your body, and use it for good.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?:: Drink your water, and stay hydrated.

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.
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: 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. Every woman I meet with a limiting story or belief keeps me motivated to continue teaching and showing up because I know they need it.
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.
What makes you HUMAN?: Wow I love this question! One thing that makes me human is that I can be so rebellious at times with instruction, even with what God has told me. Definitely a human trait.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?: Three things I want you to know about self-love or wellness is:
1. Self love really starts with self commitment.

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.

This queen specializes in feminine wellness, womb work and soon, doula services. Meet the Queen of Womb Transformation!
What inspired you to start your business and why?:
The teachings of my late grandmother, Olivia (who was better known as “Mother Canada”). My grandmother is the reason for my passion in wellness and taking care of the body, especially the bodies of the Black community. Growing up, there really weren’t any healing practices, professionals or resources that associated with the bodies of Black people, especially Black women, and learning generations of healing and wellness rituals from my grandmother, even as a child, sparked my interest to be the next generation of healers and advocates for my community.
What does your company stand for?:
Our company aims to increase the awareness of transforming wombs that create magical orgasms, beautiful babies, happiness and amazing self-love with care, education, healing and advocating. My focus is to provide wellness guidance and healing services to individuals who are in need to conceive, have successfully conceived and are need of assistance for successful pregnancies, but also to those who have suffered the loss due miscarriage or abortion or for those who just want to live a life of healing and wellness in general. My mission is to heal and create improved bodies for those in need in the Black community.
How do you create the life you want?:
Just by being my true self. I always grew up hiding myself and passion for my interest in healing and wellness even though I was raised around women who taught me to never be afraid to stand out and be different from the rest. Now I stand by their philosophies about one’s true identity and I create my life the way I want to always feel: with love, happiness, strength and liberation.
Where do you find inspiration?:
I find it through self-reflection and the teachings of the women in my family. Femininity and strength was always taught to be embraced. So I tap deep within myself through prayer, worship and meditation to embark on my journey of being more free in my Creator’s creativity within myself.
How has your business made you a better person?:
It has taught me how to be more free to be myself and in my truth. When I’m in my truth, I’m able to create a better healing practice for the community and remove any energetic blocks that may hinder the process of learning and growing more in my practice and knowledge of healing and wellness.
What makes you HUMAN?:
My flaws and loving all of them. My awareness that I have flaws is what makes me who I am. To not feel ashamed and to only embrace them more so I can feel and create a better me each day.
