My earliest memory of first learning about a "period" was in the 5th grade when our teachers put the girls and boys into separate rooms and they had us watch a movie on VHS about a girl starting her period for the first time. We were then handed a small bag that included a pad and a pamphlet then sent home. That was it.It took me YEARS, a terrible menstrual cycle, a few quacky doctors, and a lot of research to learn just how much our periods affect our daily lives. From the way we plan )or not plan) for a family, to the conversations we have, and yes, to even how we run our business.That's why this week I am so incredibly excited to share with you the conversation I had with Berrion Berry!Berrion (pronounced berry-on) Berry is a Women’s Health Coach, Fertility Awareness Educator, & founder of Optimize Your Flo. Her work educates, equips, and empowers modern girls and women to embrace their hormonal nature through understanding their bodies and simplifying their wellness routine. Her expertise has been showcased in MSNBC’s Film Periodical and even on some of your favorite platforms like 21Ninety, xoNecole, Balanced Black Girl, The Every Girl and many more. From menarche to menopause, Berrion covers it all and is dedicated to helping women achieve optimal health in every phase.We cover so much in this episode!

As an entrepreneur you have a strategy for literally everything in your business.   How to grow your audience, how to make more money or how to be seen as a leader in your industry. Everything in your business is strategically planned in order for you to hit a very specific goal which in turn, allows you to grow into a better entrepreneur.   So why do we not strategically plan for our own mental and physical wellness in the same way we do our content or marketing strategy? Why is that most entrepreneurs have to hit a serious case of burnout before they create some sort of self-care plan when our business would be nothing if we weren't in it?   No matter how many incredible strategies we use within our business to get to the next level, we are still our biggest asset. So why are we not focusing more on taking care of ourselves?   In this week's episode we chat about how to create your own self-care strategy!

I don't know about you, but it feels like this year is FLYING BY! I'm just now getting a grip on my goals and what I want to accomplish this year and here we are already in the second quarter of 2022! If you've been listening to this show this year then you know that I announced a couple of months ago that me and my business are both going through a HUGE transition. I am shifting out of the coaching industry and with that, I'm completely stripping away the entire identity that I have given myself over the past 8 years. Needless to say, this first quarter has been interesting. A lot of people have asked me what was next and what goals I am setting for 2022 moving forward, so this week I wanted to update you on how the first quarter of this year went and what I'll be focusing on over the next 90 days.

Do you know what makes a successful entrepreneur different from those who are not? When business gets hard successful entrepreneurs, instead of sitting in their excuses, they instead figure out a solution to push past the problem that they are currently facing.
