Teatime Testimonial⭐

" What Do You Have In Your Hand " was a quote one of the speakers made at the 2024 I Am Woman Pacesetters Movement Conference that I attended. As the microphone was passed around the room, I had the opportunity to hear testimonies from other women who shared that they had two and three businesses. This inspired me so much that I sowed a seed of declaration by declaring that "I am an entrepreneur!". I immediately started to think, what do I have in my hands? God reminded me that I have a vehicle. Today I can proudly say that I am truly an entrepreneur, I have stepped out in faith believing that God would bless my business so bountifully that it would be a major source of income to help me and my family. I am thankful to Mrs. Brown for inviting me to the IAWPM conference. She is an inspiration to me and many others. I hope she continues the good work because there are many women out there that needs to hear what God has placed on the inside of her. Mrs. Olivia Austin...

Self - Love and Mental Health

The foundation of self-love is based on the concept of good mental health. It involves being able to set boundaries to support emotional well-being, accepting that some things are meant to be, and having compassion even for oneself. With these key aspects, one can reduce anxiety stress, and even depression with support, resilience and self-worth. To accomplish these goals, one must include practices that will assist in good mental practices which include making rest a priority, forgiving oneself, and even involves acts of kindness towards oneself.  Self-care is something that must be cultivated, nurtured, and practiced daily. This will support good mental health and assist in dispelling persistent negative thoughts and self-doubt. Therefore, accept yourself, appreciate yourself and your mental health will continue to strengthen and thrive. By Mrs. Lashanda Dorsett  (RN, MSc, PMHN,  Psychiatric Mental Nurse) ๐Ÿ’—
