SheWolf Saturday

Quarantine, what day is it?

Hello fellow She-wolf! So, depending on where you are in the world, we have two things in common, and it’s “WE’RE LOCKED UP and they won’t let us out”. Feel free to minimize this screen, pull up Youtube and find that old school Akon track, don’t forget your glass of wine, or juice, infused water, that’s cool too.

Wow, did you ever think we would see the day? I personally didn’t. I’m nervous every time I have to run out for the family, but hey that’s essential right, or is it? We’re all just sitting here trying to stay sane, and trying to let the time go by until this is all over, but that isn’t coming for a while so what do we do?

I mean we’re at home trying our best to come up with some type of game plan for the day to day hustle. And listen, it’s not easy.

I struggled with anxiety and depression for a while, and now I feel like I’m about to head face-first into those demons again, and I refuse to go down that road right now. Now, disclaimer I’m not about to preach about how you gotta punch life in the face and get up, get out, and go do something, Nah that’s not how this works. I remember those days when I couldn’t get off the couch to fix a meal, brush my teeth, eat, and let alone slay a mile-long to-do list…. it takes time.

My hope in you following me during this whole Quarantine is that you learn something, we can connect and inspire each other and keep each other lifted. This new line of #ShewolfSaturday series I’m rolling out with is just a way to help you keep slaying, through all the bad days when depressions rocks you, and when stress punches you in the chest, and anxiety sits down with you a while and has that conversation with you, and then your ambition is like hold up, she’s not falling for that, baby get up, we got ish to do!

Cue the tears as I’m typing this, we’re going to make it through Quarantine yall, as I sit here listening to Jhene Aiko, I feel my heart pumping a little faster, my strength resurfacing, and my ambition flipping its hair. Okay, Queen!!!

We’ve got this Queens. Now that you’ve made it through all of this, here’s your freebie! #Letslay
