From Behind the Chair to New Beginnings: My Journey to Rest, Growth, and Empowerment

Updated: Jan 20

I’ve always had a natural connection with hair. In middle school when I began doing my own hair, my friends asked me to style theirs as well — for free, of course. By my freshman year in high school, I was not only styling my friends' hair but also getting paid for it. This early exposure to the world of hair styling helped me realize that my gifts weren’t just something I enjoyed doing — they could also sustain me. Over the past 10 years, I’ve poured my heart and soul into caring for and styling natural hair, however now, I find myself being called to take a step back and shift my focus.


As I evolve, I want to bring you along with me on this journey — especially if you're a busy melanated girly or a mom juggling it all. In this introductory blog, I’ll be diving into natural hair care, beauty, and wellness tips that are realistic and achievable for those who don’t always have the time to focus on themselves. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or practical advice, I hope this blog will help you prioritize yourself — just as I’m learning to do.



A Personal Touch: My Journey to Rest


Towards the end of my career as a stylist, I was stretched thin. Between clients, members, studios, and the demands of motherhood and family life, it became clear that I needed to change. The physical toll on my body, especially my back, hands and wrists, was another sign that I needed to take a step back. Chronic strain, like what I experienced, can be a real challenge for anyone working with their hands or on their feet all day — whether you’re in beauty or any other field.


In addition to the physical strain, I realized that it wasn’t just my body that needed rest — I also needed mental and emotional space to reconnect with myself and my purpose.



💭 Thought Bubble: It wasn’t easy to walk away from something that had been such a huge part of my life, but I realized that taking care of myself would allow me to serve others in a bigger and more sustainable way.



This period of rest has been a revelation for me. I’ve learned that I don’t have to constantly work hard to be successful. Instead, I can use my knowledge and skills in a way that doesn’t drain me. In fact, it’s been a beautiful opportunity to guide others while also taking better care of myself.


Embracing New Opportunities: What’s Next


As I focus on my well being, I’m excited to share that I’ve shifted my energy toward creating digital tools for entrepreneurs, creators, and beauty enthusiasts like you. Through my online beauty, wellness & creative business, I aim to empower my audience with blogs, guides, templates, journals, planners, and courses — all designed to help you achieve your beauty, wellness, and business goals.



⭐ Practical Tip: If you’ve been thinking about ways to serve others while maintaining your own health, consider creating digital resources like guides or templates that align with your passion. They are a great way to share your knowledge without burning out.



I will be launching more guides and blogs focused on natural hair care, including maintaining healthy hair, product recommendations, tips for silk pressing hair, and how to care for kids’ hair. These resources are designed to help you prioritize self care without spending endless hours on maintenance.



Beauty and Wellness Tips for the Transition


During this time of transition, I’ve found peace in practices like deep breathing, yoga, and meditation. These have not only helped me relax but also realign with my purpose and values. In addition to taking care of my physical health, I’ve been intentional about nourishing my mental and emotional well being. Whether it's practicing mindfulness or allowing myself to rest without guilt, I've learned that maintaining balance is key.


One of my go-to beauty tips during this time is the power of simplicity: a cute head wrap, lashes, gloss and brow threading can transform my look, making me feel rejuvenated and confident. And of course, my favorite “uniform” during this season is a cozy, thick cardigan that feels like a warm hug.



⭐ Practical Tip: If you’re juggling multiple responsibilities, carve out at least 5 minutes each day for deep breathing or a few simple yoga stretches. It doesn’t need to be long to make a difference!
