I need to say this plainly: I'm 58, single, and I still want good intimacy in my life. Menopause tried to take that off the table for me — and I said not today. Here's what I've learned, both from my own experience and from talking to so many women in this community: some of you are completely done with that part of life, and that's valid. Some of you miss it. Some of you are working to regain your desire. And some of you, like me, never lost it and are just tired of feeling like you have to whisper about it. Wherever you are on that list, there's no wrong answer. There are real biological changes happening — hormone shifts that affect comfort, desire, and your body's response — and there is a LOT you can do naturally to feel like yourself again. Lubricant, movement, sleep, and yes, honest conversations with your doctor are all part of it. No shame in any of it. I wrote the full, honest version of this on my blog and Substack this week — link in the comments. This is a conversation we don't have enough of, and I'm done staying quiet about it. This is another form of rising

Strength training isn't just about building muscle—it's about building confidence, resilience, and vitality, especially during midlife. For women navigating this powerful phase of life, lifting weights can be a transformative act of self-care. It supports stronger bones, boosts energy, and helps maintain independence as we age. You're not just lifting iron—you're reclaiming strength, health, and power. Let's prioritize our well-being together.

Can you smell it
Inside your home
Has the smoke filled air
Snuck in between the vents of your safe space
Are your eyes watering
Your lungs aching
Are you wondering
How something that happens in another country
Can make your summer sky
Harmful to inhale
Are you wondering
How across the pond
The sun has scorched a continent
Leaving death in its wake
Are you doubled over
In your bathroom
After a leafy green lunch
Are your water bills
Electric bills
Heating bills
Soaring
While you
YIMBY a data center
Are your neighbors put in concentration camps
Or are they shot in the streets
Did you cast a ballot
While saying
Climate change isn’t real
But borders are
Thinking you are only connected to
Those who look and worship like you
Believing that we don’t share a planet
Don’t share consequences
Don’t share responsibilities
Can you smell it ?
Has it entered your home
Is it surrounding you now
The life you wished for the rest of us
Are your eyes burning yet ?

Fitness tip nobody talks about enough:

If your workouts are consistent but your brain feels foggy, your energy is low, and your mood is all over the place, the problem might not be your training. It might be your hormones.

Estrogen directly affects brain function. When it starts shifting in perimenopause and menopause, cognitive symptoms like brain fog, poor focus, and mental fatigue follow. This isn't a weakness. This is physiology.

The good news? Movement is one of the most powerful tools we have to fight back. Exercise increases blood flow to the brain, reduces inflammation, and supports the neurotransmitters that estrogen regulates.

30 minutes. Most days. It doesn't have to be intense — it has to be consistent.

Your brain is part of your fitness. Start training it that way.

I made something for you.
Many have asked me what MY morning routine actually looks like — the real one, the one I've been doing for years before the sun comes up.

So I wrote it all down. Every step. Every supplement. Every trick I've learned coaching Black women over 50 for 20+ years.
It's called Your Midlife Morning Routine — and it's unlike anything you'll find on Google or Pinterest. This is real life, not a wellness fantasy.

Inside you'll get my 5-step 4–6am routine, my personal breathwork sequence, what I eat first thing and WHY, the one supplement most women over 50 are missing, and a daily checklist you can actually use.

Your hormones are talking. Are you listening?
So many women I talk to over 50 think something is just wrong with them — the exhaustion, the mood shifts, the weight that won't budge, the libido that packed up and left.
But here's what I want you to know: your body isn't broken. Your hormones are just changing.
And when you understand what's happening — estrogen, testosterone, all of it — you stop fighting your body and start working with it.

I just dropped a new blog breaking it all down. No medical jargon. No shame. Just real talk from someone who has lived it and coached hundreds of women through it.

I wrote this post because I have sat with too many women — brilliant, strong, capable women — who were suffering quietly and had no idea their hormones were part of what was happening to them. Women who thought something was wrong with them. Women who had been pushing through for years because that is what we do. I wrote it because the silence in our community around mental health has cost us too much for too long. And I wrote it because somebody needed to say out loud what so many of us have only whispered: you are allowed to not be okay. Save this post. Read it when you are ready. And please — send it to a sister who needs it today.

I wrote this post because I kept seeing the same thing happen over and over — a woman would come to me exhausted and frustrated, having Googled her symptoms and found nothing that felt like it was written for her. The timelines were too clinical. The language was too cold. And nobody was talking about the fact that Black women’s experience of this transition is different from the average. So I wrote the honest answer. The one that takes into account our bodies, our history, and what we actually want to know. If you have been wondering how much longer this will last, this one is for you. Save it. Share it with someone who needs a real answer.
