I built my business to create empowerment.

An essential part of this is dismantling the systems that have oppressed us.

To me, this means speaking as a LEADER, not selling silence.

This isn’t about tearing others down —but what we are tearing down is 👉🏽 OLD BS systems so that we can ALL rise (not just some).

This is exactly why I created TL10 and She Creates Freedom. Because I refuse to talk about ‘empowerment’ without teaching it in a way that is empowering for women, decolonized, and REAL.

Because how can something be effective if it requires us to leave out ENTIRE parts of ourselves? Ignoring our REAL lived experiences.

I’m not perfect and the work of decolonizing is never done. *there’s plenty of issues that I’m not even aware of. 🙏🏽 but I am ready AF to keep showing up for this. Because EMPOWERMENT isn’t always pretty or convenient. and I’m here for it.

If this resonates, drop a 💛 below in solidarity. come be in this space with me and let’s continue creating community. 🫶

( #6 of 7) ➡️ Turn Worry Into Action.

👉🏽 Decide If/How You Want to Get Involved.

✅ Worry without action = spinning and unresolved stress cycles.

If it’s weighing on you, decide: Where/how you want to help. (*note on REST below)

✅ IMPORTANT:
Not all action looks the same.
Your role in this moment is YOURS to define. 💯

What’s sustainable for YOU?
(NOT what others are doing 🚫)

✅ Whether it’s donating, organizing, speaking up, or simply educating yourself—action shifts helplessness → EMPOWERMENT.

✅ REMINDER: Rest is an action too.

If your role in this moment is taking care of yourself & your family, that 👏🏼 is 👏🏼 ENOUGH 👏🏼

💡 Swipe to see MY plan.
Not because it’s the ‘right’ way—but to share a REAL life example.

(this is what feels right for ME right now, and it will continue to evolve. I’ll edit as needed.)

If you’re unsure where to start, consider:
▪️What’s ONE thing I can do that aligns with MY capacity, my skills, and my heart?

▪️Or, a super simple question I love: HOW CAN I HELP?

here’s the thing about STRESS EATING:
often, it’s because we’re spinning on something we’re worried about.

Spinning, spinning, spinning.

(spinning → stress → food as relief) 🔁

Give it a try. You don’t need a snack to “take the edge off.” You need clarity. ✅

Spend a couple of minutes getting clear on your role in this moment.

Decide where YOUR energy is best spent.

👉🏽 It’ll calm your nervous system faster than any bag of chips ever could. 😉

⬇️ Drop a ❤️ in the comments in solidarity.

Here’s to sticking together! xo Brenda

#4 - Reclaim Your JOY (ie. Serotonin Boost)

✅ JOY is resistance. White supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism thrive on burnout.

✅ Serotonin = emotional regulation, calm, JOY.

(*often when we find ourselves stress eating, and/or eating to ‘take the edge off’ … what we need is a Seratonin Boost! 👉🏽 AND THATS IS OKAY, there’s other ways to get it! 🤓)

Boost it by:

Getting in the sun ☀️

Laughing with someone you love

Doing something that makes you feel ALIVE

✅ Your joy is not frivolous. It’s a revolutionary act.

And… YING YANG twins! 🪩👯‍♀️

** felt like I was 24 again dancing! (Next day my legs reminded me I’m 42 LOL. But that’s a different story 😜🤣)
