“Not Yet” I put my FOOT into 2025 with Black Star physical therapy and wellness.

A few weeks ago asked us if we were content with “not yet” or “not this” and I could only think of this.

This time last year I claimed that ‘2025 is divine’. I said it out loud during one of our Vyros community group sessions with committing to the process.

And I did.
I was more organized in 2025 in business.
I hired a virtual assistant and met with my business coach.
I promoted group fitness classes going from behind the screen to in person.
I promoted and sold physical therapy and stretching, made home visits and thanks to all of you, stayed on top of my weekly newsletters and content.

2025 was divine because doing all of that really showed me what it takes to be an entrepreneur in this health and wellness space. It provided me insight into what I do and do not know in business.

As hard as it was to make the phone call to Leka and say that I wasn’t renewing my lease while also informing my clients that I was closing, a strange weight fell off my shoulders.

Part of me felt guilty for that, but then I realized this is an opportunity to start from scratch and to look at Gods vision from the outside. To listen and build what I really want to build not what people are telling me to build.

So for anyone upset or confused or feeling this tug-of-war, trying to figure out which side are you on in any part of life. This doesn’t have to be business. It could be relationship, school or your own health journey.

You might have to stop let go.

Let God really talk to you when you feel the lowest or in an internal tug-of - war. You will be amazed and what you learn about yourself and your dreams. ✨

I don’t have a word for 2026 because it hasn’t been told to me yet, but I’m sure you’ll be on this ride with me. Let’s see what happens.

Thank you again to all of you who have subscribed to emails subscribed to YouTube and follow me on this platform. I’m not going anywhere; just making a pivot. ❤️

We are here!
Happy new year!
We made it

Who is out here setting goals or making vision boards? Do you actually look at them again in the year?

This year I am continuing with how 2025 ended…slowing down, listening and planning!

So if I look at you like this, my bad but I’m probably thinking!

Have a great 2026. Share 1 thing you are taking with you into 2026!

Happy New Year ✨🎊
YOU are capable of more than you think.

Today we welcome Day 7 of Kwanzaa: Imani (Faith) 🖤❤️💚
Faith in yourself.
Faith in your beliefs.
Faith in what’s possible even when the path isn’t clear yet.

As we step into 2026, let this be your reminder:
You don’t need perfection to reach your health and wellness goals.
You need belief, consistency, and grace.

Have faith in your body’s ability to heal, adapt, and grow stronger.
Have faith in your discipline — even on the days motivation is low.
Honor your body by listening to it, caring for it, and showing up anyway.

Stay focused.
Stay disciplined.
Have faith!!!

YOU are capable of more than you think.

Here’s to a year rooted in purpose, strength, and belief 🤍

It’s New Year’s Eve ✨🎉
A moment to pause, reflect, and look ahead.

Today also marks Day 6 of Kwanzaa: Kuumba (Creativity) 🖤❤️💚
A reminder to create in ways that improve our lives, our communities, and ourselves.

As we head into 2026, let creativity guide how you care for your body.
Movement doesn’t have to be strict, punishing, or perfect to be effective.

✨ Walk somewhere new
✨ Try a different style of movement
✨ Stretch while the kids play
✨ Turn on music and move freely

Creative movement builds joy, consistency, and longevity not burnout.

Here’s to a new year of honoring your body with curiosity and grace.
Happy New Year 🥂

It’s the last day of the year and day 12 of wellness.

Before goals.
Before resolutions.
Before comparison…

Pause.

Your body kept you here.
It showed up even on days you didn’t feel your best.

If you can walk 👉🏾 that’s a gift.
If you can lift 👉🏾 that’s a privilege.
If you’re still trying 👉🏾 that’s strength.

In 2026, we’re not at war with our bodies.
We’re working with them.

Today instead of goals or resolutions, set an intention that honors your body.

🙌🏾 Share one thing your body helped you do this year.

I have been praying, trying to set boundaries, journaling, resting, pausing and listening but….this type A girl just wants to make sure I ordered the right package!

Happy New Year!

Happy Kwanzaa 🖤❤️💚
Day 5 — Nia (Purpose)

As 2025 comes to a close, this year has been deeply eye-opening and reflective for me.
It challenged me to slow down, listen, and really understand my purpose—both personally and in my work.

I don’t have every detail of 2026 figured out yet…
but I do have clarity, peace, and gratitude.

Grateful to God for the lessons, the redirection, and the reminders that purpose isn’t about rushing—it’s about alignment.

Moving forward with faith, intention, and trust 🤍

Jan 1 is almost here and as a physical therapist, these first few weeks of the new year is when I see the most common “back went out” season.

Why is this?
It is not because you are weak
but because recovery gets skipped.

Your muscles don’t grow during workouts.
They adapt when you rest, refuel, and relax.

Lately, sauna has been my go-to after a workout and especially when my body feels tight:
15 minutes. Light stretching. Or just sitting and breathing.
No forcing. No pushing.

Recovery isn’t optional.
It’s injury prevention.

💬 Comment “RECOVER” if you’re choosing longevity this 2026 over burnout.

Happy Kwanzaa 🖤❤️💚
Day 4 — Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)

Ujamaa reminds us to support and invest in businesses that reflect our values and pour back into the community.

Today I’m sipping and supporting ☕️
Black-owned. Purpose-driven. Community-focused.

Where we spend our money matters.
When we circulate dollars within our community, we create opportunity, sustainability, and collective wellness.

Drop a Black-owned business you love below ⬇️
Let’s keep the support going.

12/28/2025

Happy Kwanzaa 🖤❤️💚
Day 3 — Ujima (Collective Work & Responsibility)

Ujima reminds us that we rise together.
When one of us is supported, the whole community benefits.

This season, consider supporting a Black-owned business — with your dollars, your referrals, your time, or your encouragement.

Small actions create collective impact.
That’s how we build, heal, and thrive together.

Day 10 - 12 days of wellness Habit Stacking!

You don’t need a new routine.
You need a better attachment to the one you already have.

Most pain isn’t from “not doing enough.”
It’s from asking your tired brain to make one more decision.

That’s why habit stacking works, not because it builds discipline,
but because it removes friction.

When wellness becomes automatic, your body stops bracing…
and pain has less room to hang out.

Tonight, don’t overthink it:
📺 Watching TV? Stretch.
🛏️ Getting into bed? Breathe.

Tiny habits win especially when life is full.

👉🏾 Comment which 1 habit you can stick to on a daily basis.

12/27/2025

Happy Kwanzaa 🖤❤️💚
Day 2 — Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)

Kujichagulia reminds us to define ourselves, speak for ourselves, and make choices that honor who we are.

Today that looks like choosing rest when we need it.
Choosing movement that supports our bodies.
Choosing habits that protect our health, peace, and well-being.

Honoring ourselves — in our bodies and in our lives.
