Welcome to May 🌺 The Season of Becoming

There’s something about May.
The air feels lighter.
The sunlight lingers.
And something deep within us begins to stretch, soften, and bloom.
For Black women over 40, this season carries its own kind of awakening—a quiet, sacred invitation to become. To listen. To realign. And to reclaim the parts of ourselves that got left behind in the hustle, the caretaking, the survival.
This month at The Self-Care Studio, we're entering what I call The Season of Becoming— Restoring Balance, Beauty & Purpose After 40— a time to return to balance, rediscover beauty on our own terms, and remember that it’s never too late to redefine purpose.
Who I Am (And Why I’m Speaking to You)
If we haven’t met yet—hi, I’m Jessica, a Black woman, mother, wellness educator, and the founder of The Self-Care Studio. I created this space for women like us—those navigating midlife, identity shifts, and reinvention with soul, softness, and intention.
I’m not writing from a mountaintop. I’m right here in the messy middle, too.
And everything I share this month—I'm offering it to myself as much as I am to you.
This is not about becoming someone else.
This is about returning to yourself. Fully. Gently. Powerfully.
What You Can Expect This Month
Each week, we’ll explore a different layer:
🌿 Hormone Health After 40
Navigating hormonal shifts naturally, while reclaiming your rhythm.
🧘🏾♀️ Mindfulness & Mental Wellness
Breaking the “strong Black woman” impulse and learning how to be with yourself.
✨ Beauty & Aging Gracefully
Because melanin is magic—and our beauty doesn’t expire.

Protecting your peace, your time, and your energy.
