  • Emotional self-care relies on one’s ability to think clearlyand factually. So often our thought life is full of imaginings, dreams and fancies that cause satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, the thoughts may not be factual.

    Our thoughts are also influenced by experiences andingrained beliefs. This affects our ability to engage in healthy interactions. So, how does one deliver emotional self-care in a meaningful way? We begin by recognizing and understanding our habitual toxic thought patterns, then we work to change them.

    In this episode of “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we continue sharing the “10 Toxic Thought Patterns that Lead to Staggering Burnout in Black Women.”

  • Do you park in the same spot at work? Sit in the same pew at church? You probably order the same meal at your favorite fast-food restaurant.

    We are creatures of habit doing the same actions in the same order at the same time of the day.

    Habits also fuel our thought life. We each have patterns ofthinking that were developed by our experiences. These thought patterns influence our wellbeing. They can also increase our potential for burnout.

    In this episode of “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we aregoing to share five of the “10 Toxic Thought Patterns that Lead to Staggering Burnout in Black Women.”

  • “I am not good enough.” “I am not important.” “I am damaged that’s why no one will love me.”

    Do these statements sound familiar? You may have a friend, sister, aunt or cousin who makes similar statements. Perhaps you say these things about yourself. You and I both know that these are not the only negativestatements that women tell themselves. We could probably develop a list that is pages long.

    These statements are verbal reminders of the doubts we feel about ourselves. We think and say them when we feel vulnerable. They come from beliefs that are held deep inside and negatively affect our mental health.

    In this episode of “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we aregoing to share “How Empowered Black Women use Core Beliefs to Improve Mental Health.”

  • I often end correspondence, talks and even video podcasts with the phrase “take good care.” To “take good care,” we must go beyond our thoughts and dive deep into our beliefs about ourselves and the world aroundus.

    Taking good care is more than a spa day or a day spent with friends, although those activities are fun and revitalizing. Taking good care requires introspective action that may be challenging and uncomfortable. Wemust sometimes allow ourselves to be vulnerable to get to those deep places that keep us from moving forward.

  • We are starting a study of what is needed for Black women totake care of themselves emotionally. Life is tough for Black women. We must be allthings to most people and twice as good to some. Our worth is often measurednot by our character, but by the texture of our hair, the color of our skin orthe size of our butt.

    Regardless of our accomplishments, we tend to be our ownworst critics. This makes us sad, anxious and depressed. We must learn andpractice ways to stay safe, feel secure and stand with stability in a worldthat does not always value us.

  • I am still reeling from those magnificent performancesduring the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. What about you? I’ve thought about Steph Curry’s 3 point run that sealed the gold medal for the USA men’s basketball team. I watched how the women’s basketball team banded together to defeat an awesome French women’s team.

    Sifan Hassan won the women’s Olympic marathon in record time. She also won bronze medals in the 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter races. She ran over 38 miles over the course of the Olympic event.

    So many of us dream of living a golden life, one in which we accomplish and live out our cherished desires. How does one get there? The Olympic athletes and those who aspired to compete in the Olympics demonstrated what it takes to stand on the top podium. We can use similar strategies.

  • I’ve been watching the Olympics and continue to be in awe if these magnificent athletes. The women’s 4x400 relay blew everyone out in the final to win the gold medal in that event. Katie Ledecky won four medals and is the most decorated female swimmer in Olympic history. The US gymnastics team earned medals as they showed mettle.

    I have a few new basketball favorites in Kevin Durant and Anthony Edwards. The Swede Mondo Duplantis earned the Olympic Gold Medal in pole vault along with my admiration. All the athletes are phenomenal. They dedicated their lives to sports that they love, and they were rewarded for that dedication.

    What would happen if we dedicated our time and effort to live a truly satisfying life? What are you willing to do to win the gold medal life that you have been seeking?

    In today’s “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we will share “3 Steps You Needto Win the Gold Medal Life You Desire.”

  • Compassion is often known as love in action. It is when we see suffering and we take action to do something about it.

    What happens when we are the ones who are suffering? Feeling overwhelmed is a form of suffering.

    The R.A.I.N. Meditation can help to bring clarity and enable you to nurture a sense of safety, stability and security.

    In this episode of Stress Talk Live with Marcyline, we aregoing to practice R.A.I.N.

  • Technology has enabled a virtual world in which we can occupy the same space at the same time without being physically present. It’s quite fascinating that the world has become so small. It’s easy to speak with someone on another continent. The only problem may be getting the time zone right.

    We can connect with others in so many ways, anywhere and at any time. Why then, are more people reporting that they feel lonely? What can be done to facilitate meaningful connections?

  • What makes for a balanced life? If you are a working woman, with a family, a balanced life may seem elusive. What does that even mean, anyway?

    Well, let’s talk about what it doesn’t mean first. A balanced life does not mean that we can use accounting principles or mathematics to determine whether we are living in equilibrium. Time is not the only value we shouldconsider. Our skewed ideas of perfection also do not create or define life balance.

    Life balance is as individualized as we each are. The definition, measure and outcome are uniquely our own and requires personal introspection. To create and live in a balanced way, we each must review and consider what it means and how to reach it.

    In today’s “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we will begin a month-long discussion about balanced lives as we share “8 Benefits Women Get from a Balanced and Harmonious Life Plan.”

  • Most of us want to exercise regularly, eat healthily, relax and live a satisfying life. This could be a definition of wellbeing. How does that happen? So many of us put ourselves on hold while we try to meet the responsibilities of home and work.

    Mindfulness goes beyond sitting quietly, repeating a mantra or meditating. Mindfulness can influence our ability to improve our wellbeing and cause us tobe more resilient.

  • Mindfulness is not just sitting in a corner on a cushion chanting or listening to a guided meditation. It is not just knowing a method to calm oneself or lower stress levels. Mindfulness goes beyond one single person. The foundation for mindfulness living is that everything is connected. We are all interconnected.

    Imagine that. What one thinks, says and does affects others. What one believes, drives thoughts and behaviors which affect others. Women have an opportunity to embrace this concept and influence the world around them by extending compassion to themselves and to others.

    In today’s “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we will share “Compassion is the First Anchor Women Embrace for Mindful Living.”

  • Does anyone remember the song “What the World Needs Now is Love?” Hal David wrote the lyrics and Burt Bacharach composed the music. Jackie DeShannon wasthe first to sing this song. I remember listening to Dionne Warwick’s version in our home as a young girl.

    I was too young, when the song was released, to understand the depth of division that the United States was experiencing at that time. I have since learned by reading and studying the history, that it was a chaotic and scary time for the adults.

    We are living in chaotic and scary times right now. Different yet in some ways like the 1960s. We can choose a path that brings us together or one that destroys us.

  • Mindfulness has many different, yet similar definitions. Dr. Jon Kabat Zinn, the developer of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction defines mindfulness as the awareness that arises through “paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally.”

    My teacher, David Nichtern, the founder of Dharma Moon, an online mindfulness-based education platform and global community, taught that mindfulness is “learning to bring our attention to the present moment and simply seeing what arises without bias or judgment.”

    Although mindfulness is the latest buzzword these days, many have misconceptions regarding practice and benefits. We hope to share a little bit of both during this series.

    In today’s “Stress Talk” with Marcyline, we will share “3 Captivating Benefits Every Woman Enjoys by Practicing Mindfulness.”

  • Ever feel like 'good,' 'bad,' 'sad,' and 'mad' just don't fully capture what you're going through? We've all been there, struggling to say exactly how we're feeling only to end up using just basic words.

    Sometimes those simple words just don't cut it, am I right? Using more descriptive wording will help us to relieve stress and anxiety. It will also help those around us to know how to help us and to provide the support or nurturing that we desire.

    In today’s “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we're diving deeper into the rich vocabulary of emotions. We’ll take an insightful look at more descriptive ways to communicate and share the wide range of emotions we experience as women.

  • May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Stress Talk is committed to demystifying and destigmatizing mental illness. All month we are sharing facts, figures, and features about mental health. Our goal is to help you to better understand how you can take good care of yourself and those you love.

    So many use the terms Mental health and Mental Illness interchangeably. They have different meanings and different actions are warranted. Do you knowthe difference?

    In today’s “Stress Talk” with Marcyline, we are going to review four common mental health terms as we cover “Mental Health ABCs: Decoding Important Terms for Women Over 40.”

  • For an entire month, you have heard me say “when emotions are active, the stress response is active.” Women maintain high stress levels because we are constantly bombarded with situations and events that incite our emotions.

    Why? The limbic system that manages emotions is the same system that manages the stress response.

    In previous episodes, we talked about the connection between emotions and stress. We also shared ways in which women can lower stress and keep it low.

    In today’s “Stress Talk” with Marcyline, we are going to practice passive progressive relaxation as we answer, “How to Release Emotions and Beat Stress with Progressive Relaxation.”

  • The experiences we refer to as emotions can carry us away like a turbulent wave created by a weather system in the ocean. They can create a sentiment within us that is so overpowering that words cannot describe them.

    Emotions give us power and yet they can lead us to self-destruct. There are three questions one can ask. Do we really know or understand how emotions work? Can we describe how they occur? How can we maintain health and wellbeing when they are active?

    In today’s “Stress Talk” with Marcyline, we are going to share “3 healthy mindful actions to share emotions and lower stress.”

  • Anger presents itself in many ways. Do you feel like anger is simmering inside just beneath the surface? Are you afraid that the rolling boil of anger you carry will cause a mess by boiling over? Do you habitually blow up torelease stress only to find it returns with a vengeance?

    All month we are talking about anger and its relationship to the stress response. There is a cost that women (and men) pay for their chronic anger. It affects their lives and wellbeing.
