MOMologue Overview:
In this Empress MOMologue, I’m taking you through my unfiltered thoughts during my lunch, sharing reflections inspired by my first day in the follicular phase of my cycle. I’m reclaiming my time, my hair care, and my energy while being intentional about planning life around my body’s natural rhythms. From recognizing where my fear of sharing ideas comes from to celebrating small wins like mastering DIY beauty techniques, this episode is all about embracing growth, self-rediscovery, and intentionality as a mother.
What’s Inside:
1. Cycle Tracking & Self-Awareness
• Understanding the follicular phase as “inner spring” – a time for reawakening, planning, and revitalized energy.
• How tracking my cycle will help me stay intentional with my energy, tasks, and self-care routines.
2. Reflection on Motherhood and Legacy
• My fear of sharing ideas and where it stems from: witnessing my mother’s previously untapped potential as a single mom.
• Redefining my own journey as a mother and giving myself grace to execute my dreams.
3. Beauty Routines & Self-Care
• Why I’m focusing on my hair again: “My hair is my superpower.”
• Clip-ins: Styles I love (braids in the front with clip-ins in the back).
• DIY Lash Clusters: How I mastered easy lashes for busy moms.
4. Planning Around My Cycle
• Using my follicular phase to re-center, plan styles, gym routines, and self-care habits.
• Drawing inspiration from Lotus La Loba, who has mentioned briefly in her teaching how to plan life in alignment with your body’s natural rhythms.
5. Rethinking Failures as Learning
• Why I’m reframing “failed ideas” as R&D—everything is a learning process, and I’m proud of my entrepreneurial attempts.
