Welcome to May šŗ The Season of Becoming

Thereās 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 awakeningāa 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 Becomingā Restoring Balance, Beauty & Purpose After 40ā a time to return to balance, rediscover beauty on our own terms, and remember that itās never too late to redefine purpose.
Who I Am (And Why Iām Speaking to You)
If we havenāt met yetāhi, Iām Jessica, a Black woman, mother, wellness educator, and the founder of The Self-Care Studio. I created this space for women like usāthose navigating midlife, identity shifts, and reinvention with soul, softness, and intention.
Iām not writing from a mountaintop. Iām right here in the messy middle, too.
And everything I share this monthāI’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.
