What does it mean to live a holistic lifestyle? It means to think of yourself as a whole person and recognize that everything in your life, everything in this world is connected. And, in this episode of Bet On Yourself, Sis!, my guest Fatima Mathews dives deeper into this concept. Fatima is a Holistic Lifestyle curator, and she helps people of color develop lifestyles that prioritize physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

Today Fatima shares her process of helping clients build sustainable lifestyles, the role of yoga, and the importance of community resources. Our conversation also delves into entrepreneurship as a means of freedom for women of color, Fatima's personal journey, and the critical connection between mental health and lifestyle choices. Together, we highlight the importance of mental health advocacy, personal empowerment through yoga, and the significance of self-awareness in recognizing signs of mental distress. We discuss how yoga can serve as a powerful tool for mental health, emphasizing the need for individuals to find their own path in wellness practices. We also touch on the importance of authenticity in the wellness industry and the necessity of a mindset shift towards valuing health over wealth.

Fatima also gives some AMAZING resources, especially for those of us wanting to buy Black and keep those coins circulating in our communities!
