Quote of the Week
“Crisis leads to self discovery.”
-Lyz Kayla, one of the first Self Maed™️ graduates!
Happy Friday!
Life is but a dream, amirite?!
This week I’ve just been overjoyed and really proud of myself. So so proud of how I treat myself, how I treat others, how I treat my biz, how I treat my mind…allodat.
I’m finishing up the intense meal plan partie deux and I’m hype about finishing, yet kinda nervous. I don’t remember what it feels like to not have a strict eating plan so I guess I’m unsure of how to navigate things.
I went to the doctor for the 11th time in a month yesterday for my wrap up appointment and through ozone therapies and strategic eating, my body rid itself of a shit ton (no pun intended) of parasites, candida, acid and miscellaneous viruses. I have a bit of inflammation and stress lingering, but for the most part, I did that shit.
In just 4 weeks without taking any bullshit pills or antibiotics.
This has been the greatest health experience of my LIFE. And I’m so so proud of myself for taking care of the foundation and not just throwing drugs at the problem, the way we were Amaericans were raised to do.
I’m mostly proud of myself for continuing to ignore outside opinions about my body and doing WHAT WORKS FOR ME.
To anyone reading this, especially the women and ESPECIALLY Black women, please continue to do what works for your body and you do not need to explain your choices to anyone. Your body is yours no matter what others try to tell you.
I’ve been told it’s unhealthy to be a vegetarian, I’ve been told it’s foolish to be a nomad, I’ve been told it’s unsustainable to be my own boss and I’ve been told it’s too dangerous not living in Amaerica, but…I did all that shit anyway and my life gets better every single day.
Do. What. You. Want. Your life is yours and I hope you don’t waste it trying to make other people happy.
Before you write a list of all your grandest desires…
Let’s dive in — there’s a lot this week!
- “As a pessimist you get to be right. As an optimist you get to be rich.”
- Osama Bin Laden’s dad, Mohammed Bin Laden was worth FIVE BILLION AMAERICAN DOLLARS when he died. Osama, as the 17th child, inherited $25–30 million.
- You know I love conman and scammer stories! This series is soooo good and gets better with each episode. It’s only 2 episodes in so I considered not telling you about it until it was done, but I’d rather you suffer with me as I wait for new epis. 😈
- Lewis Hamilton, being the sexy ass icon that he is, bought a whole table at the Met Gala to host all Black designers. Why get a seat at the table when you can buy the whole fucking table?! 👏🏾
- Instagram is launching “favorites” to prioritize what you see in your feed even though…WE JUST WANT OUR CHRONOLOGICAL FEEDS BACK.
- “People never rise above their opinions of themselves.” And that’s why I only surround myself with people who have a high-opinion of me AND themselves.
- “We prefer familiar hells over unknown heavens.” Here is a super cute and quick podcast about unapologetically creating your dream life.
- Have you been following the rise and fall of Theranos? Again, I love scammer stories so I’ve been invested invested.
- This man is me crying my eyes out while trying to tell a fun story.
- This woman created a grocery store within a school for families in need and this is community impact GOALS!
- You peep how he didn’t yell at his kid for simply repeating something he heard and calmly corrected him? Parenting goals.
- Anyone with common sense could have avoided this tragedy of an idea.
What’s up with me?
- Bootcamp is done so it’s rewards time! I’m a city girl, I’m a beach bum, I’m a mountain maevan, but most of all, I’m a jungle baby! I’m off to the Maexican jungle for a week with an empty schedule. So excited!
- It’s become apparent that although this is my dream life, I haven’t been proactively creating peace. I do a great job at dealing with things as they come, but I want to dedicate more time to scheduling peace into my life. For me, this looks like more time offline, more time in places that inspire peace and unapologetically creating boundaries for people who constantly question my goals and ideal lifestyle. I know that the way I live, eat, work, think and move doesn’t work for a lot of people, but it works for me and that’s all that matters. ❤️
- Now that the first bootcamp is done, I feel inclined to remind myself that my business works for me and not the other way around. I’m so proud of myself for managing such intense meal plans and so. many. calls, but now it’s time to refine my business goals. Just in time for the new year!
Track of the Week
I cannot stop playing this on repeat. Like I need an intervention. A Tems x Brent Faiyaz collabo is what I never knew I needed. Also, do you hear the Bachata vibe? Obsessed. Listen on…
Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube
That’s it for me! I’m off to tidy my apartment, take an intro call with a coach and then my favorite time of the week — a 90-minute massage in my living room with a sexy Cuban man.
I look forward to creating the weekend of my dreams with a balance of work and rest. The usual. Whatever I do, it will because I want to do it and if that’s not a sign that this is the life of my dreams, IDK what is.
Stay unapologetic,
Maegan
