Empress MOMologues #6
<p>The Return of the Empress: Reclaiming My Space, My Voice, and My Wellness.**</p><p>Whatās up, queens, Empresses, and goddesses? Itās your girl, Empress Iman, and donāt hate me, but I know itās been the longest minute since you heard my voice. But Iām good, Iām back, and Iām ready to jump back in. Iāve been off for quite a while now. I donāt even want to compute how many months itās been. But I feel the energy, and I realize itās time to re-engage with my space.</p><p>When I first started this journey, I think I set the bar exponentially higher than I should have as a newcomer to the realm of vlogging and content creation. As an educator, I naturally lean towards super-structured approaches. However, I was warned that at the beginning, I really needed to be more free-flowing. So, Iām returning to what was easiest for me: these Empress Monologues. This is where you simply listen to me, if you please, chitchat about whatās on my mind, heart, and soul.</p><p>The Seasonal Shift and Personal Cycles</p><p>Weāve just jumped into spring, and after all the fluctuations, sheās finally here. As a Cancer, Iām deeply affected by the seasons, in both the best and worst ways. I thrive in spring and summer, maybe even early fall. But the minute that chill sets in, you can count me out. I need to retreat into my shell, hibernate, and thatās just my reality. I donāt know if youāve ever recognized this about yourself. The cycles of life and how they work for you and against you. But itās something Iāve only just started to understand. And I took some time to ensure my understanding was rooted in truth, not just in my head. This is why itās been such a long while.</p><p>Itās been since about December of 2025 that I havenāt posted. Thatās a long time! Now itās May, and weāre fully in the swing of spring. The calendar for events has been dropping left and right out here in Brooklyn and the whole Tri-State area. When I say Tri-State, I literally mean New York City, Jersey, and Philly, because I donāt really venture to Connecticut much. But hey, I hear itās nice. I might try it out if something interesting is happening.</p><p>Whatās Been Happening: The Good, The Bad, and The Meh</p><p>Iām just excited to feel ready to be back and speak. A lot has happened: a lot of good, a lot of absolutely terrible, and a lot of just meh. But today, I wanted to jump on because something has been heavy on my mind: fitness. This is something I really want to transition my focus on for my platform. Itās about fitness, physical, and mental health, and how theyāre all connected. Not as an expert, but as a person whoās experiencing it and wants to share my journey, as well as the experiences of other women, other mothers, who have sought strength as their sanctuary.</p><p>A New Year, New Habits: My Experiment with Sobriety</p><p>When it comes to cannabis, I decided not to partake. I already had a ritual of abstaining in winter because if you experience seasonal affective disorder (SAD), as Iāve spoken about before, and youāre also smoking, thatās a double whammy to drag you down into the pits of Hades. I recognized that pattern and decided to disengage.</p><p>Now, fast forward to the beginning of spring. Normally, this is when Iād consider picking it up again. But Iām not feeling motivated to do so. Iāve noticed many others in my age bracket are doing the same, saying, āYeah, I donāt feel like engaging with weed anymore.ā Thereās talk about āspray weed,ā about dispensary products not being what they used to be. Honestly, the dispensary experience just wasnāt the same as, no lie, getting it from the YNās on the corner. Itās not the same. So, I havenāt really engaged at all. Thatās not to say I wonāt test the waters, which I have last month, it definitely wonāt be dispensary stuff. So, while not a commitment, Iām not really smoking.</p><p>Then I realized I hadnāt consumed alcohol at all this whole year, 2026. March, I was in Philly for the DiversiTech conference by Tribaja. I had two drinks. They werenāt strong, but they definitely left me feeling weak. I didnāt get a hangover, but my body felt like, āWhat did you do to us?ā The next day, I was in a trance; I just didnāt feel like myself.</p><p>From Realization to Innovation: The Birth of BodTea</p><p>And now, I know youāre all wondering, āWhere is she going with this?ā With that, I ended up creating an app. Yes, you heard that right! An app! Make it make sense, right?</p><p>I made this app called <a target="_blank" href="https://bodtea.life/">BodTea</a>. Heavy on the TEA. </p><p>This app was born from a long-standing idea. Iāve been thinking about creating a fitness app for a while. This isnāt my original grand vision, which Iāll still get to eventually, but this is my first one, and itās built with *you* all in mind: my mamas.</p><p>The 90-Day BodTea Challenge: Your Sanctuary in Strength</p><p>I started a 90-day challenge. Itās already started, and I feel bad that Iām late in bringing it to you, but here I am! The challenge is designed around two standard workouts: push-ups and marching obliques. Itās a ābuild your ownā challenge, allowing you to customize it to your fitness level.</p><p>The two core workouts are:</p><p><p>1. Push-ups: A fundamental strength exercise.</p><p>2. Marching Obliques:March, then turn. March, turn. This activates your obliques, helping to sculpt those nice V-lines and hip dips for the summer. It engages your legs and abs, especially when you maintain that mind-muscle connection.</p></p><p>Now, about the alcohol part. That was the other component: no drinking and no smoking at all for the duration of the challenge. Take me as a testament: I did it one time, and my body did not respond well. I didnāt respond well. I feel itās imperative to remind women that, while this is *your* challenge, and if a glass of wine or your favorite Prosecco is truly your cup of tea, Iām not here to hate on you for it. The challenge is for you, a space to help you hold yourself accountable and build community.</p><p>However, I truly feel we should take a break from these habits and explore more natural alternatives. There are fantastic mocktails out there using herbs and fruits that offer medicinal and experiential benefits without the damaging effects. Iāll be doing some research on these and sharing them within the BodTea group.</p><p>Personalizing Your Wellness Journey</p><p>The challenge also provides a space for you to set your *own* three personal commitments. For example, my commitments are to:</p><p><p>* Make BodTea feel like a true community.</p><p>* Dance every day.</p><p>* Drink more water.</p></p><p>So, you might be thinking, āAlcohol got you to make an app, girl?ā If you know me, you know I love being in tech spaces. It brings me joy, it brings me life. Lately, itās been so much fun teaching people how to make apps, and how to create automations for their jobs. Learn more over at <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/profimanalgebraantics">Iman the Polymath</a> </p><p>Looking Ahead: Slow and Steady Wins the Race</p><p>Thereās so much more I want to share with yāall. But this was one of those car rides from going home to picking up the baby, and Iāve got to go love on her now. I will be back, and Iām really excited.</p><p>Again, Iām going to be taking it slow. For now, it will be these voice notes, with articles to follow as a recap. I donāt want to put too much on you all; we all have a lot on our plates.</p><p>Join the Community: Letās Grow Together!</p><p>Share, engage! Tell me what youāre up to. I truly want this to be a two-way street, not just a dumping ground. I want this to be a space for growth, bonding, and connection for us women, especially those in our 30s, especially us 90s babies. 35 and up, where you at?</p><p>Ready to reclaim your power and join a supportive community focused on wellness? Download the <a target="_blank" href="https://bodtea.life/">BodTea</a> app today and start your 90-day challenge! Find your strength, find your sanctuary.</p><p>I hope you all have a blessed day, and Iāll see you next time. Love you all.</p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
