Welcome to 2023 part 2! The last few years have been quite an experience; would you agree? From Covid, the pandemic, cultural events, overwhelming deaths, racial tension, economic strain, and way too many things to even begin to list. I feel like as we went into the new year, there was an expectation that many had that this would be the year that would be just a little bit lighter. The year that brings a little more joy, the year that gives us more to celebrate than things we grieve

As I engaged with different women over the last year, one thing kept coming up, CHANGE! Everyone was ready for change, including myself My motto when it comes to seeking transition in life is “change is inevitable, transformation is a choice ” I know I don’t just want things to change or be different, I want to live a transformed life. I want to evolve in such a way, going back to the way I was, who I used to be and how I previously lived, is basically impossible

Last year in my private online group “The UnCaiged Life” we talked about transformation and what was necessary to achieve it. Mindset, new habits, environment shift, consistency, and discipline just to name a few. These types of things do not just bring about change but help you develop a new lifestyle, which in turn, creates transformation. You don’t just want things to be different, you want to create a new lifestyle so that the changes actually STICK! It becomes permanent, it is a new way of living.

We are continuing our pursuit of our transformation journeys as we are moving further into the second half of 2023. Not just seeing change but pursuing transformation We are transforming our mindset, health, lifestyle and ultimately our entire lives ut in my private online community The UnCaiged Life”, is the power of healing in order to activate your transformation journey.

This issue is dedicated to creating and living a transformed life With intentional focus, discipline and execution, the rest of 2023 can be the year your life makes a complete 360! Transform your mind, transform your lifestyle, transform your life!

Both healing and transformation require effort and intentional action, and can involve selfreflection, therapy, personal development, and spiritual practices. Ultimately, the goal of both healing and transformation is to live a happier, more fulfilling life, free from the constraints of past experiences or negative patterns of thinking.

Healing and transformation are closely related concepts that involve personal growth and change. Healing refers to the process of overcoming negative experiences or emotions from the past, such as trauma or grief, and restoring one's well-being and inner peace.

Transformation, on the other hand, refers to a profound change in one's life, such as a shift in perspective, beliefs, or values.

Choosing healing refers to the process of making a deliberate and intentional effort to overcome negative experiences, emotions, or traumas from the past and move forward in a positive and healthy manner. This can involve seeking professional help, participating in therapy, engaging in self-care practices, and focusing on personal growth and selfimprovement. The goal of choosing healing is to promote well-being and happiness, and to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.
