Dr. Sonja brings forth the guiding factors that will enable women to step and stay in the area of being powerful--setting boundaries which is critical when you are operating your business of service and staying on top of your mental health. I never considered my mental health until I went through the pandemic and realized I was in a state of depression. To be on top of your game as a powerful woman, you must have clarity. Setting boundaries and having your mental health in check are of utmost importance to stay on top. I loved her quote from Abe Lincoln, "A great leader leads from the front and not the back or side. Where do I want to be in the next 12 months--accomplished my goal of $250K and fully retired from my job.
I am totally aligned with this. As a result of Dr. Sonja's CTM bootcamp, I have started to outline an offer for my ideal clients - women in leadership looking to be empowered. Self care was the first course module, because as women, we tend to multitask, pour into others, and neglect ourselves and our own health.
I love this. You are speaking my language Dr. Sonja. I consider self-care a part of self-leadership. I have learned the hard way that setting boundaries is essential to achievement and to having a balanced life.
Right on point! Health is wealth. Healthy you = Healthy relationships.
You said "The people who follow you, determine if you are a good leader". I always want to be cognizant of how I lead and impact others. Dropping gems as always.
Reaching out and getting help, having boundaries, praying, doing what you need to do to be your best so that you can go slay dragons. I love it so much and needed to hear it.
Dr Sonja once again you hit the nail on the head! How can you possibly build someone else up when you’re torn to pieces yourself! IMPOSSIBLE! Great leaders understand that you must lead yourself first before you can lead anyone else. This is serious truth!
Thanks Dr Sonja!🥰
This resonates on all levels. I love that you opened with boundaries specifically with our children. Thank you for all your content 🙏🙏
Sometimes we over extend ourselves creating stresses and developing enabling habits. Setting boundaries and being mindful of our mindset will help to ensure healthy living and boundaries within in your life and coaching business. Truth be told it will create healthier relationships in every party of your life. Thank you for sharing Dr. Stribling. Right on time.
I concur wholeheartedly with these powerful women adages. Mental health and boundaries are important when planning for success in life and in business. Thank you for your insights, Dr. Sonja!
There's so much wisdom to unpack in this. We must learn to set boundaries for sure. The answer to our problems is not always "go to church" and "pray about it". Sometimes we need the help of other professionals, especially mental health. True leaders have the courage to be authentic and transparent. They tell the truth in love as you do so well. Thank you, Dr. Sonja!
I just wrote a blog about this. I had a problem with saying no until it broke me. Now I have no problem saying no and setting boundaries for my mental wellbeing.
I like to commend you Dr. Sonja this discussion on setting boundaries, taking care of your mental health and surrounding oneself with positive people with like mindsets. I worked for the Department of Defense as a civilian in a supervisory capacity for twenty-seven years and during my first few years of service, I quickly learned the importance of taking care of my mental health. I empowered myself to take a mental health day every six to eight weeks. On that mental health day, I would often drive with a friend who had a positive attitude to North Georgia Mountains. Also, during that time I had a great leader, a full bird, as my supervisor. He taught me a lot on being an effective leader.
I am taking notes as I listen. I am walking in this new season of life and I am thankful you have been a catalyst for what is happening in my life. Thank you Dr. Sonja…thank you
Be around people who speak life into you! Therapy is necessary. “Taking care of yourself gives you the opportunity to be a better leader!” You don’t decide if you’re a good leader, your followers do! All of thissssss! Thank you, Dr. Sonja. -Aisha Hammonds ❤
Leading from the front stood out for me. Once a leader begins to manage rather than leade all respect is lost. I must always do the work... thank you mentor!
Incredible message - much needed and a great reminder on mental health and boundary setting as a priority! With this, comes having to say "no" and disappointing people. We have to be ok with that! We have to put ourselves first, our mental health first and our overall wellness FIRST. Really appreciate this!
These are really important topics in all aspects and is so necessary for everyone to understand. I had to do a total reset, gave so much of me away to others in the way of help but it wasn’t reciprocated…not that I did it for that reason though. Finally setting boundaries, guarding my mental health and giving everything and everyone back to God to handle freed me!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 A company cannot survive without a balanced leader.
Thank you! Dr. Sonya you operate in such the Spirit of excellence 😊 ❤
Boundaries is self care! That's what I have to work on.
This is soo top of mind for me. I am a black women, on chapter 58. I have 7 children, 5 bio, 2 bonus and 7 lil grannies. A wife, business owner, a long with all the other hats I wear. Constantly pushing myself to meet all the needs and expectations of me. This truly affects my mental health not to mention my physical health. While I love my husband, my children, my business, my life, it can get heavy sometimes. I have to the check in with myself, I have to take a moment to check in to assure Im taking care of myself. I give so much of myself to the point Im giving from a empty cup. Which is not good so I make sure to check-in to re-up on my mental energy through prayer, meditation, therapy . So that I stay healthy for the task ahead. To always be my best self and on top of #mindingmybusiness as a #Powerfulwoman. Thank you Dr. Sonja for your words of encouragement and empowerment. We sometimes forget to set boundaries so that we can take care of what we need. So thank you for helping ME to remember to put my oxegen mask on first. ....#Mentalhealth
It is good to know there are those who see the challenges and are attempting to provide the avenue to self-heal and how to demonstrate to others the steps involved. :)
Thanks for a well rounded program that addresses multiple areas of life.
I love the message. The importance of setting and maintaining boundaries can make a huge difference in our capacity to do the work today and into the future. This is a great message and an essential tool that we must possess when working with others. Thanks for leading us with such great integrity Dr. Sonja. You cover all of the bases. I am so very excited to see how my life and business will shift and grow under your program.
I must have an environment around me who can speak life into me. Taking care of myself gives me an opportunity to take better care of myself so that I can lead better. A great leader leads from the front
Sooooo important!!!
Setting boundaries is one of those things I have to consistently remind and give myself permission to do. Thank you for the support.
It is important to have a mental health self care plan. We usually put everyone ahead of ourselves. I have to set boundaries if I want to be a successful leader
This video was yet another confirmation for me. I absolutely listen to my inner goddess when she speaks and had begun setting my boundaries in every area of my life back September. I love when you don't know why you are doing something but later the answer becomes apparent as to why. It was time for me to leave that kitchen table where I was wasn't being fed and join another one because when you sit down at the table with winners, the conversation is fulfilling and of substance to grow. I've taken my seat at the table and I'm ready to hear and be heard! #Powerfulwomen...CLEAR!
I love my mind and my mental health is worth fighting for. I Love my sons but finally realized I need to definitely let go and let God and set boundaries.
Healthy boundaries are necessary in life and in business. I have to be willing to teach others how to treat me. And it starts with boundaries.
Thanks for your generosity. See you at the KTC and see at the top.
Thank you Dr.Sonja, I needed to hear this message today because my 29 year old daughter sent me a card with my granddaughter picture inside, & the front of the card says Power and Purpose! The inside says I know it, and I hope you do to. I need to learn structure strategy, and the system!
Wow! I never knew anything about setting boundaries, until I needed to set them all around myself. Thank you 🙏🏾 Dr. Sonja 💯❤️
Such a powerful and on target message that is sometimes missed especially in arenas where we tend to focus on brain power. I appreciate and resonate with you sounding the alarm on setting boundaries. They say people treat us the way we allow them to, so making boundaries a part of our MO is needed to prevent us from experiencing unnecessary stressors that impact our mental wellness and our ability to succeed in business.
Wow this message really hit home for me. One of my struggles I face today is having a grown child that I need to set boundaries and let go and let God handle it. Thank you for making feel better of my decision of wanting to do it. Also yes my mental health is all over the place and I did once let the others around me made me feel some type of way but lately I am learning people who hates easily deflect they issues on others and for many many years I allowed it and I believe that is why I am not as successful as I want to be. I let the thoughts of others make me feel like I was not good enough when I knew deep down I was good but must not be since they didnt say it. I hate it took me to get to 39 years old to see this but I am so glad I did. Ill take the next year making it up to myself.
What a powerful message! 🏆Our mental health is so important- personally and in business! Specifically in business, when you try to help someone as much as you can and they either digress or still aren’t satisfied- it can feel hurtful and overwhelming- but the Lord is my strength! I will continue to walk in my purpose and keep moving forward with a millionaire mindset!🌺🙏🏽🙌 See you in day 5 tomorrow Dr Sonja!
This is all so true! It took me a long time to grasp the understanding and application of creating boundaries. It will quickly identify those who are only looking to hold space with you if you are executing their agenda at your expense.🙏 On the topic of mental health, I am SOOOOO glad you are talking about this. There is simply not enough socializing and normalizing of the importance of taking care of your mental (beyond prayer) in so many spaces, but definitely in the business space. It is so refreshing to hear you discuss it. Lastly, your words of wisdom on leadership are words I live by. When I have my meet and greet with new employees in my 9 to 5, I consistently regurgitate that my position gives me the responsibility but does not provide me the title of leadership. I tell them all that the title of "leader" is stowed upon me by the person sitting in front of me and all those I am placed in my position to serve. I so appreciate you and all you're doing to help others be the best version of themselves in the life they desire to live.💓🌹💪
So the words and pearls that are spoken and given. I want to receive and I am receiving. when we talk about balance and boundaries. I see it as definitely improving my mental health. My physical health not just through prayer. But being an environment with like-minded. People who cannot only speak life into me but unto me. . here with the boundaries where you need to protect your mind. Your body and your soul from hurt Harmon danger. But at the same time you need to build up. Put on that full body armor and make sure you let other people know who you are and who's you are. I'm looking now that I need to be the best me that I can be. I want to do everything that I can to be that greater person so 6 months from now. Now I can look back and really see how far I've come. I need the opportunity to be able to lead and to grow and I need to nurture that and build it. I need to come to grips with what I need to do and the person that I want to be. I want to unleash the new me. I wanna leave all the old. Naysayers behind me and really use it as a stepping Stone to show them how much better I can be and everything that you said to put me down. I'm going to use it to build myself back up. I want to thank doctor Sonia for everything. Seeing things in a different light and a new light in a better light. And even knowing that I can be a better person better than what? Other people have said about me. and again to know. Everybody is not gonna like you and with them. Not liking, you shows that you're doing something right. And I want to thank you for that. Also I truly look forward to each and every time. I'm able to converse with anyone in the group along with hearing doctor Sonya's voice cause it is very impactful and extremely powerful. I am working extremely long hours in a day. But I still have to put aside time to build me. So here I am at 4 o'clock in the morning. Just coming in from work. And I have to be app by 630 to go back to work. And I'm not saying this as an excuse to not. Do what I need to do. But I am looking at this if I want to stop working like I am now. I need to build my business. So again I thank you. And I look forward. God bless everyone.❤
I spy a Myles Munroe Book ❤ one of my Favorites. Thank you for sharing all these golden nuggets !
We definitely need boundaries.. I Knew I needed them to be even stronger when I started my business. I realized that I needed extra training in this area so I got my Boundary setting certification earlier this year and implemented it in my coaching program
Absolutely!❤
💛This message. It resonates with me. Thank you for sharing
Powerful women recognize that mental health is important, give things to God and set Healthy Boundaries; being able to stand my ground;
I would love to hear your completed version of this conversation. I thought I was alone with some of the journey, then, I spoke with two of my female friends with adult children and they too, was encountering similar and yet appearing to be the same challenging areas. Hmmm! I told my friends... it must be in the water. :) Boundaries and letting go... encapsulated in love and protection... yes thank you... I agree. :)🌻
Amen, I believe this word is for me!
It's a SIGN 💯
❤❤❤❤
🙏❤
The professionals are God's own as well.
Yuppp lol I know 🤣
I am still struggling with boundaries with my adult children. In 2024 Im gone be real selfish.
For our culture, mental health therapy has not been encouraged in our homes. We have 5 generations in our family and as generation 2 I have set the model that its ok to get help. Setting boundaries is a life saving process. Being powerful requires setting boundaries and enforcing them. It can be heart breaking setting them but not setting them will put you 6 feet underground.
