Emotions of the Mind: Breaking the CycleWith the suicide deaths of Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain and the emotional distress of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Ryan Tedder, it is evident that we the people are suffering from mental health illness and emotional distress.
It’s not just plaguing celebrities, but it has reached down into lives of today’s youth and even everyday heroes. We have finally taken notice that society as a whole is suffering because of what we don’t know about mental and emotional health. Now that the big names have gotten our attention, we are open to receive the information needed and it’s my desire to help us all understand the issues. With a schizophrenic dad and a narcissistic ex-husband, I have been given some insider clues as to what the mind of the mentally ill and the emotionally distressed looks and sounds like and I’ve decided to share my knowledge and my story in my book. Let’s get better, together! |

I also appreciate Mrs. Todd for sharing her true life experiences with us. I feel that this book will help others recognize it through behavior. Thank you Tamela C. Todd for this stepping stone!!!!" |
"I really enjoyed this book. I appreciated Tamela's transparency into her life and how open she was about Mental Illness. Also, I love how she has taken her love for reading to inspire Brown Girls to also discover the love of reading. Keep rising to the top Tamela." |
"This book was one of the best book I read in awhile. The author went into details about her past and present relationships and how she overcome mental health issues in her life and why it's important to seek help for yourself and your family. Mental illness is such a hush topic but it need to be spoke out aloud!" |
Self-Care for EntrepreneursWhen you embark on the journey of becoming an entrepreneur, the lines between work and life can get pretty blurry, especially if you work out of a home office. You begin to forget that there’s life outside of the pile of work in front of you, it happens to all of us and isn’t something to beat yourself up over. However, it is something to be cognizant of because burnout is real and will happen if you’re not careful.
Practicing self-care as an entrepreneur is essential in ensuring you’re staying healthy and reaching your maximum productivity. Nurture yourself and your legacy! |
