The Saibatu Mansaray Journey needed some time to reset and focus on self-care. Having lived through a very overachieving career, I need to learn how to stop and smell the roses and that time is NOW.  The world we live in today has set the tone that if you’re not overworking yourself then success will be hard to come by. We tend to label our friends, family members and colleagues as lazy or unmotivated when they are not overwhelming themselves to attain success. No one hardly says take a break, bosses barely ask about the health and welfare of their employees,  leaders and family avoid using a soft approach to motivation, it’s more of a do or die. Ariana Oluwole, a transformational coach, “edupreneur,” and an African woman who has been featured on BBC -focus on Africa and CNN- African Voices for a Change Maker special feature joins me in this episode to chat about self-care and its importance for health and wellbeing. You don’t want to miss:Her perspective on self-care and her journeyHow to normalize and integrate self-care and mental health in schoolsThe mistakes of high-performing individuals leading to burnoutThrough my story and those of my amazing guests, I pray that our message touches the lives of people to be inspired and serve as a catalyst for action. Together we can make a difference and be a light! See you on the Journey!Links and resources:Instagram, Twitter, FaceBook: The Saibatu Mansaray JourneyWebsite: https://www.saibatumansaray.comFaceBook:arianadiariesIG: arianadiariesblogLinkedIn: Ariana OluwoleTwitter: @PikinMamaEmail: info@arianadiaries.comRecommended books: Live and Lead Your Best Life (www.arianadiaries.com) or locally in Sierra Leone at Smart Link Bookshop / Djulaa Concept Studio / Nali Spa / SM Gift EmporiumMake sure you hit SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss out on any of my episodes!And, if you enjoyed this episode, please leave me a rating and a review, THANK YOU!!  Thank you all for tuning into the show!
