What is Living SLFSHLY?

Welcome to SLFSHLY, a new platform for the everyday Black Woman.

SLFSHLY exists as a space for you to be intentional about the way you live your life.

So let’s get into it…what is living SLFSHLY?

I am actually going to start with what SLFSHLY is not. You may hear the word ‘selfish’ and understandably think of its negative connotations. And rightfully so; being legitimately selfish is not our ministry here. Instead, we promote a way of life in which you prioritize self-care as a mechanism to better serve yourself and others. SLFSHLY is a reminder to be self-centered in a healthy way. We fully believe in the “put your oxygen mask on first” mentality (even though we know it is hard)… because how can you show up for others (as your best self) without first prioritizing your own wellness?

As Black Women, we carry so much! In addition to being matriarchs and career-driven, we are also at the forefront of combating injustices against our communities. It’s a lot! And sometimes we lose ourselves in our pursuit of excellence. Living SLFSHLY puts you at the center of things to ensure that your essence is preserved. At SLFSHLY, we are ultimately striving for happiness and satisfaction in life.

So, how can you live SLFSHLY?

It all starts here, in this moment—welcome to the beginning of your SLFSH journey.

  • Read the stories we post featuring everyday women choosing themselves while still serving others.
  • Reflect on your own passion and determine whether you are living in it. If not, take one small step toward doing so (I’m betting you already know what that step is).
  • Follow us on Instagram to stay connected.

What to expect from the SLFSHLY platform:

  • Our growing healer directory featuring Black wellness practitioners.
  • More stories on all things SLFSH.
  • Coming soon:
    • Meditations and yoga practices for you to quickly get your mind right.
    • In-person meet-ups: as we grow and heal together, we are also going to celebrate together.

Thank you for reading and don’t forget to live SLFSHLY!
