In Evolving While Black, Lomax--renowned life coach and "Chief Happiness Curator"--shares a guide to help Black women achieve authentic happiness and liberation on their own terms. By shifting the culturally constrained language and perspective from which mindfulness and self-care practices are normally presented, she breaks down barriers and invites us to bring the power of these evidence-based teachings into our lives, families, and communities. This joyous book paves the way for personal growth, presenting bite-size actions that lead to healing, confidence, self-efficacy, and, most importantly, true self-love. Lomax offers practices, challenges, and reflections in each chapter, exploring topics such as:
- Self-awareness and self-love--deepening your understanding to find the roots of both your challenges and your gifts
- The impact of ancestors--understanding how your history and your genes shape your life
- The power of mindset--discovering limiting beliefs and shaping new mindsets that lead to flourishing
- Boundaries--rescuing time and peace of mind with healthy boundaries
- Habit change--identifying habits that hold you back and how to make new habits that last
- Intuition--connecting with your inner knowing and setting meaningful life goals
- Life balance--finding your own combination of hustle and flow
With no-bull bravery, honesty, and warmth, Evolving While Black welcomes us into a flourishing space of growth and self-discovery.
Chianti Lomax is a sought-after international speaker, certified coach, transformation strategist, certified workplace mindfulness facilitator, and positive psychology practitioner. She teaches doable habit changes to help increase our well-being and elevate the overall human experience.
