September is life insurance awareness month. Dr. Aginah tackles this important but often forgotten about topic with insurance agent, Jocelyn Hope of Hope State Farm. Life insurance can help secure your family's financial future after an unexpected death. Purchasing life insurance helps lay the groundwork for financial responsibility and stability so that every new generation will know how important it is to protect their families. During our conversation, we discuss the reasons for securing life insurance; steps to select an agent; and the various types of life insurance options available. Jocelyn is licensed in Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Florida and several additional states.

I can't stress enough, the importance of implementing self-care into our daily lives. As a woman wearing multiple hats, it's often difficult to actually stop to carve out time for myself. The last year or so has been an absolute struggle but I continue to remind myself of the importance of implementing self-care into my life. I know that if I am struggling, then someone else is struggling with this as well. This week, I decided to go back to the vault and pull out some of the tools that can help all of us take the necessary steps to focus on self-care and preservation. This week's episode is a replay of an interview with Dr. Robyn L. Gobin, licensed clinical psychologist, associate professor and author.

In this week's episode of Lite It Up, Dr. Aginah Musherah gives an update on implementing the seven tips shared from last week's episode of managing stress. As a self-proclaimed workaholic, finding time to rest or prioritize self, is often a struggle. Last week, Dr. Aginah managed to incorporate two tips into her routine: #2 Regular exercise (three days during the week) and #3 Rest. After experiencing a week filled with pain due to a medical issue, Dr. Aginah had to finally sit down and rest. The light bulb finally went off that self-preservation is key. The goal for the upcoming week is to implement the other tips into the day-to-day routine. In addition to incorporating the tips for self-preservation, Dr. Aginah also faced another area of growth by learning how to parent from the sidelines. Parenting is the most important job you'll ever have. We have to teach our children everything we can. While we teach our children, we have to also learn how to let go and trust in the fact that we have prepared our children well. It's hard...but you can do it. Here are a few tips to focus on as you begin to parent from the sidelines while giving your children an opportunity to incorporate what you've taught them over the years: 1. Encourage your child/teen. 2. Stay positive. 3. Maintain open communication. 4. Let them do their thing.

LITE It Up is available on Mondays during the month of March in honor of Women's History Month. Dr. Aginah Musherah shares a quote, word of inspiration or mantra to help you start your week on the right track. There are power in our words; and our words help to enhance our mindset. Mindful Monday is a chance to give yourself another way to renew, recharge and rejuvenate. You can replay this bonus episode or simply repeat the quote (or mantra) out loud or quietly to yourself, as often as you like; although I recommend reciting it three times. This week's bonus episode is dedicated to the importance of honoring who you are -- #IAm. I Am, are two of the most powerful words you can say. What you put after them shapes your reality. These two words are used to define who you are and what you are capable of. These words tell you how to feel in your body and your mind. I Am is an expression of the highest aspect of yourself. I challenge you to pay attention not only to your words but your thoughts as well. Each time you use the words “I Am” you are instructing yourself to think, believe, and feel a certain way. You are the only one who gets to decide on the word that comes next, after you declare I Am. You must believe what you tell yourself. You can repeat the "I Am" affirmations as many times are you like. You can also add more based upon your choosing and your desire to manifest it into reality. "There is enough power in the universe, to have everything I’ve ever wanted. I am whole. I am worthy. I am made for greatness. My time is now. It’s time to raise my standards. It’s time to go bigger." Today's affirmation shall serve as an important reminder that we are more than enough and we are more than capable of manifesting our reality as we evolve in our journey.

In this week's episode of Lite It Up, Dr. Aginah Musherah has a soulful conversation with Necole K. Muhammad, LCSW about success, lessons learned in leadership and balance. As women ascend to leadership, often times she does so at the expense of her own well-being. The Super Woman Syndrome has causes so many of us to go through the motions each day on autopilot. During this time, we lose focus of who we are and the elements that make us women. We are busy pouring into others without replenishing ourselves. We discuss Necole's new book, Green Panties, Ulcers & Corns and the anthology Soul Talk VOL. 3. Necole shares lessons to help keep you on track to living your best life in accordance with your values and purpose. Follow & Support Necole K. Muhammad, LCSW by purchasing copies of Green Panties, Ulcers & Corns and Soul Talk VOL. 3: Soul-Stirring Stories of People Who Let Go and Let God, online: www.necolemuhammad.com.
