This episode will wrap up my Healthy U Series with the topic, "A Spiritual Health Check: I Have Fallen and Am Trying to Get Back Up." As a Christian, I could not cover a Healthy U Series without a conversation about spiritual health, which, for me and many others, is just as important as our mental and physical health. My guests, Pastors Ed and Evette Clemons, are Campus Pastors at Focus Church (South Campus), Garner, NC. They have been married for 17 years and are the parents of their son, Elias Jordan. They are ambassadors for Christ, marriage coaches, and adoption advocates. They also love to travel. Pastors Ed and Evette Clemmons came into my life during one of the most spiritually challenging times I've had as an adult. I'll share that story during the podcast. I look forward to the Clemons sharing their personal journey and the wisdom they gained from it. As pastors and true to who they are, they will also provide guidance around getting back up if you have been struggling spiritually.

Oftentimes, when we think of our mental health, we immediately associate it with our personal lives and relationships. However, managing your mental health is just as important in the workplace. What are you doing to ensure your mental health is in check? Join my guests and me, Dr. Renee Johnson Manneh (Renee Manneh), Co-Founder and Executive Director, of Renewed Strength Counseling Services, and Blaise Harris (aka THE Dope Black Therapist) Owner and Clinician, G Squared Consulting and Counseling Services, PLLC as we engage in a heartfelt conversation for episode 2 of my Health U Series, titled "Your Mental Health Matters EVEN in the Workplace". We'll share our personal journeys, and as usual, I'll also ask them about their lessons learned. They'll also provide tips on ways to manage workplace-related stress. Set your alarm and mark your calendar for Wednesday, May 29th. It's time for the next episode or Real Conversations with Michelle. Want to create live streams with a platform that is user-friendly?

Let's face it - there are a lot of stressors that many of us experience in life, and one for sure is when finances are not where you want them to be. Stress can wreak havoc on our overall health. Therefore, it should not be surprising that improving finances is among the top 5 resolutions made for 2024, according to the Forbes Health survey (#2 to be exact). I am excited to have Elroy and Robin Seegars, financial coaches and CEOs of Gifted Generations, LLC, join me on this next episode of RCwM. If you need some encouragement and tips for keeping your finances in order, you want to tune into this episode. Elroy and Robin will also share about their financial wellness journey, which I'm sure will be a blessing to someone out there.
