Women will be honored this month. Women from all walks of life expressing and sharing their hearts, their vulnerability, as well as their strength. Today we honor Patrice J., Founder of Bath and Beauty Box, a monthly subscription box that is filled with the most amazing products for self care.
How does Patrice Define Resilience?
When Patrice was in the midst of her divorce she learned some valuable lessons. One divorce doesn’t define you. So many women see divorce as a death process and in a way it is. You die from the part of you that no longer exists. What comes from it is a new woman who can live her life on her own terms. This shedding and rebirth is sometimes needed to help many thrive. When you embrace the journey you soon realize who you become!
Grace is Sufficient
Patrice describes her divorce as painful but quickly learned to give herself grace. Being deeply depressed she had to learn herself all over again! With the help and guidance of her therapist she learned how to love herself. One of the lessons that her therapist showed her was that “you aren’t your situation!” Simply put, nothing you have going on can define you. You are more than the loss of a relationship, job, or situationship. She learned to live with intention and applies the same grace daily.
Younger Patrice
Have you ever written a note to your younger self? I have it’s extremely therapeutic. As you mature and live life, you realize that the things you placed in a high level of importance really don’t have the same amount of weight later on in life! Patrice realized too that she wished she had lived a more spontaneous life and traveled more after college including internationally. Listen, to anyone who is reading this, as soon as the pandemic is over and it’s safe, get those passport stamps. Life is too short not to see the world. Since Patrice has more structure these days, she tries her best to incorporate spontaneity.
Inspiration Comes in Many Forms
The things that we love the most can also be exactly what draws daily inspiration. For Patrice it’s not just her children but her family. She is blessed to have a family that supports and helps each other. Not everyone has that great support system. When you have support it makes the world smaller and blessed. Support reminds you how loved you are and that you are seen and cared for! She wants to say thank you to her family for the love and support that they have given and without judgment!
Daily Motivation
There’s no way you can exist without having some moving motivate you! We need daily reasons to wake up. For some that motivation is hard to focus on. This is why we do our best to remind you that you have so much to live for. For Patrice her children are her motivation. She has realized so much more how much being able to enjoy and watch them grow means the world. Covid-19 has helped a lot of parents see the love for their children. I hope that Love is truly defined more and more everyday! Her business is a family business. She hustles for her children and wants them to see the success and hard work it takes to run it!
What’s Patrice’s Super Power?
Patrice’s super power is words of affirmation. Let me say if you haven’t tapped into it you must tap all the way in! She describes that during her divorce, she wrote her affirmations down daily on index cards. She posted those cards throughout her tiny apartment. One year later she moved from that tiny apartment to a house! Talk about intentions?!!!! Affirmations and the power of your words have the power to turn around any situation. It’s all about setting those intentions!
