There is something about getting older that I didn't understand at 29.

You don't necessarily become wiser because another year passes.

You become wiser because life keeps teaching you.

You lose people. You love people. You become a mother. You build things. You lose things. You start over. You make decisions you would make differently today. You discover what deserves your energy and what absolutely does not.

And somewhere along the way, you realize that some of the things you once thought were urgent simply aren't.

❤️ At 59, I care much less about proving myself and much more about living a life that is aligned with what I value.

My health. My faith. My family. My friendships. My work. My peace. My purpose.

I also understand now that wisdom isn't about having all the answers. It's being willing to change your mind when life gives you better information.

I wish I could sit across from my 29-year-old self and have this conversation.

But perhaps the beautiful thing is that you don't have to wait until 59 to start living some of these lessons.

If you're younger than me, borrow some of my hindsight.

If you're around my age, maybe you'll recognize yourself in a few of these.

And if you're older, I would love to hear what life has taught you that you wish you'd known sooner.

👉🏾What would you add to this list?

For years, I thought being a good entrepreneur meant staying focused on the next thing.

The next retailer.

The next investor.

The next production run.

The next goal.

I didn't realize how much that mindset was costing me.

Looking back, we had so many moments that should have stopped me in my tracks. Getting into Whole Foods. Selling out a store within 24 hours. Tamera Mowry-Housley sharing our food. Being recognized by Condé Nast. Hearing singer Jewel talk about the brand on an interview. My first CNN interview. Celebrity clients sharing, seeing our products on the Real Housewives of Atlanta and Tia & Tamera Show.

I treated everything like another item to check off the list.

Then my coach Ekene asked me a question that completely caught me off guard after our Target presentation.

😢“How did you celebrate?”

It had never occurred to me that celebrating was part of building a business.

We celebrated that Target deal, and something changed for me. I realized that recognition wasn't a distraction from the work. It actually gives us the energy to keep doing the work.

Since then, I have made a point of celebrating the wins, big or small

But if you are always focused on what's next, you can spend years building something extraordinary and barely remember the moments that made it extraordinary.

If I could go back to my first day in business, I would tell myself:

Build hard. Dream big. But stop long enough to know when you've done something worth celebrating.

What is a win in your life or business that you didn't fully appreciate until much later?

The goal isn't to find a healthier snack every time you feel the urge to eat. It is to stop eating between meals when your body doesn't actually need food.

Many of us have become so accustomed to constant eating that we rarely give ourselves a chance to experience true hunger. Breakfast, coffee snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, evening snack… there is always another opportunity to eat.

But digestion is a process. Giving your body several hours between meals allows the previous meal to be digested before you introduce more food. And when we constantly graze, we lose the ability to recognize the difference between physical hunger and habitual eating.

That's why the first question I want you to ask isn't, “What should I snack on?”

It's: “Am I actually hungry?”

If the answer is yes, please eat. Your body is giving you information, and genuine hunger shouldn't be ignored.

But if you're bored, stressed, tired, scrolling, working, watching television, or simply responding to the clock, try one of these 21 actions instead.

❤️ Harvard Health recommends distinguishing hunger from emotions, stress, and fatigue, and suggests drinking water and waiting 10–15 minutes before deciding whether you actually need food. Other clinical guidance also supports changing your environment, walking, distracting yourself, connecting with someone, and using other non-food activities when cravings or habitual urges show up.

This is the kind of work I do with my clients: not simply telling them what to eat, but helping them understand why they are eating when they aren't hungry and giving them practical tools to change the pattern.

Because the answer isn't always another snack, sometimes your body needs a break from food.

Which of these 21 are you going to try the next time you catch yourself reaching for food between meals?

If constant snacking has become a habit you want to understand and change, DM HEALTH.

I've read a lot of books over the past 40 years.

Some gave me information, some challenged what I thought I knew and some changed the questions I still ask today.

These 8 changed how I see health, life, business, and myself.

I read Beating the Food Giants in the early 1990s, long before I imagined building a food company. It opened my eyes to how profit shapes our food supply, but also showed me that healthy food could be made commercially for everyday families. Years later, that belief helped shape Yummy Spoonfuls.

The China Study and The Big Fat Surprise challenged me from different directions. Together, they reinforced something I still believe: nutrition is not a religion. We are bio-individuals, and we have to learn what works for our own bodies rather than blindly follow one-size-fits-all rules.

Then Selling Sickness made me look beyond food and question the business of sickness itself, how commercial interests influence how diseases are defined, marketed, and treated. It strengthened a belief central to my work: we cannot outsource our health.

The Four Agreements changed how I approach myself and my relationships. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peoplechanged how I lead. Be proactive became a principle that shaped how I show up as a wife, mother, leader, and entrepreneur.

The Power of Now reminded me how easily we replay yesterday or worry about tomorrow while missing the life happening right now.

The Bible.

I had been a Christian my whole life, but it wasn't until my mid-30s that I began reading Scripture for myself. The more I read, the more I discovered teachings on character, love, forgiveness, responsibility, relationships, purpose, and how we are called to live.

I've read hundreds of books, this list was hard to make.

What is one book that genuinely changed the way you think or live? Tell me below. I may need to add it to my reading list if I haven’t read it already.

In 1990 I left the protection and love of my parents' home and moved to America.

I didn't fully understand the gravity of it all.

For the first time, I was living on my own, cooking for myself, going to school while working, and trying to understand a culture that operated very differently from the one I grew up in.

There were so many little things that reminded me I was far from home.

I was learning that when someone said, “I love you,” it didn't always carry the same weight I had known growing up. Back home, those words were more guarded.

I watched people call elders by their first names.

I learned to buy meat from a grocery store instead of going to the butcher.

I experienced four seasons for the first time.

And then there were the things that made me fall in love with this new place.

I loved summer because it reminded me of home. I discovered music festivals, wine festivals and experiences I had never imagined.

I still remember driving to Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts to see Tracy Chapman. What an incredible experience that was.

Little by little, I stopped seeing America only as the place I had moved to, it was becoming home.

I found a local butcher and started buying my meat there. I learned to cook American dishes with my own cultural touches. My friends loved them.

I was slowly finding a way to honor where I came from while embracing where I was.

And somewhere along the way, I realized I didn't have to choose.

I could be African and American.

I could carry Cameroon/ Nigeria in my heart while building a life in America.

Today, I have lived in this beautiful country longer than I have lived anywhere else in the world.

I've raised a beautiful family here.

I've built businesses here.

I've nurtured an incredible community here.

I've made friendships that love me beyond anything I could have imagined at 23.

And I've built a life centered around doing work that changes lives, not simply making money.

Leaving home was one of the hardest decision but it also became one of the most important chapters of my life.

This is HOME.

Lord I am grateful.

The internet has made entrepreneurship look much faster than it actually is.

We see the launch.

The beautiful website.

The big announcement.

The first big client.

The revenue screenshots.

The founder story after everything worked.

We rarely see the years when the founder is figuring it out, putting everything back into the business, wondering how long they can keep going, and trying to fund an opportunity that is bigger than the resources available to them.

My business didn't take off overnight.

It took six years of pure grit.

And those six years came after I had already built a successful corporate career. I wasn't starting from zero professionally. But I was starting from zero as a founder.

😢 There were years when the business was growing but I wasn't paying myself. Years when our savings were gone while demand for our products was growing. Years when products were flying off Whole Foods shelves, yet we couldn't get the funding we needed to keep up with the opportunity.

Eventually we put all of our savings including, $450,000 from our 401(k) into the business.

Today, it's easy to look at the outcome and forget what it took to get there.

But that's how building something really works.

Sometimes the opportunity is there before the resources are.

Sometimes you have to keep going long before there is anything to show for it.

And sometimes the timeline is simply longer than you expected.

Maybe you're building a business or changing careers.

Maybe starting something completely new in your 40s, 50s, or beyond.

And maybe you're wondering why it isn't happening faster.

Don't assume that slow means you're failing.

Some things take time because you're actually building them.

What are you building right now that is taking longer than you expected? I'd love to hear from you.
