Navigating Burnout as a Black Woman, and the Path to Recovery With Jolinda Johnson

Prodigy Press Wire

The foundation of stress among marginalized communities is multi-faceted, encompassing economic factors, education, discrimination, and limited opportunities for advancement. For Black women, however, the burden is intensified by the impact of racism, sexism, and possibly heterosexism. These lead to disparities that are supported both statistically and anecdotally. According to one study, by age 45, half of the Black women who participated had high-stress scores, while by age 64, more than 80% did. However, shame as well as the expectation that Black women are meant to be strong, independent, and constantly available for others, all decrease the likelihood that Black women will seek support. This is also compounded by the scarcity of Black mental health care providers and services. Jolinda Johnson, a forty-one-year-old Black woman and certified Life and Holistic Health Coach emphasizes the need for a shift in perspective. "Stress is inevitable, but losing your health to the effects of chronic stress and burnout is optional. What so many of us are missing is the right kind of support." Burnout, often associated with white corporate employees, is a shared experience cutting across professions for women of color. Stemming from years of striving for excellence while having to navigate systems intentionally designed to hold them back, Black women are at a higher risk for heart disease, depression, anxiety, and other chronic conditions. While systemic change is needed, both on the governmental and organizational levels, individual choices that support physical and mental health can still create positive change. According to Johnson, as women, we are taught to judge ourselves against an impossible standard but we never learn how to genuinely support our bodies and minds. The normalization of exhaustion, perpetuated by societal pressures and the need to constantly prove oneself, leaves Black women feeling depleted. In a survey by Every Level Leadership, 78% of Black women reported that they sometimes, rarely, or never have the ability to go home at the end of the workday with energy in reserve. The elusive concept of rest promises replenishment and renewal, but Black women, especially those with intersectional identities, struggle to find it. But burnout doesn't only happen as a result of having too many demands with little or no time to recover, it can also be a result of stress that comes from being constantly under-recognised and under-challenged. For others, it may be the consequence of not having clear roles and expectations, and having to guess accordingly. Furthermore, the damaging stereotype of the "angry Black woman" has far-reaching consequences in the workplace. Exclusion from career growth opportunities and emotional policing contribute to the exhaustion from everyday workplace stresses. Fear of being seen as hostile often silences Black women, preventing open communication about their struggles. Jolinda Johnson points out, "Burnout is a result of having to constantly prove your worth in a society that was never designed for you to feel worthy." To address burnout among women of color, Johnson has crafted a course that speaks specifically to their needs. Building a strong foundation by supporting your health in addition to reclaiming rest, rejecting perfectionism, and embracing self-compassion are the cornerstones of her work. In her words, "Understanding and addressing these factors are essential for managing and recovering from burnout." We may live in a world that glorifies hustle, but rest is a basic requirement for all, rather than a luxury for the privileged few. Reclaiming rest involves not only ensuring sufficient sleep but also establishing firm boundaries and prioritizing pleasure. Whether through hobbies, moments of tranquility, or simply indulging in activities that bring joy, these are all fundamental for getting out of survival mode, as per Johnson. To embark on the path of resilience, adequate nutrition, exercise, and sleep can not be forgotten. Nutrition serves as the fuel for both the body and mind, fostering vitality and mental clarity. Regular exercise enhances physical health while additionally acting as a powerful antidote for stress. Deep sleep is also critical for recovery, as not getting enough has been linked to everything from high blood pressure to irregular menstrual cycles, to hypothyroidism. According to Johnson, getting these steps right is essential when going from surviving to thriving. When it comes to burnout, self-care goes a long way, but collective care leads to even deeper healing. Reaching out for help and maintaining existing social networks are two ways to find strength in connection. Whether confiding in friends and family or seeking professional support, creating a robust support system is key. Understanding and addressing these factors will empower women with knowledge and tools to effectively manage and recover from burnout.

Men’s Sexual Performance Coach, Author, and Business Owner Brian “Uncle B” Ayers On His Journey

Prodigy Press Wire

Sexual health is a mysterious and embarrassing topic for most. If left unaddressed, sexual dysfunction can massively impact self-confidence and personal relationships and create excessive stress. For men, this topic is a difficult one to discuss. With friends or partners, men may feel weak for speaking about experiencing lapses in their sexual performance. Oftentimes they blame themselves for the issues they’re facing. It can be isolating to feel that you can’t serve your partner, or fulfill your desires. The problem only becomes more complicated as men rarely know who to consult about their struggles. In 2023, reports revealed that 30 million men in the US suffer from erectile dysfunction. Contrary to the common belief that only older males get this condition, medical professionals note that stress, anxiety, nerve function, and medications are all possible causes. These factors also impact other parts of sexual health, underlining the necessity for practitioners to focus on mind-body connections to truly solve the problem. Brian “Uncle B” Ayers is one person in the realm of sexual performance employing this mind-body strategy. Brian is the Founder of Ayers Naturals, a health supplement and coaching company that prioritizes holistic approaches to improving sexual performance. In addition to offering GoodWood, an all-natural Men’s Performance Fuel product, the company also provides coaching services. Brian says that the supplement is helpful on multiple fronts, for libido, testosterone, and other things. However, the results only really begin to take shape when men supplement this tincture use with more conscious health habits. Reducing alcohol intake, cleaning up their diet, and exercising daily are some habits that dramatically improve mental and physical health, leading to a more fulfilling sex life. Upon visiting GiveGoodWood.com, men can learn about their performance scores, giving them a structure to assess how much help they need to get back on track. Brian notes that this quiz was formulated from his personal experience of interacting with hundreds of men online. The score indicates the severity of sexual dysfunction a man may be experiencing. Brian says he’s dealt with men on both sides of the spectrum with a variety of age ranges. However, many of the problems he noticed were very similar. These takeaways motivated him to create the ESEIS 25 sexual health program along with two books “How To Be A Better Lover In 30 Days or Less” and “Go Hard”. Brian has over 24 years of experience in the sexual health industry. Since 2019, he has been sharing his knowledge on YouTube. There he has heard thousands of stories from men worldwide struggling with sexual performance. Brian Ayers’ channel has over 183k subscribers with 15 million minutes of watch time. Brian connects with viewers by providing simple, shame-free ways to build lifelong health without relying on medications. He keeps the show funny, engaging, and very serious like an uncle is supposed to. This down-to-earth energy empowers men to build stronger relationships, boost overall health, and see a visible improvement in their sex lives. Brian relates with his audience because of his own obstacles with sexual health. After learning the intricacies of sexual health and experimenting with aphrodisiacs, Brian realized how alternative treatments can bridge the gaps left behind by traditional medications for sexual dysfunction. Brian’s coaching journey has been nothing short of fulfilling. Once men feel that they’re in a safe space to discuss these sensitive subjects, they release their worries and Brian provides helpful input. Many of the men he sees are discouraged and actively avoiding sexual encounters due to their ‘unreliability’. This saddens him as he knows that all sexual performance struggles can be solved through supplements like GoodWood and additional lifestyle habits. However, Brian looks forward to continuing his work. Spreading awareness about the truths behind optimizing men’s sexual performance is a passion of his. “My coaching work through Ayers Naturals is something like community service, especially since I provide a lot of valuable information for free on my YouTube channel,” says Brian. “I think my work is bringing important change to the world. As Uncle B, I’ve become a trusted confidant for men across the globe who want to please their partner and themselves. By remaining transparent and authentic on issues that have become shameful, I feel like I’m liberating men to invest in their health through holistic habits.” Ayers Naturals and Brian are poised to lead a health revolution for men’s sexual performance. The company will widen its supplement catalog and invest in more natural herbal medicines that will supplement sexual performance and create men with well-rounded health and sexual habits.

Interestingly, Early Bird Round and Rebels Round 1 investors are awaiting more gains. Once $RBLZ surges to its listing price of $0.025, Early Bird Round investors will get a 150% ROI, and Rebels Round 1 investors will see their $RBLZ investments swell by 92.30%. These projected returns make Rebel Satoshi the best ICO to invest in. On the other hand, Warriors Round 2 investors will bask in a 38.89% ROI when $RBLZ reaches its listing price of $0.025. Moreover, Rebel Satoshi plans to have $RBLZ listed on leading DEXs at the end of its presale.

Gaucho Holdings (NASDAQ: VINO) Welcomes Advisors Doug Casey, Michael Koh To Board As Company Prepares For Expansion In Wake Of Political Changes In Argentina

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The global luxury market is witnessing growth in light of a resurgence of social interactions and travel. The global luxury market is expected to reach $1.6 trillion in 2023, witnessing 8-10% growth over 2022. Despite macroeconomic challenges, the luxury market has shown remarkable resilience, and companies like Argentina’s Gaucho Group Holdings (NASDAQ: VINO) which focus on luxury industries may be poised for expansion and continued sustainable growth on the back of overall market growth – Gaucho Holdings seems to be gearing up for growth with the recent announcement of key additions to its board. Gaucho Holdings is a rapidly growing, e-commerce-driven public holding company that operates a portfolio of experiential luxury brands and real estate assets. The company focuses on leading market sectors and has built a collection of luxury assets with a foundation of real estate holdings. The company owns Algodon Fine Wines, Algodon Wine Resort and Algodon Wine Estates within the spirits, hospitality and luxury real estate sectors, respectively. It also manufactures and markets luxury leather goods and accessories. The company has positioned itself as a premier investment opportunity in Argentina, showcasing to international investors Argentina's wealth of resources and opportunities. The company has recently expanded its team to bolster strategic initiatives and promote further growth. It announced the appointment of Doug Casey, a best-selling author, world-renowned speculator and libertarian philosopher, as the Lead Business Advisor for their Argentina Investments. The company expects this strategic move to greatly improve its strategic vision and drive its expansion in Argentina's fast-growing luxury real estate market. Doug Casey's extensive experience and deep understanding of the Argentine market make him an ideal choice for this advisory position. He has historically characterized Argentina as 'the cheapest civilized place on earth' and will likely provide the company with a unique perspective on the country's economic potential and investment opportunities. His insights are especially valuable given the recent political shifts in Argentina, which Gaucho Holdings sees as not just a change, but as an opportunity for economic revival and investment expansion. Sharing his thoughts on the recent policy shifts Casey explained, "If Milei’s reforms stick, within a decade, Argentina could become the most prosperous country in the world. Look at what Pinochet’s limited reforms did for Chile. It changed from a backward mining province into the most advanced and prosperous country on the continent. Milei’s reforms could transform Argentina into both the freest and the most prosperous country on the planet. Argentina has many advantages... It’s the perfect country whose only real problem is its insane government. But that’s about to change. If he succeeds, I think there will be a rush of millions of Europeans who will see that Argentina has got everything that Europe does—including the favorable aspects of its culture, but none of the disadvantages.” In addition to Casey’s appointment, the company also announced the appointment of Michael Koh, the founder of a highly respected real estate property management and consulting firm in Argentina, to their Advisory Board. Michael Koh is a prominent figure in the Argentine luxury real estate industry, known for his forward-thinking approach. As the managing partner and founder of Koh Investments, he established ApartmentsBA, a real estate property management and consulting firm in Argentina which was acquired by Luxury Retreats in 2010. Mr. Koh also co-founded and led fypio, a real estate software company that promoted technological integration within the sector and is used by Rocket Homes (NYSE: RKT). Currently, Mr. Koh is driving the development of an innovative real estate portal called Casa Libre™, which is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2024. The company expects the platform to revolutionize the Argentine real estate market by offering advanced features such as 3D floor plans and video walkthroughs. Following its launch in Argentina, there are plans to expand into Mexico. "Reflecting on my years in Buenos Aires, I often imagined living in Argentina's golden era,” shared Michael Koh. “I've experienced its beauty, got married, and raised Argentine-born children here. I love this country and am excited about its future. I feel confident Javier Milei will lead us back towards prosperity. With rich resources like beef, corn, and lithium, I believe Argentina is on the cusp of realizing its true potential, offering promising investment opportunities along the way." Earlier in November, Argentina elected right-wing libertarian Javiar Milei as president; he ran on the promise of economic shock therapy, which resonated with voters. Gaucho Holdings has been investing in the Argentinian market since 2007, and the recent additions to its team reflect an understanding of how the election will affect economic growth.

How Technical Analysis Reveals Fundamentals to Price Values

TechniTrader

A large part of my work over the last 25 years has been to teach my students and show the CMT and members that technical analysis is not a separate entity from the fundamentals of a company. Relational Technical Analysis is the new way to use stock charts, candlesticks, support and resistance, and trend patterns to determine where and when you should trade or invest in a stock based on FUNDAMENTAL values. Fundamental Values from the chart help you determine the relationship between the stock’s current price or value and the company’s fundamental value. That may sound impossible but it is easy to learn how to identify where fundamentals are in relation to a stock’s price. This is because the largest Buy-Side Institutions, which I call “the Dark Pools,” control over $100 trillion in assets worldwide and this number climbs as the US stock market rises in value. The giant Buy-Side Institutions use Quantitative Analysis to determine the “best price” for accumulation of a stock over time based on the company’s fundamental value, growth potential, new technologies, reinvention or creation of a new product that will be broadly popular, along with the CEO/CFO and the strength of the management team. Using a stock chart, fundamentals are revealed by the Dark Pool Buy Zones that are created any time a Giant Buy-Side Institution, or several, are accumulating stock of a specific company or a group of companies. Dark Pools are not only Giant Mutual Fund companies but also the Giant Derivative Developers who create ETF units to sell on the public stock market exchanges. ETF unit building is what is driving the major US indexes upward in the final quarter of 2023. The indexes have been rising steadily and into speculative mode as the retail groups suddenly realize the stock market, which they think of in terms of the 3 major Indexes–Dow 30, NASDAQ 100 and S&P 500–is moving up strongly since late October 2023. ETF demand has been very high late in 2023 as more retirement accounts offer ETFs based on the major indexes as an alternative to a standard index fund. Dark Pools who manage Mutual Funds focus heavily on fundamentals. When their buying in accumulation mode occurs, the patterns on individual stock charts reveal the price range at which they decided the stock was a good buy. The determining factor is fundamental analysis. Is the stock below its fundamentals in price based on Quantitative Analysis? Or is the stock at or near the current fundamentals of the company? Or is the stock higher than its current fundamentals. The Dark Pools have more information and knowledge about the companies in which they invest than anyone else in the market because they hold millions of shares of stock in each company. They visit and research the company far beyond just earnings reports. They usually accumulate a stock well ahead of the earnings season, which indicates that the company’s next earnings report will be above the rest of the market’s expectations–those infamous “analysts” who attempt to guess what the company will report based on previous statements by the CEO. Dark Pools do not rely on earnings reports or CEO statements; they investigate thoroughly. And they are already well postured for the 4 th quarter earnings season to close out 2023. Thus, now is the time to study stock charts to find the companies who will be reporting stronger earnings than retail analysts are estimating. That information is embedded in the stock chart, where Dark Pools have been quietly acquiring stock within a set price range. The Dark Pools generally use time weighted average price order types, and there are many types of these professional orders. With time and price, the accumulation trigger is based on the range of price that is determined to be at or below the current price. Entries are made slowly over time, with pings on price, NOT volume as retail and smaller fund managers who use VWAP order types believe. To see the fundamental levels on a stock chart requires Relational technical analysis using Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills, which give you the ability to see the narrow price range in which Dark Pools are buying slowly over time. Spatial Pattern Recognition is a skill that anyone who uses technical or fundamental analysis needs to learn. It is not hard to learn, and it opens up a huge hidden world: the professional side of the market, which constitutes over 80% of all the market activity every day. 300 billion dollars exchange hands in the US market every day. Thus, learning to identify Quiet, Hidden or Rapid accumulation over time on a stock chart and being able to see that price is above or below or at the fundamental levels for the next earnings season is mandatory for all investors and traders to learn. When you have this skill, you can improve your ROI, and your trading profits for monthly income go up even more.
