If you’re a business owner, what kind of B2B things do you have in place to grow your business?

Here’s your girl just being silly at a networking event last night.

Aprio’s Black Business Forum hosted us. They spoke on non-traditional methods of financing. They also stressed having your business structured properly, and not wearing so many hats that you don’t know how to think in each role, risking shooting yourself in the foot.

Another great point was to hire people who are good at what they do and listen to them.

Then make sure you know what your business is worth at every point in time. Act like you’re preparing it for a sale even when you’re not. You just never know what opportunity might present itself and you want t be ready.

I handed out a few business cards and invited folk to our Perspire Sauna Studio in Sandy Springs which is just 7 minutes from the Aprio office where we had the event. Still learning how to work the room at these events...

Then the wheels started to turn in my head like, Folake, offer their staff at Aprio a group discount to services at the studio. I think I just might.

Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, East Cobb, Roswell, & Buckhead, your anti-aging ritual starts here.

No botox

No fillers

No expensive creams

Haven’t had a facial in a decade

I must confess that I used to layer on so many creams and serums and lotions and everything in between.

For years…

And yet, I couldn’t leave the house without makeup

No more!

I have exchanged all of those for a full spectrum medical grade infrared sauna and red light ritual that has my skin looking like this.

Our saunas at Perspire have the longest red light strips available and it’s like a whole body facial.

Red light therapy—
•Increases collagen and elastin in the skin
•Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

The full spectrum IR therapy—
•Improves your detox pathways by heating up your body from inside and creating an artificial fever, which helps you sweat

The less the toxic burden in your body, the better your skin.

August is BOGO month at Perspire Sauna Studio Sandy Springs

Come sauna with me and let’s age backwards together.

Have you ever tried the Infrared Sauna?

I know. I know. It’s hot out. But if you start low and go slow, a regular IR sauna habit or practice helps improve heat tolerance.

With a history of MS and PCOS, I have had heat intolerance my entire life. And here I am tolerating humid GA heat with a daily sauna practice.

One of the best kept secrets is not just hydration but electrolytes. With those, I am set to replenish the electrolytes that I lose through sweat and not feel depleted at the end of a session.

What have I noticed since I went from once a week to daily sauna practice?

Increased energy
Better skin & decreased signs of aging
Better sleep
Improved recovery from exercise
Pain control
Inflammation control
Better immunity
Improved detox pathways
Decreased stress
Increased stamina
Improved cognition

If you live with MS, or autoimmunity in general and many chronic illnesses, don’t sleep on the IR sauna benefits and how it can up-level your lived experience.

I am grateful to God for leading me to Dr Wahls and learning about NIR & Red light more than a decade ago and subsequently the full spectrum IR saunas. They have changed my life!

We are at-

Are you going to come sauna with me this month?

Lucuma Strawberry Shake

2 tbsp lucuma powder from
1 cup frozen strawberries
I can full cream coconut milk
No sweetener necessary but you cam add a dash of honey or allulose. They both work. I think maple syrup will work too.

It tastes just like the one Sebastian (Cristy’s husband made me at the cafe a few weeks ago!

Yum 😋

Have you had lucuma before?

52 years of His Grace & Mercy…

It is only by the mercies of El Roi that I was not consumed in 2025

I started January 1st in Kennestone Hospital and that’s how the first half of January went…

But my God showed up

15 year siege of illness & infirmity broken!

Who am I that you are mindful of mr Oh Lord?

Who am I that you visited me?

The fate that was meant for me was met by the person who was trying to play God.

I am here and they are not.

Not because I deserve it

But for your grace and mercy

I just want to say Baba o E se

I just want to say Baba o E se

This is my story

This is my song

Hallelujah 🙏🏾

thank you for who you are…

…for teaching us how to pray and move mountains, how to secure the victory and manifest miracles! 🙏🏾🥰😎

I am forever changed!

Happy 12th Anniversary Papa & Streams of Joy. 🎉

It is not a coincidence that my birthday is the same day.

It was ordained

Blessed be God!

The current histamine issues I’m experiencing are messages.

Been dealing with mold in my sinuses for 14 months, on and off, and flares but never gone for good.

Saw a regular ENT…

The message I was skirting around was to seek out mold in my immediate environment.

My daughter has had mold illness which I attributed to water damage when she was in middle school, and a lot of kids got sick from it.

I attributed mine to mold that I had seen on a synthetic brush I used to wash my face with around the time I started to have symptoms in my sinuses.

Because I’d recovered from PPMS, I didn’t think our home had mold.

Kept putting off testing…

Then the message in the form of an alarm in my body got louder and louder until I had to listen.

Now we’re getting our home checked out by the mold remediation guys…

Essentially doing all the things.

That’s my biggest lesson from 2024. Not a new lesson but re-learned with a cost.

Super thankful that it wasn’t an issue with PPMS and forever grateful for that recovery

Still fits in with the whole MS message of put yourself first, your oxygen mask before anything or anyone else.

So thankful to God that it wasn’t an MS setback.

Learning new ways to eat for this season…

Being vulnerable with you all so we can all do better.

Wishing you a fabulous 2025!

That’s my story!

So, what’s your experience with symptoms being messages?

Most of us living with MS know that healing is not linear, and it’s a journey rather than a destination

I have had an extraordinary MS journey of recovery of physical and cognitive disabilities from PPMS

And I believe that I have been given an assignment to help others on the same path of MS, especially women with MS

I have been under what I consider extraordinary stress in my personal life this year, and in the last few weeks, I experienced what I call a dip (per Ashok Gupta)

I used this photo for this post because in my family, this is what we do.

I was in the ER recently, while our daughter was with kind friends who took extraordinary care of her.

My husband who is always my rock, who always shows up big when I need him the most is pictured hanging out in an ER room with me, watching The Sound Of Music.

We reminisced over what an impact it had on our growing up in Nigeria and Europe, and we planned what other movies we would watch this Christmas.

We weren’t moping around sad because I had to be in the ER.

This is who we are & who we will continue to be.

New challenge? Let’s go! We can do this.

Because we’ve got Jesus and we’ve got each other and we know how to do this.

We will not be moved, accept defeat nor surrender.

Everything is always working out for my (our) good.

I was in the ER again after this episode, both within 1 week.

So now I’m dealing with MCAS. That is mast cell activation syndrome. It’s basically big histamine issues, with my trigger being mold colonization in my sinuses that’s been challenging to beat.

The bigger the name, the greater we’re armed for it.

I’m not going anywhere.

MCAS will not and cannot break us as a family

And I’ve still got work to do in the MS landscape.

As we say in Naija, no shaking. 😎😎

So as we watch Sound Of Music again tonight, shout out to this man who stayed and who shows up big every single time.

Say ME below if you have one hell of a supportive spouse on this MS journey 🙋🏾‍♀️and Merry Christmas 🎄to you.

I know. Why do I still bother with western medicine? Well, everything works together for good and I always figure out the best integrative medicine mix.

Just wish it wasn’t so challenging and expensive to navigate both.

But the silver lining is that the doctor herself is pretty dope, so the whole visit went the same way as it had with the nurse.

She ordered a bunch of lab tests I wanted that will be covered by insurance as opposed to me paying out of pocket for some or most if I’d gone to a functional medicine doctor.

All things did work together for my good! 😎

So tell me, how cool is a dope nurse though?

🧡A whole 50+1 🧡 Where did the time go?

I still feel like 25 on the inside 😆

All I have is gratitude for life, for love, for family, for friends, for the MS community, for lessons learned and still learning.

Has it been easy? Absolutely not. Especially with MS in the mix.

Am I where I thought I would be? No. But every challenge, every delay, every no or not yet from God has taught me something and fostered more resilience.

More importantly they have made me super appreciate of what is, the yesses, the wins…

It’s always about the journey for me. The mundane. The easily overlooked blessings and details.

There is no final destination I am shooting for. And that’s the #1 lesson I want my members to know.

I literally wake up and put one foot in front of the other. I want my today to look better than my yesterday. Operative term being mine, not someone else. My only competition is ME.

But that doesn’t always happen and that’s OK too.

There is room for flexibility because healing is not linear. It ebbs and flows and we ride the waves.

On today as I turn 51, I am super thankful to be here and to be thriving and that is what I wish for you all, especially my MS community.

And I continue to devote my time and efforts to communicating this message and guiding those beautiful humans who have bene divinely assigned to me.

Thank you for being in my world. 🙏🏾
