Fit Goddess Tribe

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what we carry from childhood.

Not just what was said, but what wasn’t.

As we grow, we get to decide what we carry forward, what we leave behind, and what we want to do differently for those coming behind us.

Healing can mean understanding what shaped us and choosing a new way forward.

What we don’t say still speaks.

But so does how we love, listen, and show up. ❤️

This one is close to my heart. I hope it gives you something to reflect on, too.

There are some things families learn to live with without ever giving them a name. A child who struggles to sit still.

📚 BOOKS FOR THE JOURNEY

Hey Tribe! 👋🏾

Sometimes the right book gives us more than information.

It gives us language for what we’ve experienced, permission to ask different questions, and a reminder that we’re not alone.

As we continue September’s “Your Story Isn’t Over” conversation, I pulled together a few books that have something to say about mental health, trauma, identity, vulnerability, and healing.

And I want to know:

📖 What book helped you understand yourself differently?

📖 What book made you feel seen?

📖 What book would you recommend for someone on their healing journey?

I’m building the Fit Goddess Tribe Healing Library™ one conversation — and one book — at a time.

Read the full “Books for the Journey” article on LinkedIn 👇🏾

Then come back and drop YOUR recommendation in the comments!

Because sometimes healing starts with finding the words.

And sometimes… it starts with a book. ❤️🏾📚

✋🏾 HIGH FIVE for Fit Goddess Tribe!

I’m applying for the HIGH FIVE Grant, and this isn’t just about winning funding—it’s about sharing the WHY behind the work.

I created Fit Goddess Tribe because I believe health changes everything. And I’ve seen firsthand how deeply our health impacts more than just ourselves—it impacts how we show up as mothers, how we care for our families, how we raise our children, and the health legacy we leave behind.

As a mother, I know that taking care of everyone else can easily come before taking care of yourself. But when we neglect our own physical, mental, and emotional wellness, our families feel that too.

That’s why Fit Goddess Tribe is about more than fitness.

It’s about whole-person wellness—movement, mental wellness, nutrition, mindfulness, community, and self-love. It’s about helping individuals and families develop sustainable habits that can change the health story for generations.

For the past six years, I’ve continued to grow Fit Goddess Tribe from a fitness business into a whole-person wellness movement**, creating programs and experiences for youth, families, schools, universities, and communities.

My WHY? I want healthier people, healthier mothers, healthier families, and ultimately healthier communities. ❤️

Winning the HIGH FIVE Grant would help me expand this work, reach more families, and continue creating spaces where people understand that taking care of themselves isn't selfish or a luxury—it’s an investment in the people they love.

So I’m putting my HIGH FIVE in the air! 🙌🏾

If you believe in the work, like, share, and cheer me on!

Hey Tribe,

September has me thinking about the stories we carry—and the ones we almost convince ourselves are finished.

I wrote this piece as a follow-up to our conversation around su***de awareness, mental health, survival, and the importance of having somewhere safe to put the things we’re carrying.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can say is simply:

“Come talk to me.”

Not because we have all the answers. Not because we can fix everything. But because sometimes being heard reminds someone that their story still has another chapter.

I invite you to read, share, reflect, and most importantly—check on somebody.

Your story isn't over.

Join the Tribe. 💚

September 10th is World Su***de Prevention Day, and to those who may feel alone I want to remind you something simple: You can talk to me. You don't have to have the right words.

SAVE THE DATE! 📚✨

The Becoming a Goddess book tour continues!

🎤 Community Open Mic + Book Signing
📍 The Printed Word
📅 September 26
⏰ 5 PM

September is Su***de Awareness Month, and we’re creating space for community, connection, creativity, honest conversations, and healing.

Because the “WE” in wellness comes from COMMUNITY. 💚

Bring your voice. Bring your story. Bring someone you love.

Come ready to share, listen, laugh, feel, and connect.

This is what community looks like: showing up for each other, making room for every voice, and reminding one another that none of us has to heal alone.

So don’t just save the date—bring your people.

Let’s gather. Let’s listen. Let’s share. Let’s heal.

Because when one of us finds her voice, we all get a little stronger. 🌱📖✨

August is National Wellness Month.

For me, this month carries a different meaning.

Over the last several weeks, I have stepped into a new role as a caretaker for my mother. It is one of the greatest honors of my life, but it is also one of the heaviest. There are moments when I have to remind myself that caring for someone else cannot come at the expense of caring for myself.

This season has exposed something I have carried for years.

I wasn't wearing strength as a badge of honor. I was conditioned to believe overfunctioning was normal. I solved problems before anyone asked. I anticipated needs before they were spoken. I carried the weight because that's what I saw the women before me do. Now, as I care for my mother, I recognize pieces of myself in her. We both learned to survive by doing more, giving more, and carrying more than we were ever meant to.

National Wellness Month is reminding me that wellness isn't just about movement, nutrition, or drinking more water.

It's about resting before your body demands it.
It's about restoring after you've poured into everyone else.
It's about allowing yourself to receive care, too.

So this month, I'm choosing to pause.
To breathe.
To stretch.
To laugh.
To ask for help.
To protect my peace.
To rest in every way possible—before I care for others and after I care for others.

Because healing isn't found in constant productivity. Sometimes it's found in teaching our bodies that they are finally safe enough to rest.

If you've spent your life surviving, I invite you to read my latest article:

A Wellness Reset for Bodies That Learned Survival Before Safety
[https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/wellness-reset-bodies-learned-survival-before-safety-jara-clark-9go0e?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android&utm_campaign=share_via](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/wellness-reset-bodies-learned-survival-before-safety-jara-clark-9go0e?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android&utm_campaign=share_via)

This August, may we redefine wellness. Not as doing more, but as finally giving ourselves permission to do less, receive more, and heal the generations that come after us.

There is a moment many of us don’t talk about openly. You can be “functioning”… checking the boxes, showing up, doing everything “right”… and still feel like your body never fully settles.

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, and there has never been a better time to talk about healing.

As I count down to 40 and the release of my new book, *Becoming a Goddess*, I'm reminded that this journey has never been about chasing a number on the scale.

It's been about healing the mind.
Healing the body.
Healing the community.

Far too many minority communities continue to face higher rates of chronic disease while also experiencing barriers to mental health care, preventive services, and opportunities to live healthier lives. That's why these conversations matter.

Movement is medicine.

Join us as we explore:
• How physical activity supports both mental and physical health
• The connection between movement, stress, trauma, and chronic disease
• The barriers that make healthy living more challenging for many minority communities
• Practical, sustainable ways to build healthier habits for yourself and your family

At Fit Goddess Tribe, we believe wellness is about more than weight loss. It's about breaking generational cycles, reducing health disparities, building resilience, and creating healthier futures for ourselves and the generations that follow.

Check out this episode and our growing library of videos on health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, mental health, and healing on our YouTube channel. Every video is another step toward creating healthier individuals, stronger families, and thriving communities.

As I celebrate another year of life and prepare to release Becoming a Goddess* my hope is simple: that more people choose healing over survival and prevention over crisis.

You never know whose life could change because you decided to start the conversation.

Because healing begins with awareness.
Awareness inspires action.
And every step forward is a step toward a healthier future.
