Back to School, Back to You: Why August is More Than Just New Schedules

August usually screams back to school, but what if this year it whispered back to you? While the kids get their supplies and schedules sorted, it’s time to reclaim your energy, your peace, and your purpose. In honor of National Wellness Month, this blog dives into the often overlooked truth: burnout is real, and it's affecting more than just our moods — it's shaping the next generation. If you've been giving to everyone but yourself, this is your reminder to pause, breathe, and start the journey back to you. Because your health isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Let’s make August the month we stop surviving and start thriving.

Jodi "Lady J" Watkins

I am a woman of faith, a leader, a mentor, and a lifelong student of growth. My journey has been filled with challenges, mistakes, and lessons that have shaped me into who I am today. While I cannot change my past, I can use it as fuel to empower others, create awareness, and help people break through the barriers holding them back.

I believe in the power of transformation—mentally, physically, and spiritually. Healing is a process, and true change happens when we surround ourselves with the right people and open ourselves up to the journey. Through my work as an author, speaker, and wellness coach, I share my story to inspire others to reclaim their lives, step into their greatness, and embrace the calling God has placed on them.

Writing has been one of my most powerful healing tools, and I now use this gift to help others find their voice, rewrite their narratives, and move forward with clarity and confidence. My passion is to collaborate with like-minded individuals who are ready to make an impact and create a better future for the next generation.

If you or someone you know is ready to take the next step in their journey, let’s connect. Together, we can do more, reach more, and change more lives.
