Mental Health is Wealth

In honor of World Mental Health Day, I wanted to share a few important lessons I’ve learned on my journey of healing, mental health, and self-care. Creating The Rich Auntie Collection wasn’t just about launching a brand—it was about reclaiming my own sense of self-worth and embracing the richness within me, despite the challenges life threw my way.

Through this journey, here are a few things I’ve learned that have deeply shaped me and the Rich Auntie mindset:

Healing is a Journey, Not a Destination:

We don’t wake up one day and feel “healed.” It’s a process, a practice of giving yourself grace and space to grow, to rest, and to release what no longer serves you.

Self-Care is a Non-Negotiable:

Just like we invest in our careers or relationships, we must invest in our mental and emotional well-being. Self-care is not selfish, it’s essential. Whether it’s a solo trip, a spa day, or just quiet moments of reflection, the Rich Auntie life means putting yourself first so you can show up fully for others.

Your Worth is Inherent:

As I’ve said many times, true richness isn’t about external success or material wealth. It’s about knowing that you are worthy, right where you are. Rich Auntie vibes are about embracing your inherent worth—knowing that you’re deserving of peace, joy, and love, without having to prove it to anyone.

It’s Okay to Not Be Okay:

There were many moments where I felt lost, overwhelmed, or unsure. And that’s okay. Learning to be gentle with myself, and allowing space for vulnerability, has been one of the most powerful lessons of my journey. As Rich Aunties, we can be strong and soft, resilient and restful, all at once.

Community Matters:

Surrounding yourself with supportive people is key to mental well-being. The Rich Auntie Collection is about building a community of women who uplift each other, who remind us that we don’t have to go through life alone. We are rich in love, in relationships, and in the support we share.

On this World Mental Health Day, I hope you had an opportunity to check in with yourself. Remember to always honor where you are in your journey, and never forget—you are rich in more ways than you know.

Let’s continue to prioritize our mental well-being, today and every day. 💚
