What It Takes to Survive In New York in 2026

Why Your Health Matters More Than the Scale

The number on the scale doesn’t tell the whole story. In this episode of The State of Her with Keisha, we’re talking about Why Your Health Matters More Than the Scale. So many women have been taught to chase a number instead of paying attention to their energy, strength, sleep, mental health, hormones, and their overall well-being. Don’t let the scale determine your mood, Building healthy habits over time will always be more valuable than chasing quick results. Stop measuring your worth by a number and start measuring your life by how you feel.

Mental Nutrition: What Are You Consuming Every Day?

Your mind consumes content the same way your body consumes food. Every conversation, social media post, news headline, TV show, book, podcast, and even the people you surround yourself with are feeding your mind something. The question is: Is it nourishing you or draining you? In this episode of The State of Her with Keisha, she’s talking about mental nutrition and the daily thoughts, information, and influences that shape your mindset, your confidence, your peace, and your future. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unmotivated, or emotionally exhausted, it may be time to examine what you’ve been feeding your mind. Keisha discusses how to become more intentional about what you consume, protect your peace without disconnecting from the world, and replace unhealthy mental habits with ones that help you grow, heal, and thrive. Because a healthy life doesn’t start with what’s on your plate, it starts with what’s in and on your mind.

Sometimes the strongest and only thing you can do is place it in God’s hands. @TheStateOfHerHQ [https://instagram.com/thestateofherhq] Facebook [https://facebook.com/TheStateOfHerHQ]

The Weight of Holding It All Together

Why does everyone call you when things fall apart. Friends, family, the people closest to you. You’re the one who listens, who holds it together, who shows up no matter what. But what happens when the person holding everyone else up starts feeling heavy too? In this episode, Keisha is talking about the emotional weight of being “the strong one.” The one who always has the advice, always has the time, always has the patience even when no one asks if you’re okay and why you might just have to cut your girlfriends off. Let’s get honest about burnout, boundaries, and what it really costs to be everyone’s safe place. Because holding it all together shouldn’t mean losing yourself in the process of it all. 🎧 If this sounds like something you are experiencing, this conversation is for you.
