MY ‘WHY’… 🤔 .This past weekend I spent time thinking about my ‘why’. Alongside a role in the world of corporate - I’m currently working on a few projects, which at times can be a tad overwhelming and where I hear myself asking God if He’s sure He’s got the right person for the job! 🥴.However what keeps me going is my ‘why’. Those of you who know me well know I’m a huge advocate for health, movement and simply aging well. .One of my existing whys is that over the past twenty years - or more - I’ve observed a fear, even dread of getting older amongst many women, and the stories that was coming from those who’d passed certain milestone ages was, quite frankly, NOT pretty! It was no wonder why so many fellow females coming after them dreaded maturing! 😔 .As I watched some from afar, and some more closely, get tearful, even depressed about reaching significant birthdays such as their 40, 50 and even 60th birthday I was determined that this would not be my story or experience! … in fact I was so excited to be 40 I had three celebrations 😂.Now that my 40, even 50th year of life has gone, I am DETERMINED to change the narrative about female aging! Call it being a disruptor or whatever the trending word is now; but whatever it is I want to see positive change in this area. 💫 .A change in attitudes towards female health in women in every aspect, for those aged 35 and beyond - and most certainly a consistent positive change within female beauty standards with regard to aging. .So if you see me post certain reels, stories or comments pertaining to the beautiful process of female aging - just know that this is WHY I say and do what I do; because I NEVER want to be part of the reason why younger women coming after me fear or dread getting older. Ever. This - is my why… ❤️.#loribeemua #womenshealth #aging #mindset #reset by @loribeemua

GET MOVING!!! 👀 .To reset something in our lives can feel and look different to us all. .For some, it can mean a shift or pivot, whilst to others it may involve a minor tweak to an existing system or routine you currently adopt. .A reset doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul, a change of environment or life as we know it… instead it may involve an assessment of what we’re currently doing, how we’re living our lives and what simply requires revision. 🤔 .If you’re ready for a reset - think what needs restoring, or even reestablishing; what potentially needs to be recalibrated and rebooted. Taking inventory of each aspect of your life, your health - even your circle - and looking at each one in turn will help you to realistically identify what still works for you and what requires change. 📝 .Trust me - a reset need not be this big scary life event, but simply a closer look at what (and who) still serves you and allows you to walk in your purpose and God given calling. 🤗 Why not start your inventory today 👌🏾 .#loribeemua #reset #takeaction #life #purpose ❤️ by @loribeemua

FRIDAY MUSINGS… NOW IS THE TIME!!! 🕰️⏰🕰️Completely out of my comfort zone once again - but I’ve been working on something which I need to share. This is a subject that’s been on my heart for many years after (as a makeup artist) hearing so many negative statements about female aging. I want to be a part of disrupting this negative mindset, fear and dread of getting older as a woman, so that those coming after me will instead look forward to their own lives and future - with hope, excitement and inspiration!Thank you so much for your engagement and support to date…. 🥰Now hang with me as I share how great getting older as a woman really can be! 🥰 #loribeemua #femaleaging #women #health #reset ❤️ by @loribeemua

GOING OUT WITH A BANG!!! 💥 🔥 💥 That’s exactly what @xtinaokenla did with her finale @bodiedbyxo session @boxpark earlier this week! The vibes were right and the workout was tight as Christina took us through a challenging but fun combination of HIIT and banded moves that had us smiling through the sweat! 💦 Epic DJ @markashleyd dropped some beats that carried us through and as usual you could hear each of us shouting and encouraging others - as we encouraged ourselves to keep going! 😀 Although this was the last session at BoxPark Shoreditch I know there’s more coming from this fitness powerhouse! Christina you’ve created a community - a family - who love you and how you teach, so we’re already excited for what’s coming next from you. ❤️In the meantime, we’ll see you and the squad on the #bodiedbyxoapp 🙌🏾🔥❤️#loribeemua #womeninfitness #endorphinsmakeyouhappy #reset ❤️ by @loribeemua

WE GET TOUCHY FEELY!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the @wegettouchyfeely event - aptly named ‘The Girls’ Bathroom’ 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾This event in collaboration with the #nhs was a combination of three of my passions; health, education and fun! 💃🏾 To say I am proud of @nelliegbadebo is an understatement! She has taken her testimony as a survivor of breast cancer and completely turned it around to raise awareness of the condition - with, and for, the culture! 💥 Her willingness to speak openly about her own experience has helped others to share their own fears and experiences of breast cancer with such an honesty and conviction, which in turn has encouraged conversations about a topic that was once completely taboo. 👌🏾 I am so excited to watch Nellie continue to push down doors to help raise breast cancer awareness and advise you too to get involved in this much needed dialogue! Keep it coming Nellie! 🙌🏾#loribeemua #womenshealth #healthadvocacy #reset ❤️ by @loribeemua

FRIDAY MUSINGS!!! 💭 🤔 📝 ITS TOTALLY OKAY TO NOT KNOW!!! So this week I was asked by one of the directors at work to write a short paper. They mentioned a piece of research that the paper should cover and I happily agreed and started looking online for what felt like half a day for the authors of the research I was due to be covering. 😩 Accepting - what I saw as defeat - I went back to the director and asked for a link to the work they’d referred to. They casually reminded me that this was some work carried out by a couple of our stakeholders and should be in the minutes of a meeting held a few months ago. 😮‍💨 Upon that response I sat back in my chair, sighed, and then thought - ‘Why didn’t you just ask at the time Lori?’ I would’ve saved myself so much time and heartache! I clearly won’t be doing that again - but it showed me that’s it’s no big deal to NOT know the answer, yet so many women, like me, feel the pressure to have to deliver regardless of what we have available to us. Why is that? 🤔 This was a huge lesson for me and one I hope not to repeat and also one I share to help other women not fall into the same trap. Because it really IS okay to not know… 🤷🏾‍♀️ #loribeemua #mindset #shift #reset ❤️ by @loribeemua

Dina, thank you for hearing my thoughts, my vision and acknowledging what I too bring to the conversation. I appreciate and celebrate you as you continue to thrive and soar! ❤️.And a massive shout out and thank you to @shanice.mills_ 🥰 Thank you so much for being so willing to connect me with likeminded women having only heard two lines about the God given vision I had! 🥹You are TRUE girls’ girl! I pray that as you were so willing to do this for me, that God will connect YOU with even more divine connections honey. 🥰😘.Until the next time @tonesofbeautyuk - once again you smashed it! 🤸🏽‍♀️🙌🏾🥳.#loribeemua💄 #womeninbusiness #beauty #tonesofbeauty2026 #reset by @loribeemua

FRIDAY MUSINGS!!! 🤔 💭 😏 SLIDE LEFT! ⬅️.So earlier this week as I commuted into the London office via the delightful underground 😮‍💨 I observed a heavily pregnant woman holding on desperately as the carriage swayed from left to right. She held her head down and was clearly not securely in a position where she felt steady on her feet. .I instantly looked around and observed two fellow passengers comfortably sitting in the priority seats - heads nestled in their phone and Kinder book…Before taking one last look at the seated passengers, I quietly said to the pregnant passenger, ‘do you want to sit down?’ - she partially said no, but then sheepishly smiled at me. So I asked again - this time she nodded a yes and a no! 🤷🏾‍♀️ I equated this to a ‘yes - but where - there’s no seats?!’.I then turned and gently spoke to the seated passengers.., ‘are one of you able to give up your seat for this expectant lady?’ Thankfully one swiftly jumped to their feet - the other’s eyes remained fixed on their device. With that the expectant passenger smiled broadly at me, said thank you - then gladly sat down - BUT also avoided eye contact for the rest of her journey…I say all that to say this…I am no longer apologising for taking all that God has made available to me - period. Whether the ‘thing’ is openly offered or I have to step forward for it. I’m taking it! 🙌🏾.I’ve realised that as women it often takes for us to get ‘up in years’ to start unapologetically taking what’s rightfully ours…I recognised myself in that expectant lady this week, almost apologising for saying yes to what was deserved; which thankfully, with age and time has come to an end!.Do you have anything you’ve stopped apologising for as you continue to live this thing called life? 🤗 I sincerely hope so! .#loribeemua #unapologetically #womenshealth #reset ❤️ by @loribeemua

DID I MENTION THAT I REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS?! 😂 .I’ve thoroughly enjoyed trying out the @elavatesuperfoods #collagen powder over the last couple of weeks and have really noticed a difference! .Firstly, my skin felt plumper…. ‘But you have great skin Lori’ you may say; yes I agree, but it’s been feeling firmer - which I absolutely love!😍.Secondly, my post workout aches have reduced! Now this I totally love! I’ve noticed that the muscle aches, although still present, have certainly lessened! 👌🏾 .Thirdly, the joint aches, I’ve felt from time to time, first thing in the morning after getting out of bed - have also reduced. 🏆 .Fourthly - less bloating after meals. All I can say is hallelujah! 💃🏾.Although the muscle, joint aches and bloating haven’t all disappeared completely, I’ve definitely noticed a positive difference and am confident that they’ll reduce further with continued use of this yummy formula! 🤗💃🏾.As you know, I don’t vouch for or endorse ANYTHING I haven’t road tested myself and I have to say, with this product - I’M SOLD! 🤸🏽‍♀️.Thank you again for reaching out @elavatesuperfoods - You have a great product! 🤗 ❤️.Did anyone manage to catch how many times I used the word ‘really’? 😩😂.#loribeemua #antiaging #womenshealth #reset by @loribeemua

FRIDAY MUSINGS!!! 🤔 💭 🤔It’s me again with another Friday thought buffering in my head! 😀 .This time I was thinking about what it is that causes many of us women to lack confidence, particularly professionally, despite the many years of experience and expertise that we have in our industry. .I’ve lost count of the women who I’ve worked with who have passed up opportunities to go for promotion internally or externally - despite having the credentials for the role. I too have done this! 😏.In Psychology Today (2023), it was recorded that women face ‘gendered ageism’, which in turn impacted on their career opportunities. 🥹.But is it really discriminatory behaviour towards us, the dismissive opinions of our colleagues, negative commentators in our industry or even the media that causes us to pull back and talk ourselves out of opportunities in the workplace; or are we simply our own biggest critic? Hmmm…🤔.What do you think - and how do we change this for those coming after us? 💭 ..#loribeemua #womenempowerment #womeninwork #mindset #reset ❤️ by @loribeemua
