May is Mental Health Awareness Month—and it’s the perfect time to pause, breathe, and reflect on how we’re really doing.
We’ve all felt the weight of grind culture. The endless to-do lists, the pressure to perform, and the constant comparison can drain even the most resilient among us. But for people of color, the burden is often even heavier. Studies show that Black and Brown professionals report higher levels of workplace stress, often due to discrimination, microaggressions, and a lack of psychological safety. That pressure doesn’t go away when summer comes—it just gets buried under more expectations.
This summer, let’s change the narrative.
Use this season to reclaim your balance. Step back and ask yourself what’s really fueling your hustle. Are your goals aligned with your well-being? Are you making space for rest—not just sleep, but real restoration? Whether you’re preparing for a busy fall, getting your kids ready to return to school, or simply trying to keep up with life, you deserve to enter that next season with clarity, not burnout.
Take a digital break. Book that therapy session. Walk outside. Reconnect with joy. Set goals that serve your life—not just your LinkedIn headline.
Let’s normalize saying, “I need a moment,” and celebrating the reset that summer can offer. You are not behind. You’re right on time.
At The L3 Agency, we champion excellence—not just in how we work, but in how we rest. We believe that rest is strategic. Taking time to recharge allows us to show up better—for ourselves, our clients, and our communities.
As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’ve been hosting Instagram Lives all month long—creating intentional space for real conversations about burnout, boundaries, rest, and resilience.
✨ Join us today at 5PM CT on Instagram Live for a special conversation between our founder, Larvetta Loftin, and Jayla Head, founder of Advaco Collective Care and Consulting LLC. This powerful dialogue will explore mental health across generations, from Gen X to Gen Z. Together, they’ll unpack how practices, perspectives, and conversations around mental wellness have shifted over time—and what we can all learn from each other.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out in your career, this conversation will offer valuable insights on how to prioritize mental well-being across every stage of life.
Follow us on Instagram @The_L3_Agency and be part of the dialogue. Let’s prioritize ourselves and our healing—together.
