Instead of chasing the elusive work-life balance, Khadija A Tudor, founder of Life Wellness Center in Bedstuy, prioritizes flow. “Women helping women starts from you helping yourself. We learn throughout our lives that we are supposed to push through pain, ignore it, and keep working. As women, we tend to neglect ourselves. When we do pay attention to our needs, there’s this low-grade fever of guilt and I rebuke that. I rebuke the concept that I'm supposed to live in any kind of pain emotionally, spiritually, or physically. I don’t even like tight shoes!”
