We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Nubia Adams. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Nubia below.
Hi Nubia, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?
Developing confidence has been a journey of practice and intention. I’ve found that as you grow comfortable with yourself, self confidence begins to come natural. As a person who grew up with little confidence I learned to work from the inside out. My self love deepened with knowledge and acceptance of self. When I sought knowledge of self it led to more self awareness and wisdom of what makes me who I am. It gave me grace for my humanness and imperfection.
Things I have found helpful with developing self confidence are affirmations, mirror work and self expression through style, music, the arts and finding your creative niche. Journaling will also help you discover your voice. Understanding your natal chart may help you discover which areas of your life rule confidence and self esteem.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I am a multi passionate creative specializing in holistic skincare and herbal wellness. My work is a collection of traditionally prepared herbal infusions, tisanes, oil and clay-based products formulated with raw, organic, plant-based materials. I alchemize raw herbs, clays and oils into whole body self care offerings. What I feel makes my work special is that it’s functional art, aesthetically pleasing to the eye but purposeful and effective. Our mission has been to simplify natural beauty, to keep your skincare routine minimal. We believe if your skin is suffering or behaving sensitively it’s best to keep it simple. Our website recently reopened on 11/11/2023, all of our offerings can be found online at nbubathbotanicals.com.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Qualities that have been impactful on my journey have been adaptability and flexibility; the ability to surrender and flow. I seek to always be a student, to expand knowledge of my craft. When you feel stuck or don’t know what to do, go back to the drawing board. Understanding that you know nothing, you will always be in a state of wonder and discovery. I commit to studying what I love. Follow and invest in your passions. Find value and purpose in all things you create. Stay in tune with nature it will teach you a lot about yourself, your cycles, seasons and show you to honor the process.
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
When I feel overwhelmed I take a moment to pause, be still, remove distractions and reduce stimulation. I utilize sacred movement, sound cleansing and breathwork as medicine in addition to herbal allies that support the nervous system.
I have found herbal bathing as an effective form of energetic cleansing which led me to build a business centering this self care ritual. I remove the pressure to perform and please others and do consistent cup check-ins with myself to see where I am lacking, what areas need attention and nourishment.
