ABOUT

Hello, my name is Elizabeth, Executive Director and founder of M.O.M

Mind Over Matters Inc (M.O.M) was concepted in 2019 through the suicide loss survivor experience.

Dedicated to my mother, LULA STANLEY, I wanted to find a way to help those suffering from mental health conditions and reach out to the families and members of community struggling.

My goal is to give to others what I didn’t have, support. Even in the age of the internet and social media, there’s nothing like the “human” touch and compassion.

TIPS AND TRICKS

"You don't have to be productive 24/7

You don’t have to earn rest. You deserve peace.
Rest is not a reward- It’s a necessity.
Take care of your mental health by listening to your body, honoring your emotions, and knowing that slowing down is the most powerful thing you can do!

"SLEEP!"

As an aspiring neuroscientist, it’s astounding to me how little others recognize the importance of quality sleep and its impact on our brain for a lifetime.

"My cat and dog calm me down when I'm stressing"

My cat travels with me when the hotels I work out of are pet friendly. My girls get to pet and play with him during breaks in the schedule at pageants. He keeps them in a good mood and relaxed.

add* Emotional support animals have become a prevalent coping mechanism.
"Remember that you belong in places where you want to belong"

This mental health tip was given to me by a therapist a few years ago during a time I was struggling with feelings of isolation and being excluded. She said “You don’t ‘t need an invitation or permission from someone else. I decide if I am good enough to belong somewhere.” It totally changed my perspective on things at the time. I think it’s relevant to pageants as well, where we can be so susceptible to playing the comparison game
