Yasmine Cheyenne’s best beauty and self-confidence tip is to trust your intuition

The best lesson in self-confidence and beauty Yasmine Cheyenne what she has learned to this point is to trust her intuition. It is sensible that her latest book titled Wisdom of the Path, available today, would focus on this data. “When I wrote my first book, Jar of Sugar, I used to be writing this chapter that had nothing to do with the book” and which was about setting boundaries. Instead of forcing it, Cheyenne used it as the premise for his latest project.

“It’s more about forgiving yourself for the choices you’ve made in the past,” Cheyenne tells ESSENCE from her home in Washington, DC. “I think many of us feel like we are held hostage by past mistakes. In this book you will learn how to use these lessons as your inner wisdom. They don’t have to hold you back from your future. They can really help guide you into your future,” he adds. “I hope readers realize that we are absolutely limitless.”

Before writing and creating content on wellness and mental health, Cheyenne worked within the United States Air Force where she served as a victims’ advocate. In other words, she was “a person who helped support people who were victims of crime, domestic violence and the like,” Cheyenne explains. “It opened my eyes to wellness, healing and trauma. I immediately became interested in how I could help people get to the other side of really difficult times.” However, her passion for writing blossomed earlier – across the age of 9 – which ultimately led her to major in journalism in college.

In her free time, Cheyenne practices what she preaches by watching shows, meditating, going for each day walks, and maintaining her basic beauty routine of face masks and products Sophia Pavitt, including Elta MD and Cécred. Self-care also is available in the shape of spending time with your community. “I feel best when I’m with people who I can just be myself with and have fun. This is really important to me,” he says. “Also, being with my kids and doing something silly like dancing or chasing them around the park helps me feel really grounded and present.”

And speaking of community, that is what excites her most about her latest enterprise. “I’m going to do a book tour in New York, DC, Los Angeles and Miami,” he says. Instead of connecting online, he says, “I can’t wait to connect with people in real life.” Throughout these conversations on and off the book, you’ll be able to expect Cheyenne to strive to remain authentic. “The most important thing that helps me share my vulnerability is knowing that what I am sharing is a scar. It’s not an open wound. I’ve worked through it,” she says. “No matter what anyone might think, I feel strong enough to deal with it.” Ultimately, I never want anyone to feel like they’re alone in what they’re going through. “I’m with you all on this.”
