Hey, hey, Cystrin, welcome back to the Brown Girl self-care podcast.

My name is Brie Mitchell.

I am the host of the show as well as the founder of Brown Girl self-care.

Brown Girl self-care is a space where black women get to where the healing resides.

Let's go ahead and get into today's episode.

And honestly, this is a very long title, but title of this episode, more or less, and

I might change this at some point, but title of this episode is, I'm not going to front.

In 2022, I was scared about one thing, and I'm just going to cut to the chase right here

and let you know that what I was most fearful of in 2022 when it came to Brown Girl self-care

was letting you down and also not representing, quote unquote, black excellence.

So I want to talk about that with you in case you are struggling, feeling guilt about,

you know, not being all the things, letting people down in your community and your family,

et cetera.

I want to talk about that today.

The first before I do, I want to, first of all, you know, just as I always try to do,

I want to say thank you.

Thank you so much for, you know, being here in community with me as we move forward together

collectively.

Thank you for showing up every week, the way that you do.

I do actually want to go ahead and do a shout out on this podcast for someone that left a five star

rating and review on iTunes.

I try to do that from time to time.
