Hey, what's going on you're listening to the Brown Girl Self Care podcast.

My name is Brie Mitchell.

I'm the host of the show as well as the founder of Brown Girl Self Care.

Brown Girl Self Care is a space and platform of intentional healing, rest, joy, and abundance for

black women. I realize that changes almost every time I say it, so I kind of get a

little chuckle in my throat, but I swear I just want to say all kinds of things at the beginning so yeah that's what it was that's what that's what my spirit was feeling today

So first of all welcome into the space. I'm so glad that you're here.

it's because I'm recording on my phone,

So when that happens for me I do get a little tired and as you know or as I hope you know like if you are tired

it can sometimes open you up for I don't want to say illness or anything like that

because I don't want to speak that over your life, but it can open you up to just not feeling your best. How about we just say that? You're not

necessarily feeling your most energetic self that
