Hey, you are listening to the Brown Girl Self Care podcast. My name is Bree and I'm the host of the show as well as the founder of Brown Girl Self Care. Brown Girl Self Care is a platform and space of intentional healing, joy and rest for black women. Yes, Black girl, for you, for you and you and you and me. This space is for us. All right. So I do have a rewind episode for you. It's from 2023, but it is so timely. I'm going to be talking about creasing that damn page, sis.

Crease the page. And I'm bringing this up or I'm doing a rewind episode on this because

a lot of us are scared to make mistakes. We're dealing with fear and anxiety. We're afraid to be

seen. We want to start a business, but we can't because we can't show up and be visible.

We're just sometimes afraid to make our mark on life because it can be messy. We might make a mistake. It could be hard. The world's going to see it. It's not going to look perfect anymore. And so I dealt with that last year and I'm still dealing with this by the way

okay I'm just letting you know but I had a revelation last year and I want to share that with you so

that's what you're going to hear after the jump however before I get to that real quick it's going

just take a second I don't know if you've seen this or not, but y'all,

speaking of showing up, haven't really been on, like, Zoom-type meetups in quite some time.

I've been doing my own thing and just living my life and some other things.

But this Monday, if you're listening to this episode on November 4th, this Monday, okay, at 5 p.m. Pacific, or specific, as some of us say, 5 p.m.

Pacific was at 8 p.m. Eastern. You and I, if you're available, we're going to get on Zoom for an hour,

and we're going to make space for just room to breathe and to be. Okay? So we're going to gather

and be. That's the name of this series I want to be doing on Zoom, gather NB,

a.k.a. breathing room for us. And I want to do it the day before elections because it's a big deal.

And I put a poll on Instagram or threads or whatever. I'm on threads now, y'all. Shout out to me.

Look at God. Won't he do it? Because you know, I don't like social media like that.

But I put a thread out maybe like a week or so or a week or two ago, and I was just saying like black girl, how you feeling?

What's going on?

And a lot of people said, or a lot of black women, I don't care about what the other people said, a lot of black women were saying they're a little anxious.

They're, they're feeling some kind of way.

They're a little nervous about what potentially can happen this
