Hey, hey, you're listening to the Brown Girl Self Care Podcast.

Now, record scratch, your girl, Bree.

I'm on sabbatical right now, just like I told you, I was going to be at the beginning of this month.

But I'm not going to leave you hanging.

You know, I always come through with something for you every Monday.

And today is no difference. So I've gone back into

the archives and got an episode for you today that really has some gems and nuggets for you as we

make our way into 2025. So light your candle, get you some chamomile tea or whatever you want to drink, and don't forget your journal.

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

So let's go ahead and get into this quick episode, y'all, because I am currently traveling cross-country

and doing like this little solo spiritual road trip that I had been talking about for the last

maybe month. And I've really obviously had some of all these things that I'm going to be

talking about today with you that I want to share with you. And I feel like that these are all

just important pieces to our self-care. So without these four things, it's going to feel like your self-care is not necessarily complete.

And like some things are missing, okay?

And I don't believe that we need to be perfect.

I don't think that there is a way to quote unquote do self-care

perfectly. But I do feel like there are some essentials that we want to make sure that we are

leaning into at the appropriate time. And only you know when that is right for you. Right.

So let's go ahead and get into it. I have four S's for you.

And if you have a journal and a pen or you're able to take notes as you're sitting here and listening, then, you know, that's totally cool.

So the four Ss are silence, solitude, stillness, and surrender. Again, silence, solitude, stillness, and surrender. Okay?
