Hey, hey, you're listening to the Brown Girl Self-Care podcast. What is going on? Happy Monday.

My name is Bri Mitchell. I am the host of the show as well as the founder of Brown Girl Self-Care.

This is a safe space for black women where we get to all topics that point us in the direction. Excuse me of healing,

loving ourselves,

abundance, joy, living well. That's what this show is for. If this is your first time, tapping in,

welcome, welcome. And if you've been rolling with me for a while, I'm so glad that you're here.

So first things first, how did you survive Thanksgiving? How did you survive the holiday?

I personally, I think I've shared this before. I

don't really do holidays like that. I think just because of how I grew up and just I don't know.

So holidays are not a very traditional thing for me. Well specific holidays, I should say.

Thanksgiving literally threw some ribs in the oven made some black mac and cheese, you know,

the black folk kind and made a vegetable. And my daughter likes that, and I do too. I ain't

going front, but she always wants mac and cheese with the, what's that canned, what's that purple

stuff called? Not pomegranate. The name is escaping me. You guys know what I'm talking about, right?

The purple stuff that comes in the cranberry sauce. Lord have mercy. She loves that. So I always

oblige whenever possible. So that's what we had. And it was a nice time. I got to relax and rest

in all those things. And it was perfect for me. That was exactly like I am the person that,

especially if I'm not, if I'm not like boot up or anything, I'm the person who just likes to chill,

have a glass of wine, catch up on shows, lay across somebody's couch, which would be my couch.

And unless my daughter wants to do something, so sometimes it just depends, like we might play

games or cards or I might play video games with her or whatever. You know what I mean? So it's

just a pretty chill time. So that's what I did. My hope for you is that as we kind of go kicking
