Summary

We’re warming things back up! New episodes of Balanced Black Girl are coming soon, but in the meantime we’re revisiting some inspiring conversations you need to hear.

This week we’re sharing a conversation I had the opportunity to guest on from the That Wasn’t In My Textbook podcast hosted by Toya Coleman. In this episode, uncover the radical and revolutionary history of self-care. Listen to learn about the connection between self-care and the women of the Black Panther Party, discuss the pretty and ugly sides of self-care, and so much more.

In this episode, we talk about...

  • Dive into the history of why the term 'self-care' was coined back in the 1950s.
  • Uncover the powerful links between self-care and the women of the civil rights movement and the Black Panther Party.
  • Tackle the not-so-glamorous aspects of self-care.
  • Self-care tips and tricks that you won't want to miss.

Thank you so much for tuning into this week's episode of balanced black girl. I have been on a bit of a

0:08.0

summer vacation just taking some time to rest and recharge and it has been so lovely and I

0:15.2

appreciate just the love and the kind messages from you all while I take some time off. We're not

0:20.9

quite at the point where we're bringing you new episodes yet. However, we are working on it.

0:28.3

Very excited for what's coming up. But in the meantime, we're going to wake things back up a bit

0:33.5

and I wanted to share some of my favorite rewind episodes specifically from other podcasts that I've

0:40.5

had the opportunity to be a guest on to share some of my favorites with you until we start sharing

0:48.2

new episodes again soon. And I'm really, really excited to share today's episode, which is a

0:54.6

rewind from the that wasn't in my textbook podcast. And this episode is all about the history of

1:03.0

self-care. Now that wasn't in my textbook. It's an incredible history of podcasts hosted by

1:09.8

Toya Coleman, who has also been a guest on this podcast a few years ago. Toya is just phenomenal.

1:16.2

She is an incredible historian, wonderful content creator. Content is top notch. It is just so

inviting and warm and informational. She was actually one of the very first people I met when

1:30.7

I first moved to LA years ago. And she's just such an incredible human. And I'm really, really

1:37.2

excited to get to share a bit of her podcast with you today. So a few years ago, she invited me on

1:44.1

her show to talk more about the history of self-care and learning more about what self-care truly is

1:51.0

and where self-care came from was just such an inspiring conversation. And it's something that I

1:57.0

refer back to often if I'm ever kind of out of my habits or not taking the best care of myself,

2:03.0

reminding myself where it came from and why it's important to do. It always just motivates me

2:07.9

and gets me back into it. And I thought that this conversation would be perfect to revisit this

2:12.3

time of year because fall is coming. This is the time of year where we're planting seeds and

2:18.3

starting to get back in touch with our habits at the end of summer. And so I wanted to share this
