Summary
Have you ever looked at your life and realized things are not going the way you initially designed or imagined? You’re making the changes, you’re being intentional, you’re doing the work—but that "one great thing" you had your heart set on just didn't pan out.
In this intimate solo episode I am reminding you that there is something amazing (many somethings in fact) out there for you even if your "one great thing" slipped out of reach.
We often tie our worth to a specific outcome, believing that if we just get that one thing, everything will be perfect and we’ll finally be "good enough." But what if that disappointment is actually a mirror?
In This Episode, We Cover:
- The "One Great Thing" Trap: Why we mistakenly give external milestones the power to validate our entire existence.
- Sitting in the Lane: The radical act of allowing yourself to feel disappointment without rushing to fix it or force a pivot.
- Who Are You Becoming? Shifting the focus from what you can get to who you are growing into while you wait.
Key Takeaways to Carry With You:
"Sometimes we have to just sit in that initial lane of disappointment for the things that we don't get, that we had our heart set on. That doesn't mean that goodness is not for you. It just means that it's gonna look different than what you imagine."
"Sometimes there's a lesson in the waiting. And it's not so much about what you can get, but about who you are becoming or who you are growing into as you wait."

| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, what's going on? You are listening to the Brown Girl Self Care Podcast. My name is Bree, and I'm the host of the show. So, first things first, I promise that I would be doing video podcast episodes with girl, girl, girl. I can't do one this week because I am literally about 90%, let me not lie, 85% done with taking down my micro-twist or micro-locks. |
| 0:29.7 | And so it's giving mess right now. |
| 0:33.4 | And, you know, I don't feel like I have to show it perfectly, but I just, you know, in my mind, I envision this, you know, the Cynthia doll from the Rugrats. |
| 0:44.1 | Like, it's giving that to me. |
| 0:46.8 | Anyway, so I just want to let you know that I'm still committed to doing video episodes that you can watch on Spotify. |
| 0:52.7 | In fact, you can go back not last week's episode, but a few |
| 0:56.2 | episodes before this one. And you'll see there should be maybe two or three videos because I am |
| 1:02.5 | doing those and releasing them on Spotify as a part of this podcast. So I am still committed |
| 1:08.6 | to a big girl. This week just ain't the week. And that's okay. All right. Now, with that said, how you doing? Let's go ahead and get into the episode. |
| 1:19.1 | So, you know, this episode, I want to talk about the fact that there is something that is out there for you. |
| 1:28.3 | In fact, there are many somethings that are out there for you that are available to you, that are yours for the claiming. |
| 1:33.3 | But before we get into today's episode, let's go ahead and just set the move for a minute. |
| 1:38.3 | I think I want to get back into us just taking a deep breath at the beginning of each episode. |
| 1:42.3 | I got away from that a long time ago, |
| 1:44.9 | but we need to really allow ourselves time to separate us, our body, our spirits, our minds |
| 1:52.5 | from this idea of hustle culture, always being on the go, always doing everything quick, fast, |
| 1:59.8 | and in a hurry. I know that I am someone who I |
| 2:02.5 | catch myself holding my breath all the time depending on, you know, kind of like what's going on |
| 2:07.4 | in my environment or around me. And so let's just go ahead and take a quick breath. I want you to |
| 2:14.2 | drop your shoulders and really, again, just get out of this place of instant and hustle |
| 2:23.0 | and and you know grind culture and all that all right so let's just go ahead and take a breath together |
| 2:28.6 | we're just going to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth and I'm going to guide you we're just going to do it one times on the count of three I want you to take a big inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. And I'm going to guide you. |
