The work discussed in this episode, as we enter the final days of 2025, is not just about ending the year on a high. What I feel it is, is an opportunity to see 2026 as the year your authentic self is non-negotiable. In this episode we are talking about self-care through the lens of transition, a fresh start, into the new year. In this episode let's explore: Winter as the Shedding Season: Using the end of 2025 as a time to identify and release the societal expectations and masks that stifle our authentic selves.Decolonizing Your Worth: Challenging narratives of strength and productivity to embrace softness, vulnerability, and rest.Returning to Your Roots: The importance of reconnecting with hobbies, creativity, and ancestral wisdom that spark your mind, heart, and spirit.

In this episode, I'm getting honest about the moments when your spirit is no longer whispering, but instead she’s tapping you on the shoulder, side-eyeing you, and begging you to just sit down somewhere.As Black women, we’re praised for pushing through, carrying everything, and keeping it all together. But this season is about something different: honoring your humanity, choosing ease, and learning to pause before life forces you to.We’ll explore the 5 signs that show up when you’re out of alignment: when you’re scattered instead of centered drained instead of nourished ✨eactive instead of peaceful doubting instead of grounded and disconnected instead of intuitive Our Sponsors: * Check out Bilt: https://joinbilt.com/selfcare * Check out Calm: https://calm.com/BGSC * Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/brown-girl-self-care/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

If you are in need of a reminder to slow down, be present and not feel pressured to buy/have "all the things", this episode is definitely for you!Recently, i watched a movie on Hulu called "Perfect Days" about a toilet cleaner in Japan.

This episode, what I'm doing for the next 30 days is going to sound crazy. I get it. It needs to be done though because I'm locking in on how I'm blooming versus worrying about laboring to earn money. In our culture 9-5'ing/grinding is where our energy primarily goes and if there is anything left we do a little tending to ourselves. I'm flipping the narrative for the next 30 days and making self-care the primary and working secondary. Listen in to learn more about the framework I'll be using.

I tried recording this episode on Sunday and when I went to upload it, there was no audio. So I decided to hop onto Youtube Live on Monday morning and record it there. *Trigger Warning* In todays episode I'll be sharing about a young Black woman who unfortunately took her own life. The point of the share is to not only say her name, but to reinforce the idea of Black women staying Black Woman centered. No one cares about Black women the way that Black women do. We need each other.

I want to preface this episode with a couple of things:#1 – Extreme self-care isn’t about shock value. It’s about survival, liberation, and choosing yourself when everything around you says don’t.#2 – The choices I’m sharing in this episode may feel uncomfortable, even unthinkable, because Black women are socialized to endure instead of disrupt. But these choices are valid. They are powerful. And they are yours to claim.In this episode of the Brown Girl Self-Care Podcast, I’m talking about five extreme self-care moves that many of us are told we can’t choose:Cutting off a parentDeclining the caregiver roleChoosing not to have childrenLeaving the traditional churchInvesting in yourself first To live well we sometimes have to be extreme or disrupt the status quo.

Boundaries don’t always look like cutting people off or quitting jobs. The ones that actually keep you from burning out are the daily boundaries — the small choices that say: my time, my body, and my energy belong to me.In this episode, I’m breaking down five daily boundaries that protect your sanity:Not answering texts right awaySaying “I can’t talk right now”Blocking off the first 30 minutes of your morningLeaving when you’re readyRefusing to explain your “no”These may look simple, but they’re radical. Because every time a Black woman says no to urgency, over-functioning, or people-pleasing, she’s also saying no to the systems that demand her exhaustion.Listen in if you’re ready to stop being “on call” for the world and start saving your energy for yourself.Book a B.E.I.N.G. self-care session with me Our Sponsors: * Check out Quince: https://quince.com/selfcare * Check out Wonderful Pistachios: https://WonderfulPistachios.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/brown-girl-self-care/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We are out here building businesses, doing side gigs, dreaming about walking in our purpose, right? Yes! As we do this, there may be a pull for you to get out there and showboat just how well you are doing by flaunting your income while encouraging others to quit their job and "get like you." This episode is a reminder that this isn't the way to grow. There will be ups and downs in your entrepreneurial journey.

But what happens when you finally get the space you’ve been asking for... and it doesn’t feel good?In this episode, I talk about the raw, often ignored reality of what spaciousness brings up: the discomfort, the second-guessing, the urge to fill the quiet.

Hey, hey!!This is a replay episode from 2022 and I'm being very, very real about ways "I" was not a safe space for other Black women when I was younger. This is an eye-opening episode because we never intend to harm but if there is unresolved trauma, it's very possible that at some point we will. Recording this episode humbled me but I 'm sharing because it's not about judgement or blame but about awareness and reflection as we continue leaning into community care and support for one another.

Listen to the episode from 2020Link to the free mini quideIn this episode, I share a moment that caught even me by surprise — when I was out walking and found myself shoulder-checking someone who didn’t make space for me on the sidewalk. It wasn’t aggressive. It wasn’t loud. But it was intentional.And I didn’t apologize.This story became a reflection on the ways Black women are taught to shrink, to step aside, to stay small — and what it means to finally stop doing that.I talk about:What really happened that day on the sidewalkHow that moment helped me see how much I’ve yielded in the pastThe truth I didn’t want to admit: it was intentional — and I’m not sorryThe quiet power in holding your ground when you’ve been trained not toWhy taking up space isn’t arrogance — it’s ancestralThis episode is for the Black woman who’s tired of stepping aside — physically, emotionally, or spiritually — just to keep the peace. If you’ve been shrinking and you’re ready to return to yourself, this one is for you.

In this heartfelt rewind episode, I take you inside a quiet moment of reflection at a solo retreat where I finally let the tears come. I talk about what it means to give so much to others while constantly putting ourselves last, and why so many Black women — myself included — struggle to give the same love, softness, and support to ourselves.I share:Why crying helped me realize what my soul is cravingThe emotional toll of always showing up for othersWhy some of us need to completely tear down our foundations and start overWhy self-love isn’t selfish or soft — it’s necessaryA question that might help you get closer to your own self-loveThis one is for the woman who’s been giving everything but feels empty inside. You’re not alone — and you can rebuild.

I wasn't sure that I would share this when I hit record because this was a personal note that I created for myself to process my thoughts on fear + self-worth. I'm sharing this because I want YOU to trust your voice. It's hard to trust your voice if you are searching for the perfect thing to say or the perfect thing to feel. Healing is not about an aesthetic, it's about being real, raw and unfiltered. Using your voice can be a great step to becoming a place of safety for yourself and this is so important.

Here, the care of ourselves—and the care for each other—become sacred acts of justice, powerful ways of honoring our humanity in a world that doesn’t.In this episode I want to remind Black women of the importance of giving themselves their best. We have got to stop reserving our 'pretty' for others or future occasions. Black women have done enough, we have given enough, it's beyond time we utilize our best for our benefit before it is given away to others. On top of that, I'm tired of playing the supporting character in life so I share a bit about that, too. 2025 is about shaking tables and no longer hiding ourselves.

It felt a little embarrassing.

Brown Girl Self-Care is where Black women reclaim our wholeness and power in a world that demands our labor but denies our humanity. Here, the care of ourselves—and the care for each other—become sacred acts of justice, powerful ways of honoring our humanity in a world that doesn’t.In this episode of the Brown Girl Self-Care podcast, I’m opening up about what I learned from taking an unplanned break. After moving and needing time to settle in, I found myself sitting in the discomfort of not producing—of not showing up in the ways I usually do. And even though I knew I needed the rest, there was still that lingering feeling that I should be doing more.I’ll share how this experience reminded me that we are often more tired than we realize, how the pressure to always be productive is deeply tied to colonization and capitalism, and why it’s so important to give ourselves permission to pause before burnout forces us to stop.In this episode, I’m sharing five key things to keep in mind when you’re struggling to rest:You’re probably more tired than you even realize. We’ve been conditioned to run on empty for so long that exhaustion can feel normal—until we finally stop.Resting will make you uncomfortable at first. When we’re used to equating our worth with productivity, stepping back can feel unnatural. That’s colonization talking.The world won’t fall apart because you take a break. We carry so much on our shoulders, but the truth is, things will keep moving even when we pause.You don’t have to feel “ready” to rest. If you’re waiting for a perfect moment to slow down, it’ll never come. Your body, mind, and spirit need care now.You have permission to pause. You don’t have to earn your rest. You don’t have to justify it. Rest is your birthright.If you’ve ever felt uneasy about slowing down—like you’re somehow falling behind or not doing enough—this episode is for you.

Brown Girl Self-Care is a space where Black women come to honor our humanity and reclaim our power in a world that takes us for granted. Here, choosing ourselves—our healing, our joy, and our rest—is an act of radical resistance and deep self-love.In this episode, we’re exploring the emotional toll that masking takes on Black women. We’ll start with a few deep breaths to create a calming space and then dive into my journey of setting boundaries and acknowledging my emotions, reminding us that healing can bring up some friction.We’ll also unpack the societal pressures Black women face to mask their true feelings, using Angela Bassett’s reaction at the Oscars as an example. This conversation critiques cultural expectations that demand we hide our pain to keep others comfortable, and instead encourages us to embrace our humanity, honor our emotions, and create spaces where we can be authentic.Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

In this quick episode, let's talk about the idea of breaking free from legalism and embracing grace as a foundation for personal growth in this new season. Legalism is the strict adherence to moral codes that kept me stuck for years until I realized how important it was for me to unlearn the harm of this kind of mindset. If you are moving towards more self-love, acceptance, and peace, your daily practice of life has got to include allowing for more grace and less strictness.
