Those Times I Preferred Surgery Instead Of Working Aug 16, 2021

Show notes

I know I'm not the only one that would get excited about having surgery because it meant at least 4-6 weeks off of work, right? The thing is that I was using avoidance (not addressing the challenges I had or how I felt) to navigate my life but that didn't mean the problems I had disappeared.

In this episode I'm sharing three things I had to learn to do that helped me get a better handle on my avoidance issues.

In the episode I mention the link I found on CNN in case you would like to help support Haiti. Click here!

Girl, Stop Being Wishy Washy! Aug 09, 2021

Show notes

Laughing but so serious!

Hey Sistren, today I'm having sharing a part of my growth/personal development journey. I have a habit of switching up something I'm going to do and instead moving forward on someone's suggestion because they are in a (sometimes perceived) place of authority.

Sound like you?

Listen to this weeks episode where I'm sharing three things I want you you (and me) to do before automatically shifting the direction of our businesses and lives.

Black Women Are "Quitters" Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

Hey, Hey!

Saying this off the top - There is LANGUAGE in this episode.

Today I'm sharing my thoughts on how Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka were called "quitters" for choosing their mental health over entertaining the masses. It takes courage to put yourself first and girl, I need you to know that it's ok to do so.

Let's get into it in todays episode.

If Sh*t Hits The Fan, Are You Ready w/ Pro Prepper Tifani Gilliam Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

Hey Sistren,

This week, I'm in conversation Tifani Gilliam, Founder of Women Surviving SHTF™.

As the saying goes - If you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready - and I'm a firm believer that women, especially Black women, must be prepared for emergencies. Our communities are not prioritized the way that we deserve and so if something happens (heaven forbid) like another flood, massive earthquake, or civil unrest, being able to safely stay indoors or quickly leave our homes with what we need to survive and take care of ourselves is not an option.

I need you to do three things:

Have a pen and notepad ready to take notes

Commit to spending 30 minutes after the episode reflecting on three ways you can begin your prep work journey today

Show notes

Hey Sistren,

Gotta quickie but goodie this week in the form of some reflection. When I say the word "rest" do you automatically think of sleep? There are other ways to rest and today I'm talking about some of them in the hopes that you will get laser focused on what type you need when you need it.

Tickets are now available for the Brown Girl Self-Care Virtual Summit!
