(Rewind) My Self-Love Was At A Deficit. How About You? May 26, 2025

Show notes

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 craving
The emotional toll of always showing up for others
Why some of us need to completely tear down our foundations and start over
Why self-love isn’t selfish or soft — it’s necessary
A question that might help you get closer to your own self-love

This one is for the woman who’s been giving everything but feels empty inside. You’re not alone — and you can rebuild.

What Black Women Need To Hear About Rest, Money and Doing Less in 2025 May 19, 2025

Show notes

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. Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

In this episode of Brown Girl Self-Care, we're cutting through the noise and naming the truth:

Black women are not the problem — the systems are.

Capitalism, white supremacy, grind culture, and patriarchy have conditioned us to blame ourselves for exhaustion, financial struggle, and “inconsistency.” But that ends here.

We’re not just naming the harm — we’re talking about how to push back in 2025. From reclaiming rest, to doing less without guilt, to unlearning money shame, this episode is your reminder that healing and resistance can co-exist.

In this episode, I cover:

Why rest still feels hard (and who benefits from that)
How capitalism set us up to fail with money
The truth about “doing the most” and what it costs us
Real ways to resist — even if you're still tired, in debt, or just getting started

This is for you if:

You’ve been feeling like you’re not doing enough
You’re healing while still playing the game
You’re ready to choose rest, ease, and clarity — without guilt

If Mother's Day Left You Feeling Heavy May 12, 2025

Show notes

If you’re feeling heavy the day after Mother’s Day, this episode is for you. Whether the day brought up grief, frustration, numbness, or just left you feeling emotionally off, you are not alone. In this gentle episode, I’m holding space for the Black women who are expected to “bounce back” on Monday when their hearts are still tender. We’re talking about softening into the week, honoring your truth, and giving yourself permission to move slow. You’ll also hear a series of affirmations to carry with you as you reclaim your energy, one breath at a time.

Don't Let Others Shame You Into Thinking Your Life Is "Boring." May 05, 2025

First things first! I want to invite you to join me on May 14th at 7pm CDT for the "Take The Mic, Take up Space!" Podcasting 101 Workshop for Black women. You can sign up right here. This is a virtual event, being held on Zoom, that I'm hosting where I'll teach you how to get your podcast started, no more excuses. If you've been looking for a sign to start using your voice, this is it.

Now, onto todays episode. Have you ever been called boring or even a square? I have been several times and I allowed that to shame me into trying to be someone that i was never intended to be. I realized that the idea that I was too boring to show up or share parts of my life online (parts that I deem aren't too private or sacred) had a huge impact on my business and and even how I felt about myself. If this is you too, I'm sharing some takeaways I want you to consider.

From Fear to Worth: Navigating the Path to Self-Trust Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

Now, on to todays episode. I decided to let chatgpt give me a prompt that would help me do some self-reflection and it didn't disappoint. 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.

Don't be afraid to use the prompt in todays episode to see what comes up for you.
