Year End Reflection + Guided Journaling Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of Balanced Black Girl Podcast, I’m guiding you through a year-end reflection exercise to acknowledge our greatest lessons of 2020, and begin calling in where we want to go in 2021.

As we get ready for next year and reflect on this year, I want you to think about where you were this time last year and I want you to think about where you are right now. We have had a trying, difficult, and traumatizing year. We have all grown in ways that we may not even understand. In order to uncover how much we have grown, we need to understand where we have been. So when you’re thinking about who you are in this moment and who you were 365 days ago, your outlook, your priorities, your sense of resilience, your belief in yourself. What has changed? What lessons have you learned along the way?

In this episode, I talk about:

Year-end reflection to acknowledge our greatest lessons of 2020
How to begin to call in where we want to go in 2021
Uncovering who you are at this moment and who you were 365 days ago
Navigating how much we've grown by first understanding where we have been

Guided reflection questions to ask yourself:

My biggest lesson of 2020 was…
My greatest blessing of 2020 was…
This is who I’ve grown…
I’m proud of myself for…
I’m calling in…

78 | You’re Worthy – Honoring Your Spiritual Evolution with Lyvonne Proverbs Briggs Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

Content warning: Mention of sexual trauma and pregnancy loss

Today's conversation is about our spiritual evolutions and how that plays into our wellness. Spirituality is individual and for those who grew up in the church, that is often your first and largest spiritual influence. There are also some people who start to approach spirituality differently – people who want to have a hybrid of some of those church practices that they grew up with and some of the spiritual practices they learned about at different points in life.

Our guest today is Lyvonne Proverbs Briggs (aka “Pastor Bae”) a body and sex-positive preacher, writer, speaker, and spiritual life coach. Lyvonne is the founder of Beautiful Scars, a healing-centered storytelling agency focused on fostering pleasure and resiliency. She is also the curator of The Proverbial Experience, an Instagram church. Briggs has been featured in ESSENCE, Cosmopolitan, and The Washington Post, and Sojourners named her one of “11 Women Shaping the Church.” Briggs, an NYC native, is currently based in New Orleans, LA.

Lyvonne is dedicated to her faith and helping Black women heal their childhood trauma and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to share her story and mission.

In this episode, we talk about…

Decolonizing your faith, African spirituality, and having a sense of curiosity
Releasing shame related to sexual trauma
Fostering conversations about our sexuality in our everyday conversations
Trusting your inner knowing because that’s where the power lives
Sensuality vs. sexuality and the ongoing practice of honoring your body
What it means to be a Surthrivor

76 | Dismantling Colorism with Dr. Sarah L. Webb of Colorism Healing Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Sarah L. Webb is currently an Assistant Professor in the department of English and Modern Languages at the University of Illinois Springfield. Dr. Webb first wrote publicly about colorism in the summer of 2011 in a post titled: “Colorism: 5 Reasons I Haven’t Said Much… Yet.”

After seeing the interest, positive responses, and negative reactions to her early writing on colorism, Dr. Webb recognized the need for a dynamic platform dedicated entirely to this issue. She also saw the need to focus on solutions, and so she launched the blog Colorism Healing in July 2013.

The goals of Colorism Healing are to raise critical awareness about colorism as a global issue by providing a hub of information and resources, foster individual and collective healing as well as systemic solutions by producing, facilitating, and curating creative and critical work.

In this episode, we talk about…

The history of colorism, and its roots in anti-blackness.
Understanding systemic inequalities that stem from colorism.
How to navigate gaslighting in relation to colorism.
Ways we can build trust and strengthen sisterhood among Black women of all skin tones.
The intersection of colorism and patriarchy.
Healing from the effects of colorism.
