Week 7: Ask for help! Feb 23, 2025

Show notes

This week in the self-love journal pushes us to reflect on our ability to see when we’re doing too much and willingness to ask for help. I’ve gotten better about both of these things with age, but I am definitely a work in progress. How do you know when you’ve taken on too much? What keeps you from asking for help? Some of the exercises of the week can help you reflect on what’s on your plate and how to tackle or delegate your responsibilities/

Week 6: Happy Birthday! Feb 16, 2025

Show notes

This week in the self-love journal invites us to celebrate ourselves and the day we were born. In addition to looking back at memories of past birthday celebrations, we’re asked to look forward at what our ideal birthday celebration would look like. What are your birthday traditions? Even if you’re not into birthdays, hopefully you realize you’re worth celebrating daily!

Week 5 of the Self-Love Journal Book Club Feb 09, 2025

Show notes

This week’s affirmation reminds us that we deserve rest. It’s not a reward or something to be earned. It simply IS. Rest is how we take care of our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. It was a great reminder of something I KNOW but don’t always DO. Whether it’s skimping on sleep or not slowing down to nourish my body and spirit, I’m working on being more consistent about rest. How are you replenishing yourself?

Week 4 of the Self-Love Journal Book Club Feb 02, 2025

Show notes

Is your superpower the ability to choose? Do you trust yourself to make good decisions? I can’t say “yes” definitively to both of these questions, so this week I pushed myself to ask “why?” I realized that there are too many scenarios where I FEEL like I don’t have a choice, where really I do. And that even though I make mistakes, I still am capable of also making good decisions. I’m reclaiming my superpower, and I’d love to hear how you are, too!

Self-Love Book Club Week 3 Jan 26, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I reflect on the week’s mantra: “I am worthy of the same compassion and kindness I generously give to others.” It’s helpful to think about how we show up for friends and if we give ourselves the same grace and patience. Do you? Are you as kind to yourself as you are to others?

How Do I Talk About Politics at Work? Jan 21, 2025

Show notes

Welcome! The Raising Equity Podcast is now the Dr. Kira Banks Podcast!
In this episode, a listener reached out to ask for advice about navigating conversations about Trump and politics at work. I offer some suggestions but more importantly encourage her to lean into where she has the most control—herself. It’s important to take care of ourselves regardless of who is president but also have ways we can contribute to the change we want to see in the world.

Show notes

I hope you enjoyed the first week of the Self-Love Journal! In this episode, we reflect on the mantra “I am willing to love myself. I am worthy of unconditional love.” How do accept and love on all parts of yourself rather than only the parts that are “easy” to love?
