This episode is specifically for those of us who grew up believing that we were "bad" or too flawed to be loved due to how we were treated as children/the conditioning we received in our childhood years. I've been thinking about my identity a lot as of late and once I learned that our identities were perfect when we were born, it made a profound shift in my life. Instead of grasping blindly at trying to be someone I'm not, I'm more focused on nurturing my "soil." Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

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.

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 Sometimes we need to ask for grace, and there is no shame in that. Whether it’s adjusting a financial commitment, backing out of a purchase, or simply admitting that we don’t have the capacity for something right now—giving ourselves permission to be honest is an act of self-care. In this episode, I share two real-life moments this week where I had to step back and say, “I can’t do this right now.” It wasn’t easy. It felt a little embarrassing. But I let that go because the reality is this: Being honest about what you need is responsible, not shameful. Come get this reminder that we are all human and that self-preservation is a must.

5 Things To Remember When Taking Unplanned Breaks From The Grind 32:13

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.

(Replay) Black Women Must Forever Have Their Faces "Fixed" vs Our Humanity Honored 31:42

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.

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.

This year has had some amazing things come to fruition, but it was also hard in some ways. too. When you are the one in your family or circle breaking generational cycles, or if you are blooming into some life changes right now, it's easy for our minds to feel like it's always going to stay hard or that you will struggle forever. Choosing peace as I'm talking about in this episode isn't about bypassing your feelings or pretending that everything is cool. Instead it's deciding that you are doing the best you can and that it is ok to lay claim to peace instead of chaos. I wanted to share a quick insight from the book 'The Four Pivots' by Shawn A. Ginwright, PhD. Specifically I'm highlighting a powerful quote from the book: 'I choose peace of mind instead of this.' It brought me so much clarity as I continue working through some challenges that my hope is that it's a powerful affirmation for you as well.
