(Rewind) My Self-Love Was At A Deficit. How About You? 53:02

5 days ago53:02

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.

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.

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 Our Sponsors: * Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code SELFCARE for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com * Check out Wonderful Pistachios: https://WonderfulPistachios.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So I Just Said "Goodbye" To Several Thousand Ladies. Let's Talk About What's Next 37:25

Hey y’all, it’s Bre here, and this week, I’m pulling back the curtain to let you in on the big changes happening with Brown Girl Self-Care as well as with me. I recently made the decision to close down the newsletter, and today, I’m talking about why—and what’s coming next. I’ll be sharing how this next chapter of Brown Girl Self-Care will include three areas that are deeply important to me and, I think, to you too: Black Women’s Health : Taking care of our mental, physical, and emotional well-being, because health is part of our freedom. Building Businesses That Honor Rest : Talking about how we can make a living on our own terms without grinding ourselves down or having to feel fake as we do it. Living Sustainably and Bucking Norms : I'm going all in on a lifestyle that aligns with my values and supports Black women, roots keeping, our community, and my peace. So more us and less capitalism and consumerism.

Meet me on Zoom for "Gather and Be" on Monday, November 4th @ 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern. Link Here In this episode of the Brown Girl Self-Care Podcast, I'm talking about 'creasing the page' as a way to engage fully with life especially for those of us that are afraid to step out and be seen or make mistakes. I sill struggle with perfectionism, the fear of making mistakes, and in the past these fears have held me back from leaving my mark. I want to encourage you to embrace imperfection, show up authentically and take small steps towards your goals while aligning yourself with curiousity and the willingness to step out of your comfort zone.

Take Your Time, Sis: Why Black Women Must Use Their PTO, FMLA, and Short-Term Disability 37:30

32 weeks ago37:30

37:30

As the end of the year approaches, it's time to talk about something crucial: taking time off. In this episode of Brown Girl Self-Care , Bre is breaking down why Black women need to prioritize their health by using their personal time off (PTO), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and short-term disability. Many of us let our PTO go unused or feel guilty about asking for time away from work—but not taking time for yourself has real consequences. In 2024 we are going to lay claim toL the time we are leaving on the table.
