Eff the Cubicle Fridays: A New Chapter Begins In this episode, I’m introducing a brand new series called Eff the Cubicle Fridays . This series was born from my desire to break free from the 9-to-5 grind that was draining the life out of me. I share the story of how I launched this podcast while working in a high-pressure corporate job, terrified my employer would find out, and how that fear pushed me to move anyway. We’re talking entrepreneurship, creativity, personal growth, and what it means to reclaim your time and voice. If you’ve been dreaming of building something outside the system—or you’ve already started—this series is for you. 🎙️ Ready to Start or Sustain Your Podcast?

Black Women Are Not Stepping Off The Sidewalk Anymore 35:41

6 days ago35:41

35:41

Listen to the episode from 2020 Link to the free mini quide In this episode, I share a moment that caught even me by surprise — when I was out walking and found myself shoulder-checking someone who didn’t make space for me on the sidewalk. It wasn’t aggressive. It wasn’t loud. But it was intentional. And I didn’t apologize. This story became a reflection on the ways Black women are taught to shrink, to step aside, to stay small — and what it means to finally stop doing that. I talk about: What really happened that day on the sidewalk How that moment helped me see how much I’ve yielded in the past The truth I didn’t want to admit: it was intentional — and I’m not sorry The quiet power in holding your ground when you’ve been trained not to Why taking up space isn’t arrogance — it’s ancestral This episode is for the Black woman who’s tired of stepping aside — physically, emotionally, or spiritually — just to keep the peace. If you’ve been shrinking and you’re ready to return to yourself, this one is for you.

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

20 days ago53:02

53:02

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.

What Black Women Need To Hear About Rest, Money and Doing Less in 2025 52:15

27 days ago52:15

52:15

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

If you've been looking for a sign to start using your voice, this is it. 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. 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. In this episode I want to remind Black women of the importance of giving themselves their best. We have got to stop reserving our 'pretty' for others or future occasions. Black women have done enough, we have given enough, it's beyond time we utilize our best for our benefit before it is given away to others. On top of that, I'm tired of playing the supporting character in life so I share a bit about that, too. 2025 is about shaking tables and no longer hiding ourselves.

Black women deal with societal systems every day that are not designed for us to thrive and I've come to realize that I have to break free from fear, perfectionism and imposter syndrome so that I can reject traditional 9-5 labor and instead do things that tap into my purpose and joy.

I want to STRESS the importance of shedding shame and guilt tied to financial hardships while discussing the conditioning and societal expectations that often plague Black women. My hope is that other 'cycle breakers' will continue to prioritize healing, make intentional choices, and reframe their mindset around money and self-worth as they navigate their unique journeys in 2025 alongside me.

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.
