Take Nothing When I Die Stephanie Ghoston Paul

What a JOURNEY!! Take Nothing When I Die hit SO MANY MILESTONES! From my gorgeous guests, to a guest interviewing me to almost 10,000 downloads and reaching 70+ countries, this has been a beautiful experience...and I know my ancestors are smiling upon not only me but my guests and you as well!

Firstly, on January 8, 2022, I will be celebrating Take Nothing When I Die becoming a TODDLER! Join me for the sunset/rebirth celebration from 12 pm - 2 pm US CT.  There will be giveaways, former guests, VIP shout outs and more! Join me and so many others by clicking here or signing up here: https://bit.ly/TNWIDTurns2.  I look forward to seeing you there!

Secondly, I would like to share with you how I have experienced more ease this holiday season and how I got there. I would also like to share how I chose to show up for people who need us the most.

Also, I would love to give a shout-out to my Season 2 guests whose wisdom breathes life into their episode, me, and you, the listeners! The gems that were dropped in this podcast: WHEWWW!!!!  Nothing is being left in that graveyard and for that, I am eternally thankful!

Finally, I explore some thoughts and offer suggestions about endings and what they mean to us.  I pose to you:


Conscious Uncoupling - Have you uncoupled from anything or anyone in your life that was good but not great? Have you considered how you would move on from something that you like but don't love?
Showing Up - How do you show up, even when you don't know where things are headed? 
Availability - As you make the transition, what will it take to make yourself available for what's to come?

I look forward seeing you at the January 8th virtual gathering!

Black women deserve ease.  Black women deserve a respite.  Black women deserve quiet.  And Tara Pringle Jefferson's mission in life is to provide all that and more.  Tara is a writer, speaker, and self-care coach with a lifelong passion for creating community. She's founder of the Self Care Suite, a wellness community for Black women to unlearn exhaustion as their default and develop a more easeful way of life. She's currently writing a book on Black women's self-care legacies, due out in 2023.

The Self Care Suite is a community of compassion and understanding. There, Tara notes, we make connections, prioritize ourselves and unlearn exhaustion using methods like virtual challenges and affirmations cards to begin your morning.

In this conversation, Tara doesn't take with her:


Why Black women's self care is so important
What future accomplishments will make 'younger Tara' jump with excitement
The importance of staying present
The impact of lurkers in a retreat space
Why Tara moves the Self Care Suite in the direction of what's needed in that space at that time
The reason therapist referrals fill Tara up

My favorite start to any Take Nothing When I Die Episode is when I have been speaking to my guest for 30 minutes and we haven't even begun recording!

In today's episode, I spoke with Imani Maxberry (They/Them). Finding a love for the outdoors as a child, they are currently pursuing an M.S. in Urban Studies with a concentration in Urban Sustainability at Georgia State. They also hold a B.S. in Coastal Environmental Science from LSU, and have 4 years of experience working in a nationally-recognized biological analytical science laboratory under Dr. Victor H Rivera-Monroy. Since their return, Imani has implemented several environmental initiatives, community conversations and orchestrated multiple community service events, including community clean-ups and supply drives.

Join us as we speak about:


Why their goal is to be a Noble Peace Prize Winner
When Imani is having self doubts, what validates them
What internal & external validations look and feel like
How Imani attracted being an environmental scientist into their life
The importance of work, life, play balance
Why Imani refuses to give into the grind culture
