    Moving, Starting Over and Letting Go of 95% Of All My Stuff Because I Can't Afford To Take It With Me

    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 sharing an intimate life update as I prepare to move from California to Arkansas. I’m opening up about the emotional and practical challenges I’ve faced along the way, including letting go of 95% of my possessions due to financial constraints. I’ll share how deeply rooted scarcity and self-worth struggles have shaped my life and why this move represents more than just a physical transition—it’s a journey of healing, grief, and reclaiming intentionality. I’ll also introduce my upcoming collaboration with Yolanda, founder of Parenting Decolonized, as we work together to create a sustainable living community for single Black mothers and their children. This episode is about resilience, community, and embracing change, even when it feels hard. Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

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

    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. Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

    (Replay) 4 Things To Think About If It's Hard For You To Receive

    Brown Girl Self-Care is where Black women reclaim our wholeness and power in a world that demands our labor but denies our worth. Here, the care of ourselves—and the care for each other—become radical acts of love and justice, profound ways of honoring our humanity in a world that doesn’t. In this episode, we unpack the discomfort and stigma that Black women often feel when it comes to asking for and receiving help. Cultural, familial, and societal influences can make vulnerability feel unsafe, but learning to receive is essential for our healing, growth, and liberation. I’ll share personal reflections, practical tips for practicing vulnerability (including how to accept compliments!), and encouragement to embrace the abundance and support that divine resources offer us. Let’s walk this path together—you are deserving of a life where you feel supported, held, and whole.

    (Replay) Boundaries + Your Body IS The Biggest Truth Teller

    Brown Girl Self-Care is where Black women reclaim our wholeness and power in a world that demands our labor but denies our worth. Here, the care of ourselves—and the care for each other—become radical acts of love and justice, profound ways of honoring our humanity in a world that doesn’t. In this episode, we explore what it means to listen deeply to the signals our bodies send us and how that listening is a practice of love and liberation. When survival mode has been our default, it’s easy to overlook these signals, but they are key to protecting our peace and reclaiming a life of wholeness and joy. I’ll share personal reflections, wisdom from my therapist, and reflective journal prompts to support you in reconnecting with yourself and creating a life that centers care, liberation, and joy. Let’s walk this path together—you are deserving of radical love and care.

    (Replay) Giving Yourself GRACE Is The Way, Not Legalism.

    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.

    (Replay from 2023) "I Choose Peace Instead Of This"

    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.
