    JUST START!

    You don’t have to have it all figured out to take the first step! In this empowering episode, we’re reminding you that progress starts with action. Inspired by Shariya Wise’s Sis! You a Bad Bitch 2.0, we’re talking about pushing past doubt, trusting the process, and embracing the journey—even when the vision isn’t crystal clear yet. We also dive into Proverbs 29:18—“Where there is no vision, the people perish”—and break down how faith, focus, and a little bit of audacity can take you further than you ever imagined. And to close it out, we’re taking a mindful minute to breathe, reset, and step into the rest of the day with intention. Take a deep breath, hit play, and let’s get into it!

    ADDRESS YOUR DEEPEST FEARS

    Welcome to the Black Girl Motivates Podcast. Formerly known as the Black Girl Meditates Podcast! In this episode, host, Rickisa Owens reads aloud "Our Deepest Fear" by Marianne Williamson. and addresses her own "deepest" fear. What is yours? "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear in that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the World. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. As we let our own Light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
