    Episode 7: Becoming Bold - The Audacity of Self Confidence Part 2

    This conversation centres the environment and systemic elements that impact on our confidence, both in a positive and negative way. Through a therapeutic lens, we examine how systemic factors such as weathering and racism shape identity, nervous system responses, and internal narratives — while also making space for agency, healing and collective strength.

    Episode 6: Becoming Bold - The Audacity of Self Confidence Part 1

    Many Black women have been taught to shrink themselves, soften their voice, or put others first.  In this episode Maryane and Vanetta get personal about how boldness has been part of their healing and invite hearers to reflect on how it can be part of theirs too.  STAY UP TO DATE WITH US AT BELONG & BLOOM Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://belongbloom.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠  LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/belong-bloom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/@belong.and.bloom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@belongandbloom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  FB: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583172613624⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@BelongandBloom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  FOLLOW MARYANE Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.edenrelationships.co.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryanemwaniki/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠ IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/realedenrelationships/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  FOLLOW VANETTA Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://blueprintway.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  and ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fraudtofree.com/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanettamorrison/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠and ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/fraud-to-free/⁠⁠⁠⁠ IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/the.blueprint.way/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/fraudtofree/

    Episode 5: The Courage to Be Real - From Shame to Connection

    What would it mean to be truly honest with yourself, and brave enough to be seen by others?  In this episode, we explore vulnerability — why it feels so risky, and why it’s the key to authentic relationships and belonging. We’ll talk about stereotypes of strength, the role of shame, and how to practise vulnerability safely in everyday life.

    Episode 4: Unlearning ‘Not Enough’ - Rewriting Your Inner Script

    Why do so many of us feel “not enough”? This episode explores the limiting beliefs that keep Black Women stuck — from people-pleasing and perfectionism to Impostor Syndrome in the workplace and beyond. We’ll share both personal experiences and therapeutic tools to help you identify, challenge, and rewrite the inner narratives that hold you back.

    Episode 3: More Than What You Do - Finding You Beneath the Roles

    Mum, daughter, partner, sister, professional — Black women are often expected to juggle it all. In this episode, we unpack the pressures of multiple roles and relationships, from eldest daughter syndrome to mum guilt, and how cultural expectations can weigh heavily. We’ll share therapeutic insights and strategies for balance, boundaries, and remembering who you are beneath the responsibilities.

    Episode 2: Take Your Rest - Softness as Survival Strategy

    We kick off our episode by diving into a radical truth: Black women deserve rest. In a world that celebrates busyness and expects us to be endlessly strong, reclaiming rest is an act of survival and resistance. We talk about burnout, compassion fatigue, and the “Strong Black Woman” stereotype — and explore how self-compassion can be the key to healing and wholeness.
