This podcast has been so helpful for me. I have been really lost, unorganized, and just confused about what I needed to get back on track. The tips on self care, journaling, book recommendations and the interviews with successful black women has really helped me start to realign with myself.
One of my Favorite Podcasts

I stumbled upon the podcast at a time when I needed it most. Since then, I tune in as regularly as I can and listen again to episodes based on the message. I find that the episodes are really like books in that when I listen again I get a new nugget or tool to add that I may have missed before. I’m so happy I found this podcast.
Love Balanced Black Girl

Love this podcast! I’ve been listening for a few years now, and I just have to say, the solo episodes are just as good as the episodes with guests. I feel like the [solo] in the title comes as a disclaimer, but girl, we don’t need it! Just my opinion. Keep making great content. It’s so valuable and love being on this wellness journey together.
