    (Replay from 2023) 3 Ways You Can Elevate Your Life in 2025

    In this episode of the Brown Girls Self Care Podcast, I'm sharing three critical actions Black women can take in 2025 to transform their lives with more healing and joy. The episode emphasizes the importance of dating oneself regularly, undertaking solo trips to foster self-reliance and personal growth, and implementing 'think weeks' or days for deep reflection and planning. These are practices we can use to validate ourselves, embrace our humanity, and prioritize our comfort, ease, and liberation.

    I'm Taking A Sabbatical And So Should You

    Hey y’all, it’s Bre, and I’ve got something important to share with you today. After reflecting on the constant hustle culture we’re all caught up in and seeing a powerful confirmation in an unexpected place—a video of Macy Gray, no less—I’ve decided to take a sabbatical for the month of December.

    In this episode, I’m sharing:

    • Why rest is a necessary
    • How I knew it was time to pause and honor my intuition.
    • What you can expect when I return in January with fresh, intentional episodes.

    If you’ve been feeling like you need permission to pause, this is it. Rest is a way to honor your humanity and sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is nothing.

    Thank you for being part of this beautiful community, for listening, and for holding space. I’ll see you in January—until then, take care of yourself, rest deeply, and know that you’re already enough.

    So I Just Said "Goodbye" To Several Thousand Ladies. Let's Talk About What's Next

    Hey y’all, it’s Bre here, and this week, I’m pulling back the curtain to let you in on the big changes happening with Brown Girl Self-Care as well as with me. I recently made the decision to close down the newsletter, and today, I’m talking about why—and what’s coming next.

    I’ll be sharing how this next chapter of Brown Girl Self-Care will include three areas that are deeply important to me and, I think, to you too:

    • Black Women’s Health: Taking care of our mental, physical, and emotional well-being, because health is part of our freedom.
    • Building Businesses That Honor Rest: Talking about how we can make a living on our own terms without grinding ourselves down or having to feel fake as we do it.
    • Living Sustainably and Bucking Norms: I'm going all in on a lifestyle that aligns with my values and supports Black women, roots keeping, our community, and my peace. So more us and less capitalism and consumerism.

    Join BGSC on Monday (11/4/24) + (Rewind) Crease The Damn Page, Sis!

    Meet me on Zoom for "Gather and Be" on Monday, November 4th @ 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern. Link Here

    In this episode of the Brown Girl Self-Care Podcast, I'm talking about 'creasing the page' as a way to engage fully with life especially for those of us that are afraid to step out and be seen or make mistakes. I sill struggle with perfectionism, the fear of making mistakes, and in the past these fears have held me back from leaving my mark.

    I want to encourage you to embrace imperfection, show up authentically and take small steps towards your goals while aligning yourself with curiousity and the willingness to step out of your comfort zone.

    Take Your Time, Sis: Why Black Women Must Use Their PTO, FMLA, and Short-Term Disability

    As the end of the year approaches, it's time to talk about something crucial: taking time off. In this episode of Brown Girl Self-Care, Bre is breaking down why Black women need to prioritize their health by using their personal time off (PTO), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and short-term disability. Many of us let our PTO go unused or feel guilty about asking for time away from work—but not taking time for yourself has real consequences. In 2024 we are going to lay claim toL the time we are leaving on the table.
