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.

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.

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.
