Brown Girl Self-Care is where Black women reclaim our wholeness and power in a world that demands our labor but denies our worth. Here, the care of ourselves—and the care for each other—become radical acts of love and justice, profound ways of honoring our humanity in a world that doesn’t.

In this episode, we unpack the discomfort and stigma that Black women often feel when it comes to asking for and receiving help. Cultural, familial, and societal influences can make vulnerability feel unsafe, but learning to receive is essential for our healing, growth, and liberation.

I’ll share personal reflections, practical tips for practicing vulnerability (including how to accept compliments!), and encouragement to embrace the abundance and support that divine resources offer us.

Let’s walk this path together—you are deserving of a life where you feel supported, held, and whole.

Brown Girl Self-Care is where Black women reclaim our wholeness and power in a world that demands our labor but denies our worth. Here, the care of ourselves—and the care for each other—become radical acts of love and justice, profound ways of honoring our humanity in a world that doesn’t.

In this episode, we explore what it means to listen deeply to the signals our bodies send us and how that listening is a practice of love and liberation. When survival mode has been our default, it’s easy to overlook these signals, but they are key to protecting our peace and reclaiming a life of wholeness and joy.

I’ll share personal reflections, wisdom from my therapist, and reflective journal prompts to support you in reconnecting with yourself and creating a life that centers care, liberation, and joy.

Let’s walk this path together—you are deserving of radical love and care.

In this quick episode, let's talk about the idea of breaking free from legalism and embracing grace as a foundation for personal growth in this new season. Legalism is the strict adherence to moral codes that kept me stuck for years until I realized how important it was for me to unlearn the harm of this kind of mindset. If you are moving towards more self-love, acceptance, and peace, your daily practice of life has got to include allowing for more grace and less strictness.

This year has had some amazing things come to fruition, but it was also hard in some ways. too. When you are the one in your family or circle breaking generational cycles, or if you are blooming into some life changes right now, it's easy for our minds to feel like it's always going to stay hard or that you will struggle forever. Choosing peace as I'm talking about in this episode isn't about bypassing your feelings or pretending that everything is cool. Instead it's deciding that you are doing the best you can and that it is ok to lay claim to peace instead of chaos.

I wanted to share a quick insight from the book 'The Four Pivots' by Shawn A. Ginwright, PhD. Specifically I'm highlighting a powerful quote from the book: 'I choose peace of mind instead of this.' It brought me so much clarity as I continue working through some challenges that my hope is that it's a powerful affirmation for you as well.

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.

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.

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.
