I have been several times and I allowed that to shame me into trying to be someone that i was never intended to be. I realized that the idea that I was too boring to show up or share parts of my life online (parts that I deem aren't too private or sacred) had a huge impact on my business and and even how I felt about myself. If this is you too, I'm sharing some takeaways I want you to consider.</p><br><br>Our Sponsors:<br>* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code SELFCARE for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com<br>* Check out Wonderful Pistachios: https://WonderfulPistachios.com<br><br><br>Advertising Inquiries: <a href="https://redcircle.com/brands">https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br><br>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href="https://redcircle.com/privacy">https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

I decided to let chatgpt give me a prompt that would help me do some self-reflection and it didn't disappoint. I wasn't sure that I would share this when I hit record because this was a personal note that I created for myself to process my thoughts on fear + self-worth. I'm sharing this because I want YOU to trust your voice. It's hard to trust your voice if you are searching for the perfect thing to say or the perfect thing to feel. Healing is not about an aesthetic, it's about being real, raw and unfiltered. Using your voice can be a great step to becoming a place of safety for yourself and this is so important. </p><p>Don't be afraid to use the prompt in todays episode to see what comes up for you.</p><p><em>Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.</em></p><p><br></p><br><br>Our Sponsors:<br>* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code SELFCARE for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com<br>* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/selfcare<br>* Check out Wonderful Pistachios: https://WonderfulPistachios.com<br><br><br>Advertising Inquiries: <a href="https://redcircle.com/brands">https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br><br>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href="https://redcircle.com/privacy">https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Here, the care of ourselves—and the care for each other—become sacred acts of justice, powerful ways of honoring our humanity in a world that doesn’t.</em></p><p>In this episode I want to remind Black women of the importance of giving themselves their best. We have got to stop reserving our 'pretty' for others or future occasions. Black women have done enough, we have given enough, it's beyond time we utilize our best for our benefit before it is given away to others. On top of that, I'm tired of playing the supporting character in life so I share a bit about that, too. 2025 is about shaking tables and no longer hiding ourselves. </p><p><em>Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.</em></p><br><br>Our Sponsors:<br>* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code SELFCARE for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com<br>* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/selfcare<br>* Check out Wonderful Pistachios: https://WonderfulPistachios.com<br><br><br>Advertising Inquiries: <a href="https://redcircle.com/brands">https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br><br>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href="https://redcircle.com/privacy">https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Black women deal with societal systems every day that are not designed for us to thrive and I've come to realize that I have to break free from fear, perfectionism and imposter syndrome so that I can reject traditional 9-5 labor and instead do things that tap into my purpose and joy.

I've been thinking about my identity a lot as of late and once I learned that our identities were perfect when we were born, it made a profound shift in my life. Instead of grasping blindly at trying to be someone I'm not, I'm more focused on nurturing my "soil."</p><p><em>Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.</em></p><p><br></p><br><br>Our Sponsors:<br>* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code SELFCARE for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com<br>* Check out Wonderful Pistachios: https://WonderfulPistachios.com<br><br><br>Advertising Inquiries: <a href="https://redcircle.com/brands">https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br><br>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href="https://redcircle.com/privacy">https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Here, the care of ourselves—and the care for each other—become sacred acts of justice, powerful ways of honoring our humanity in a world that doesn’t.</em></p><p>In this episode I'm getting real about my financial struggles, personal growth, and the steps I'm taking to break free from generational cycles of trauma and lack. I talk about my decision to leave corporate life in 2019 for my mental health, the challenges I faced thereafter, and my ongoing battle with debt. I want to STRESS the importance of shedding shame and guilt tied to financial hardships while discussing the conditioning and societal expectations that often plague Black women. My hope is that other 'cycle breakers' will continue to prioritize healing, make intentional choices, and reframe their mindset around money and self-worth as they navigate their unique journeys in 2025 alongside me.</p><p><em>Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.</em></p><br><br>Our Sponsors:<br>* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code SELFCARE for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com<br>* Check out SKIMS: https://skims.com<br>* Check out Wonderful Pistachios: https://WonderfulPistachios.com<br><br><br>Advertising Inquiries: <a href="https://redcircle.com/brands">https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br><br>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href="https://redcircle.com/privacy">https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

Whether it’s adjusting a financial commitment, backing out of a purchase, or simply admitting that we don’t have the capacity for something right now—giving ourselves permission to be honest is an act of self-care.</p><p>In this episode, I share two real-life moments this week where I had to step back and say, <em>“I can’t do this right now.”</em> It wasn’t easy. It felt a little embarrassing.
