Spaciousness Can Be Uncomfortable. No One Told Me That.
We romanticize the idea of creating space—clearing our calendars, releasing relationships, cutting ties with the noise. But what happens when you finally get the space you’ve been asking for... and it doesn’t feel good?In this episode, I talk about the raw, often ignored reality of what spaciousness brings up: the discomfort, the second-guessing, the urge to fill the quiet. If you’ve made changes to protect your peace and now feel unsettled by the stillness, this conversation is for you.In this episode:Why stillness can feel unsafe at firstHow your nervous system reacts to peace when it’s used to chaosThe temptation to refill what you just clearedWhat to do when the quiet feels like too muchIf you're in a season of stretching, releasing, or sitting in uncomfortable in-between moments, book a 1:1 B.E.I.N.G. session with me. It’s a space to process, reconnect, and move through what’s surfacing with care. → Join me here!Our Sponsors:* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com* Check out Wonderful Pistachios: https://WonderfulPistachios.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/brown-girl-self-care/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

(Replay) 4 Ways You Aren't Being A Safe Space For Other Black Women
Hey, hey!!This is a replay episode from 2022 and I'm being very, very real about ways "I" was not a safe space for other Black women when I was younger. This is an eye-opening episode because we never intend to harm but if there is unresolved trauma, it's very possible that at some point we will. Recording this episode humbled me but I 'm sharing because it's not about judgement or blame but about awareness and reflection as we continue leaning into community care and support for one another.Our Sponsors:* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com* Check out Wonderful Pistachios: https://WonderfulPistachios.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/brown-girl-self-care/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What One Year of No Contact w/ My Mother Taught Me
**** This episode has cussing and also goes into detail about childhood trauma/abuse****It’s been one full year since I went no contact with my mother. In this episode, I’m reflecting on how I spent the day, the grief and grounding I’ve moved through, and three lessons I’ve learned since choosing distance over dysfunction. This isn’t about being strong or unbothered—it’s about what happens when you choose peace and refuse to shrink, even when people expect you to go back.I’m sharing this episode for anyone who's navigating estrangement, emotional distance, or rebuilding themselves after breaking ties. You’re not alone. And no, you’re not wrong for choosing yourself.In this episode, I share:How I spent the one-year anniversary3 real lessons from going no contactThe ways I’ve learned to honor myselfHow people will try to guilt youMentioned in the Episode:→ Learn more about B.E.I.N.G.
