Brown Girl Self-Care (Brown Girl Self-Care)

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and so I wanted to support you by sharing ways that I've been able to honor and be mindful of my mental health.  

If you found this episode helpful please be sure to like, comment and share with your sistrens!

I used to believe that self-care (specifically through self-help and personal development) was a cure for how broken, unworthy and damaged I believed myself to be.  I was addicted to any and everything self-help but would never take the time to implement anything I learned.

If this sounds like you, I want you to know that you aren't broken.  Listen to todays episode and let me know if you can relate to my personal share this week.

Hey, hey!

This week I'm sharing about how I'm learning to lean into relationships with Black women that allow me to experience more closeness, sisterhood, safety....basically INTIMACY.

If you were taught that intimacy is bad, or that it is only about sex, this episode is definitely for you because it's something that I was conditioned to believe as well. I'm healing and liberating myself from toxic untruths so thought this episode might serve you in some way as well.

On this episode I'm asking to think about where you are rooted.  By rooted I mean your thoughts, things that were spoken over your life, daily messages you receive, etc that you've absorbed and now allow to dictate your life in this season.  Are you rooted in good soil?  It's never too late to set a new course for your life.

Hey, hey! In this episode I'm sharing my thoughts on what it means/looks like to start "doing the work" including:

Addressing where we are in our journey

Being in community with others vs. going into isolation out of fear or shame

Learning to believe you are worthy

Laughing but so serious!

Hey Sistren, today I'm having sharing a part of my growth/personal development journey.  I have a habit of switching up something I'm going to do and instead moving forward on someone's suggestion because they are in a (sometimes perceived) place of authority. 

Sound like you?

**TW: This episode discusses sexual abuse/assault

In this episode of the Brown Girl Self-Care Podcast, I'm speaking with therapist and wellness expert Candyce "CE". Anderson, MS, LPC, Founder, and CEO of Revita Therapy and Wellness. We planned this conversation ahead of the Diddy debacle but conversations that center the pressing issue of trauma/harm culture in Hollywood and the pervasive nature of sexual assault are ALWAYS relevant.

Key topics:

• The focus on men’s behaviors and accountability
• The impact of societal conditioning on women's responses to trauma
• Coercive sexual assault
• The importance of self-care, intuition, and recognizing one's worth
• The critical need for men to hold each other accountable.

This episode is a must-listen for black women seeking healing, empowerment, and validation in their journey toward self-care and well-being. It is also a must-listen for MEN as well.

Well hello Beautiful Brown Girl!

I've got a special guest on the show today who is breaking down what it really means to manifest (because I was wrong!!) and also the SUPER EASY 3 step process she swears by to make "manifesting happen."

Dani Faust, Spiritual and Manifestation Coach and host of the Manifest it, Sis podcast is giving us life today as she breaks down how Black women can co-create with God to go after and achieve the things and experiences we want out of life.

After the episode, catch up with her on:

Welcome back to the Brown Girl Self-Care podcast.  With what is happening in the U.S. there may be times when you are out and about, wanting to "just be" or prioritize yourself, but it doesn't feel completely possible because you don't feel safe.  Instead of giving up on self-care, think about ways that you can make your personal space a place of refuge.

Brown Girl Self-Care is where Black women reclaim our wholeness and power in a world that demands our labor but denies our humanity. 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.

This episode is specifically for those of us who grew up believing that we were "bad" or too flawed to be loved due to how we were treated as children/the conditioning we received in our childhood years. 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."

Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

Hey, Hey!

How easy has it been for you to tap into self-care?  How does it feel to be vulnerable by being in community with other Black woman?  What would your life look like six months from now if you were in a space where the people in the environment lead with compassion, grace and support?  How would you tap into wholeness when you're able to put your cape down?

Let's cultivate a safe space together.  2x a month we are going to have virtual, healing meetups right online.  Join me on Patreon at any level for access:

Hey Beautiful Brown Girl!

I wanted to stop allowing life to control me and instead start controlling life because I was tired of showing up from a place bitterness and annoyance.  I wasn't giving myself the "all about me time" I needed and it was quite apparent.  Because of this I've created a peaceful morning routine that has helped me to be the best Bre possible (most days).  If you are crafting a morning routine or didn't know they were even a thing, this episode is for you.

I mention the book The Morning Miracle* which you can purchase here if interested.

Hey Sistren,

This week, I'm in conversation Tifani Gilliam, Founder of Women Surviving SHTF™.

As the saying goes - If you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready - and I'm a firm believer that women, especially Black women, must be prepared for emergencies.  Our communities are not prioritized the way that we deserve and so if something happens (heaven forbid) like another flood, massive earthquake, or civil unrest, being able to safely stay indoors or quickly leave our homes with what we need to survive and take care of ourselves is not an option.

I need you to do three things:

Have a pen and notepad ready to take notes

Relationships can be complicated but definitely so when we are hanging on when it is time to let it go.  There are so many feelings that come up for us when we are forced to identify a damaging relationship for what it truly is.  You may have fooled yourself into thinking things are ok, but I'm going to give you six signs that you need right now to identify the relationship isn't working.

Hello Beautiful Black Woman,

On the show this week I'm sharing a few things that you'll likely notice start to happen as you empower yourself by setting boundaries.

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 had to record this episode because there are 2 things I didn't say when I had the conversation about Dani about manifesting.  I hope it gives you clarity on who I am and what I believe.  

Happy Self-Care Sunday!  It's time for a new episode!  I feel like posting every two weeks is tooooooo long in between so I'm considering moving to once a week.  Antyweigh!  Today I'm talking about getting my eyebrows done at Ulta and then I pick up where I left off about my waistbead experience which bubbled up negative thoughts about my body.  Have a listen then let me know what you think!  Also, if you'd like to reach me feel free to email connect@browngirlselfcare.com

Hey, hey! Welcome back to the BGSC podcast. In todays episode I want to get real with you about being a woman "of a certain age." Yes, i'm in my late 40's. Yes, I am single. Yep, I've never been married.

You may be wondering a few things like...have I ever been engaged? How long have I been single? Do I get lonely? Would I ever date anything other than a Black man?

Let's go ahead and talk about it! Grab your tea, settle in somewhere and let's get into it.

Hey, hey!

In this episode, join me as I engage in a meaningful conversation with Brianna Holt, author, writer, and reporter, on her debut book titled IN OUR SHOES: On Being a Young Black Woman in Not-So "Post-Racial" America. Together, we explore the pervasive stereotypes and systemic challenges that Black women face on a daily basis, and empower ourselves to stand in our power.

Holt's book offers a roadmap for expanding empathy, understanding, and allyship, as we dive deep into critical topics such as:

• The "adultification" of Black girls, which has been linked to violence against them;

• The danger of medical misinformation, which often results in Black women being ignored, disrespected, and even fatally harmed;

• The prevalence of appropriation, where non-Black individuals treat Black art, music, and style as trends to try on, while Black individuals are criticized for the same things that are part of their cultural identity.

Join us as we unpack these important issues and learn from Holt's insights and solutions.

Black women get called so many negative things and we are always being hit with labels that are meant to make us feel bad about ourselves and/or encourage us to selflessly burn ourselves out by putting our entire beings last. If you have it in your mind that you are lazy because that's what you were told, or because you aren't doing all the things, this episode is for you.

In a time where we can have orders Amazon Primed within 24 hours (or less) it's no surprise that having to wait more than a few days through a tough decision to see a breakthrough can be agonizing.  It's during those times that it's even more important to activate your faith.

Hey, hey! In this weeks episode I'm diving into the topic of creating the life that we deserve which includes bringing awareness to the type of energy we are bringing to the table. I had to make a decision to stop operating from a place of low energy that I wasn't aware I even had. What we do now will lead to the type of life we have in the future so don't miss this weeks episode.

In this episode I'm sharing 4 things for you to consider when it's hard to receive support or ask people for help.  

In this episode I'm in the "studio" with my friend and guest Yolanda Williams, founder of Parenting Decolonized. We get real about a range of topics for Black women, including divesting from capitalism, redefining success, and embracing simpler, community-oriented lifestyles. Yolanda also shares her journey from California to Central Arkansas, detailing her experiences with homesteading, land ownership, and growing her own food.

This conversation will hopefully help cement the importance of community support, trust, and redefining wealth beyond monetary terms. Black women deserve to reclaim their time, seek ease, and build sustainable, supportive communities so we highlight some practical steps to start living a more intentional life, including gardening, supporting local farmers, and practicing mutual aid.

We both want you to live a life of abundance, rest, and joy outside the confines of traditional capitalist structures so press "play" and let's go!

How many of us every year say "new year, new me" without giving much thought about the shifts necessary to see change in our lives?

This was me for many, many years. I would say it but never really meant it. Tune into todays episode where I'm sharing three things I want you to consider doing to help you not waste time in 2024.

In this episode I'm sharing five things that I wish I knew years ago when I battled depression.  The Mayo Clinic defines depression as a mood disorder that that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.  

Causes of depression include abuse, serious illnesses, personal problems and even genes with women being twice as likely as men to be depressed. (WebMD)

According to Hopkins Medicine, approximately 26% of Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.  That is about 1 out of every 4 adults.  

My hope is that this episode, and my story, help you or someone you know to understand that if you've ever experienced depression, anxiety, sadness or uncertainty, you are not alone.

It’s time for a bonus episode.  WHAAAATTTT?!?!  I know. Crazy, right?

Today talk about one super powerful way to stay peaceful during times when our lives are in a season of uncertainty. Since recently quitting my job I’ve had moments of vulnerability and nervousness about how my bills will get paid and even if I made the right decision.  If you too are in going through trials and tribulations I encourage you to give this episode a listen. 

Brown Girl Self-Care is a space where Black women come to honor our humanity and reclaim our power in a world that takes us for granted. Here, choosing ourselves—our healing, our joy, and our rest—is an act of radical resistance and deep self-love.

In this episode, we’re exploring the emotional toll that masking takes on Black women. We’ll start with a few deep breaths to create a calming space and then dive into my journey of setting boundaries and acknowledging my emotions, reminding us that healing can bring up some friction.

We’ll also unpack the societal pressures Black women face to mask their true feelings, using Angela Bassett’s reaction at the Oscars as an example. This conversation critiques cultural expectations that demand we hide our pain to keep others comfortable, and instead encourages us to embrace our humanity, honor our emotions, and create spaces where we can be authentic.

Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

Y'all, I carried a ton of tension around in my body back in the day and didn't realize it.  In today's episode I'm sharing exactly what that tension represented and where in my body I felt it.

Hey, hey!  In this episode I'm getting candid about no longer being stuck in my life and the one thing I've had to do to continue moving forward in my healing.  I promise that it sounds simple but it can in fact require a ton of courage.  I hope this episode blesses and helps you to not feel like you're the only person "going through some thangs."

Hey Y'all!

So I'm trying something new for this episode. Several weeks ago I sat down and had a virtual conversation with someone directly from the BGSC community. I did this because just like it's important to hear from people that may be a bit more mainstream on the show it's also important to hear from women just like me and you directly from our community.

Robin is sort of a "Jill of all trades." She's done a ton in her life thus far including acting, writing, painting and even standup! Currently she's hosting her podcast: A Closed Mouth Does Not Get Fed as well as writing a book that details her first hand experience with surviving an aneurysm.

In this episode we talk about not only what it was like having an aneurysm but also:

If there were any warning signs

What she had to remind herself to get over being embarrassed by using a bedpan

What she feels her purpose in life is right now

What keeps her moving forward

Robin also shares her thoughts on God plus gives you some encouragement that will hopefully fill your spirit.

*Episode has a little language*

I'm back in the "studio" and excited to talk about this weeks topic which is inviting peace into our journey.  I also share some things I regularly do that help me to feel more calm throughout the day.  You are worthy of peace but life and this system we exist in threatens it regularly.  Brew some tea and then listen to this episode.

Hey, Hey, Beautiful Black Woman! Have you ever heard someone say that they are triggered and not quite know what they meant? In this weeks episode of the Brown Girl Self-Care podcast I'm sharing some basics on "triggers" as well as some steps to take care of yourself if and when they pop up. Since the holidays can be a time of super stress this is a great time to prepare yourself and help to maintain your peace.

So last week was a whole mess.  My teen came down with the flu which meant I was on double mommy duty, ramping up my energy to make sure she was ok for the last 6 days as well as avoiding getting sick.  She's totally fine now and we are pretty much in the clear but I did have to make sure I took a few simple steps to take care of myself while caring for her.  I talk about it in this weeks episode.

Also, this week I answer a community question about journaling.  How to start and also how to stay consistent.

Hey beautiful brown girl!

Today I'm doing something a little different on the show.  AN AFFIRMATIVE MEDITATION!  Yasss!!!!  Allow me to pour into you, refresh your spirit and remind you of who you are today so that you can center your wellbeing and mood as you do all the brave things you do each day.   

If you are feeling this episode let me know.  Email me at connect@browngirlselfcare.com or screenshot this episode and post it in your stories on Instagram so that I can see it and share.

Hey, hey! In this episode of the BGSC podcast I'm sharing a part of my shadow work process plus giving you a "tough love" reminder that our time here won't last forever, so prioritize yourself and live your life NOW.

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.

Sexual abuse and violence against women runs rampant in the U.S. as well as other countries around the world.  How do we work through this when it's a parent or relative that violates us? In our community is it ok to talk to our children about ownership of their bodies and that "no means no?"

Today I am speaking with Pastor Lyvonne Proverbs, a New York City native, body and sex-positive preacher, transformational speaker, poet, educator, and creative social entrepreneur working to end #ChurchToo. An Emmy-award-winning media producer, plus featured in Essence as well as Cosmopolitan, Pastor Lyvonne is the founder of beautiful scars (@WereSurthrivors), an online storytelling agency focused on trauma, healing, and resiliency. She is committed to eradicating childhood sexual abuse having dealt with it not once but TWICE in her lifetime.

Listen in as we sit down, get as comfortable as we can with a topic like this and share our experiences as well as our journeys to healing.  

*Trigger Warning as well as a few cuss words sprinkled in as well.  This is a #realtalk type of conversation*

Hey, hey! There is a ton of talk out there about narcissists but what does it really mean to possibly be one, or be in relationship with one? What the heck even really is a narcissist?

Hey, sistren!

Happy Monday. In today's episode I'm sharing a little revelation I had while shopping at Costco recently. I have done some major healing in the last few years, but I still get disregulated. It's ok to not be perfect and it's ok to take a breath, raise your hand and ask for/receive help.

Hello Beautiful Black Woman,

Let's talk a smidge about legalism and how the pressure or influence to do everything by the book is what prevents you from allowing yourself grace.

Write this quote down in your journal or stick it on your wall with a post-it:  "Allow grace - not legalism - to be the foundation for your practice (Peter Scazzero).

Let's talk about it in todays episode.

Hey Beautiful Black Woman!

In today's episode I'm answering a community members question about how to bounce back from a bad decision.  This is a great question because everyone makes choices that don't end up panning out in ways that we hoped for and when that happens we feel stuck on how to move forward.  There is usually shame around it too.  You are more than just the outcomes of your decisions.

- Learning how to speak to your kids so they listen vs yelling out of frustration

- Journaling

Hey, hey!

Today is a "rewind" episode that originally aired back in 2022. As someone who strongly believes in the power of an abundant mindset (versus poverty/scarcity based beliefs) i wanted to share this gem of an episode again as a reminder that we can create the lives we want.

Now, I guess I need to say this...obviously, we still face strong systemic oppression. So I'm not saying that we can control every outcome. What I am saying though, is that the mindset (and energy) we hold can be a powerful way for us to get into the flow of the lives we deserve.

Hey Sistren!

I'm digging into the community question bag to share some tips on how to detox from social media. With the holidays plus the NEW YEAR just around the corner, this can be an amazing time to center yourself and put your energy into outlets that serve you better than scrolling Tik Tok.

Brown Girl Self-Care is where Black women reclaim our wholeness and power in a world that demands our labor but denies our humanity. 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

Sometimes we need to ask for grace, and there is no shame in that. 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.

In this episode, I share two real-life moments this week where I had to step back and say, “I can’t do this right now.” It wasn’t easy. It felt a little embarrassing. But I let that go because the reality is this: Being honest about what you need is responsible, not shameful.

Come get this reminder that we are all human and that self-preservation is a must.

Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

Brown Girl Self-Care is where Black women reclaim our wholeness and power in a world that demands our labor but denies our humanity. 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.

In this episode of the Brown Girl Self-Care podcast, I’m opening up about what I learned from taking an unplanned break. After moving and needing time to settle in, I found myself sitting in the discomfort of not producing—of not showing up in the ways I usually do. And even though I knew I needed the rest, there was still that lingering feeling that I should be doing more.

I’ll share how this experience reminded me that we are often more tired than we realize, how the pressure to always be productive is deeply tied to colonization and capitalism, and why it’s so important to give ourselves permission to pause before burnout forces us to stop.

In this episode, I’m sharing five key things to keep in mind when you’re struggling to rest:

1. You’re probably more tired than you even realize. We’ve been conditioned to run on empty for so long that exhaustion can feel normal—until we finally stop.
2. Resting will make you uncomfortable at first. When we’re used to equating our worth with productivity, stepping back can feel unnatural. That’s colonization talking.
3. The world won’t fall apart because you take a break. We carry so much on our shoulders, but the truth is, things will keep moving even when we pause.
4. You don’t have to feel “ready” to rest. If you’re waiting for a perfect moment to slow down, it’ll never come. Your body, mind, and spirit need care now.
5. You have permission to pause. You don’t have to earn your rest. You don’t have to justify it. Rest is your birthright.

If you’ve ever felt uneasy about slowing down—like you’re somehow falling behind or not doing enough—this episode is for you.

Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

In this episode of the Brown Girls Self Care Podcast, host Bre explores the benefits of five holistic supplements she uses daily to manage stress, anxiety, and improve focus. The supplements discussed include CBD, L-theanine, Lemon Balm, Holy Basil, and Magnesium. Bre shares her personal experiences with each supplement, emphasizing the importance of doing your own research and consulting with healthcare professionals. She also provides detailed insights on how to incorporate these supplements into a daily wellness routine for optimal benefits. This episode is a valuable guide for Black women looking to embrace a more natural approach to self-care and well-being.

Have you ever felt like you were too quirky, "weird," or just didn't fit in because there was something about you that stood out from the crowd?  Did you try to hide that thing?  Were you teased for it?  That thing you've been sleeping on about yourself can be the key to moving your life forward in a beautiful way.
