18 Apr 2022 | Story Time: I Tried Fixing Myself Because I Thought I Was Broken But Instead I Became Addicted To Self-Help | 00:18:59 | |

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.

24 Mar 2025 | Nourishing Your "Soil" Will Help You Reclaim Your Identity | 00:45:52 | |
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.

26 Jul 2021 | If Sh*t Hits The Fan, Are You Ready w/ Pro Prepper Tifani Gilliam | 00:57:21 | |
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 Commit to spending 30 minutes after the episode reflecting on three ways you can begin your prep work journey today Share this episode with a friend that needs to hear it Join Tifani's community and learn more about prepping right here: Black Preppers : Women Surviving SHTF™ - Melanin Ready Prep™

01 May 2023 | Adultification, How Medical Misinformation Is Harmful And The Appropriation Of Black Culture With Author Brianna Holt | 00:48:19 | |
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.

27 Jan 2025 | (Replay) Black Women Must Forever Have Their Faces "Fixed" vs Our Humanity Honored | 00:31:42 | |
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.

16 Oct 2023 | Surviving An Aneurysm Plus Knowing That God Didn't Put Me Here To Be Mediocre With Robin Robinson (BGSC Community Member) | 00:58:10 | |
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.

13 Jan 2025 | (Replay) Boundaries + Your Body IS The Biggest Truth Teller | 00:35:44 | |
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.

21 Oct 2019 | Lyvonne Proverbs on "Surthriving" When the Monster in your House is your Father | 01:02:20 | |
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.

24 Jun 2024 | We Have Got To Stop Creating Our Lives With $5 Energy | 00:36:24 | |
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.

10 Mar 2025 | Needing Grace Is Not A Failure On Your Part | 00:31:05 | |
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.
