The work discussed in this episode, as we enter the final days of 2025, is not just about ending the year on a high. What I feel it is, is an opportunity to see 2026 as the year your authentic self is non-negotiable. In this episode we are talking about self-care through the lens of transition, a fresh start, into the new year.

In this episode let's explore:

• Winter as the Shedding Season: Using the end of 2025 as a time to identify and release the societal expectations and masks that stifle our authentic selves.
• Decolonizing Your Worth: Challenging narratives of strength and productivity to embrace softness, vulnerability, and rest.
• Returning to Your Roots: The importance of reconnecting with hobbies, creativity, and ancestral wisdom that spark your mind, heart, and spirit.

In this episode, I'm getting honest about the moments when your spirit is no longer whispering, but instead she’s tapping you on the shoulder, side-eyeing you, and begging you to just sit down somewhere.

As Black women, we’re praised for pushing through, carrying everything, and keeping it all together. But this season is about something different: honoring your humanity, choosing ease, and learning to pause before life forces you to.

We’ll explore the 5 signs that show up when you’re out of alignment:

• when you’re scattered instead of centered
• drained instead of nourished
• ✨eactive instead of peaceful
• doubting instead of grounded
• and disconnected instead of intuitive

Hello Beautiful Black Woman!

In this (rewind) episode I'm sharing five ways that show me the healing work we are doing is actually making a difference. This includes:

• Understanding that there will still be hard things to process emotionally
• Understanding my toxic patterns and behaviors
• Not trying to change people but instead focusing on me
• Realizing that I can choose what I do for healing

Overconsumerism this holiday season will not save us. Many of us want to "keep up with the Jones'" when they likely are living check to check themselves. Buying with intention versus buying to people please and prove your worth are different energies. Let's have a quick chat about this.

If you are in need of a reminder to slow down, be present and not feel pressured to buy/have "all the things", this episode is definitely for you!

Recently, i watched a movie on Hulu called "Perfect Days" about a toilet cleaner in Japan. I thought it would be about his job (and how could that even be exciting??) but it was about much, much more.

I'm sharing six takeaways that will help you experience your own "perfect" days, ones where you are more grounded and present, versus worrying about the accumulation or use of the latest and greatest stuff.

As mentioned, if you'd like to spend some one on one time with me, getting your self-care plan in order, you can connect with me here: BEING w/ Bre

This episode, what I'm doing for the next 30 days is going to sound crazy. I get it. It needs to be done though because I'm locking in on how I'm blooming versus worrying about laboring to earn money. In our culture 9-5'ing/grinding is where our energy primarily goes and if there is anything left we do a little tending to ourselves. I'm flipping the narrative for the next 30 days and making self-care the primary and working secondary.

There is a bit of cussery in this episode, heads up.

I’m in my 50s and haven’t worked a traditional job in six years. In this episode, I’m sharing how I walked away from my job, the ways I’ve sustained myself, and what rebuilding my dream life actually looks like.

I talk about:

• Why I quit my job and what led up to it
• How I kept myself afloat through moving, using my 401k, podcasting, freelancing, and building Brown Girl Self-Care offerings
• The mistakes and challenges I faced along the way — survival mode, giving too much away for free, buying things I didn’t need, people-pleasing, and caring too much about what others think
• How I’m actively rebuilding my life now, including paying off debt, eating healthier, practicing yoga, baking bread, keeping my space calm, and prioritizing what truly matters
• My vision for the future — from living on land with a sister friend, buying an RV, traveling, and building a life where I’m healthier, stronger, and freer
• The hard truth about being honest with yourself and getting tired of your own mess

This is a raw and real conversation about choosing yourself, starting over, and proving that even after setbacks, you can still create a beautiful life.

I tried recording this episode on Sunday and when I went to upload it, there was no audio. So I decided to hop onto Youtube Live on Monday morning and record it there.

*Trigger Warning* In todays episode I'll be sharing about a young Black woman who unfortunately took her own life. The point of the share is to not only say her name, but to reinforce the idea of Black women staying Black Woman centered. No one cares about Black women the way that Black women do. We need each other.
