Brown Girl Self-Care

In My 50s, No 9-5 In Six Years, And Rebuilding My LIfe (Spicy Language!)


Listen Later

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.
