  • Episode 69: Community

    You've probably heard the phrase, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

    Having a community (or a few) in place can be beneficial in so many ways. The world is opening back up and many of us are getting back in touch with our community(ies); or searching for a new one.

    In this episode we discuss:

    • What the word "community" means to us.
    • The importance of community
    • Types of community
    • How to find your community

    • 68. Creating Mental and Spiritual Growth

      May in Mental Health Awareness Month and here at Self-Created we are huge advocates of therapy (of all types) and habits/routines that encourage you to leave your best, healthy life. 


      Episode Outline:

      Tips for Mental and Spiritual Growth:

      • Seek Professional Health
        • Check with your job and see if they have EAP
        • See what your insurance covers
        • End the stigma (brag about therapy the same way you brag about your workout)]
        • It’s ok to shop around for a Therapist. It’s not one size fits all
        • Have a Routine
        • Write it out (Journal Planner)
        • Meditate
        • Exercise
        • Drink Water
        • Eat Right
        • Be mindful of your thoughts (joking or not)
          • Ripple Effect: The thoughts and words you put out into the world and others can have an ongoing effect

            • Mentioned in this Episode:

            Therapy for Black Girls

            • 65. Yoga, Contracts, and Respecting Black Women with Sara Clark

              We got to interview one of our favorite Yogis, Sara Clark. Sara Clark is an international vinyasa yoga and meditation teacher. With nearly two decades of experience, Sara’s teachings merge the physical and spiritual practices of yoga with mindfulness and meditation techniques that help to ease suffering and liberate the soul. She has been a Global Yoga Ambassador for lululemon and has graced the cover of Yoga Journal twice along with Prevention Magazine. Sara has created a series of online yoga and meditation videos for Shape Magazine, Yoga Today, and Glo. Known for her compassionate teaching style and fluid vinyasa sequences, Sara makes both the novice and the more experienced practitioner feel welcomed in her classes.

              In this episode we discuss:

              • How yoga came into Sara’s life
              • Teaching in New York and creating a sustainable career (I.e. making enough from teaching classes to actually live in New York)
              • Being featured on Yoga Journal and one of Glo.com’s instructor
              • Reading contracts, having control over images, making sure you are paid fairly (you may be at the table but your plate can still be less)
              • Living and loving life in Grenada
              • What’s next for Sara (classes, books, retreats (let us know when we need to pack, Sara!))

                • Follow Sara on Instagram

              • 64. Book Club: Bevelations: Lessons from a Mutha, Auntie, Bestie. Bevy Smith gives us her truth. No chaser

                This week we discuss Bevy Smith’s book “Bevelations: Lessons from a Mutha, Auntie, Bestie”

                In Bevy Smith’s debut book, she talks about stories from her past and how she decided to leave a lucrative career to go after what she truly wanted. Bevy gives the readers insight into her life, growing up in Harlem, Lill’ Brown Bevy, her Lovers (ready for that book, Bevy!), not listening to the opinions of the outside world, navigating the fashion and business world as a Black woman, and situations that led her to certain decisions (even when she felt deep down it might not be the best choice.

                We talk about how this book came into our lives at the right time as were both trying to re-discover and get back to Lil Brown Shanika and Lil Brown Jernell. In the past years we’ve both have been through some good and bad and now we’re starting to get back to the person we needed when we were young. No matter your age or stage in life, this book will help guide you back to finding your true self.

              • 63. Stuff Jernell Doesn't Care About (with Shanika Pichey)

                There was a time when I was heavy into Pop Culture and while I have scaled back there are still things I want to discuss. This new segment titled “Stuff Jernell Doesn’t Care About” will be, well, stuff Jernell doesn’t care about.

                This week’s topics:

                • Joss Whedeon and men in Hollywood being the absolute worst
                • Angel was a better show than Buffy
                • Cobra Kai and my love for Johnny Lawrence
                • How Nikita played a role in my thoughts on using the word “cancel” when someone is problematic

                • 62: The Spirits Spilled All The Tea

                  Jernell recently tapped into Shanika's spirits and they didn't hold back. They told it all. At first it sounds like betrayal but it was much needed. 


                  Sometimes we don't want to do the work and see the truth.
