Black Woman Rising

Thank you so much for listening! It's a long awaited episode where I talk about meditation. Think of this as the first episode in a minitation series (mini mediation episodes). This is the one where I tell you the three things I learned after a few years of self-taught/app-guided meditation that I wish I knew as a beginner. Hopefully this inspires you to give meditation a try and not overthink it! I promise you once you just let go, it's like a walk in the park :-)

Thank you so much for listening! Y'all, ya girl is going through it so this episode is all about accountability for what I'm going through. If you have something to say that's not about me (i.e. about whom you speculate this might be about), keep it to yourself because we might have to fight lol. I'm nowhere near perfect and this episode was much more of a release for me so I don't carry this sh*t into the future. While I hope things can be resolved, I think I'm in a good enough space to be okay whatever the outcome is. Regardless, pray for ya girl 💜

Thank you so much for listening! Finally, part 3 of 3 on things I've been doing that have helped calm my anxiety. This is all about not giving a 💩 about what other people think.

Here's the link to my Youtube video on why all coworkers aren't your friends:

Hey fam, thank you so much for listening! This episode is the second part to the previous one, Anxiety Down, Good Vibes Up, so if you haven't yet, you may want to listen to that first. I want to talk about some of the mindset shifts that helped me get to a point where I could enjoy activities and hobbies guilt-free, while finding a space of productivity. Take a listen and see if you can pick up any mindset shifts of your own!

Thank you so much for listening! Happy Mother's Day! Because I've been gone so long, I just wanted to reintroduce myself and also pay homage to the women who've shaped who I am today.

Thank you so much for listening! This episode was requested by my friend Agnes and is about waking up earlier/becoming a morning person. I'll be honest, I think being a morning person is just part of who I am, HOWEVER, I'm throwing in some tips on how you can transition to getting up earlier if you're interested. If you're a night owl, no shame here! Live your best night life. Remember you should be living for you and what works best for your situation.

Thank you so much for listening! This episode tells the story of the time I cut off almost all of my hair and what a liberating experience it was. If you're struggling with who you are or being a people pleaser, let this episode give you some comfort. Even if you're not struggling, I hope this episode leaves you inspired to do something you may have been putting off for whatever reason. I don't judge. I appreciate you and hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for listening! Today we're going beyond putting yourself out there (listen to episode 4) and talking about being authentic. I'm sharing some of my least proud moments where I wasn't really true to myself in the hopes that I encourage you to get out there and be true to who you are. Don't be ashamed of anything you like or like to do. Do you, boo.

Thank you so much for listening! This episode is a follow up to my Real Friends episode released a few weeks prior. Here I'm talking about how to determine who your real friends are, being in reciprocal friendships, and how to meet people where they are in friendships and protect your own peace.

Hey hey! Were you looking for me? Sorry there's no song reference for this title ;)

I'm still here, just had to get myself together after a family loss. This episode is all about putting yourself out there, the delicate topic of self-promotion. How can you self-promote without coming across as spammy or bragging? Are you so worried about coming across that way that you don't say anything about any of your work/projects? Well the latter is me and I'm working on it and so should you. So let's work on it together! This episode is about what I learned from a few readings (see below) and some practical applications. Let's improve on promoting our work together and check in at a later date.

Additional & Referenced Readings:

Thank you so much for listening! This episode is about letting go of the previous year and all of the things you couldn't control to make room for a theme for the upcoming year. The theme isn't to replace setting goals for yourself, but sets the stage for all of the goals you will set throughout the year.
