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.In this episode I'm getting real about my financial struggles, personal growth, and the steps I'm taking to break free from generational cycles of trauma and lack. I talk about my decision to leave corporate life in 2019 for my mental health, the challenges I faced thereafter, and my ongoing battle with debt. I want to STRESS the importance of shedding shame and guilt tied to financial hardships while discussing the conditioning and societal expectations that often plague Black women. My hope is that other 'cycle breakers' will continue to prioritize healing, make intentional choices, and reframe their mindset around money and self-worth as they navigate their unique journeys in 2025 alongside me.Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.Our Sponsors:* Check out Calm: https://calm.com/BGSC* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com* Let your rent work for you!
