Hey, hey!! In this episode of the podcast I'm in conversation with connector and story teller Brie Penermon, Founder of FitBeads, who ethically sources and offers waistbeads that foster self-love, body-love and culture for women. Brie shares with us how she lost herself and ended up risking her health in the hopes of juggling marriage, babies, a career plus school. Did I mention that this was all at the the same time? Her body ended up slowing her down in an unforgettable way and had it not been for rocking waist beads she may not have had the lightbulb moment she needed until things went from bad to worse.

Hey, hey! Welcome back to the BGSC Podcast. If you have been struggling to feel centered or recharged, this episode is for you because it may hold the missing key in your self-care practice. In this episode I'm sharing a bit about earthing, the practice of connecting physically with the earth as well as growing my own food. Yes, after 4 or 5 years I've finally moved forward on getting a balcony garden started. Earthing (or grounding) as well as growing my own food are tools for my self-care kit that are both helping me to not only tap into calm and joy, but also allowing me to reconnect with my roots. Listen in for more.

Hey, girl, hey! Recently, right as I was hopping off of an Instagram Live a young lady asked me about self-soothing. I wasn't able to discuss it then, so thought the podcast would be an excellent place to provide some insight. In this episode I talk about what self-soothing is, why I feel that it in some cases it's a band-aid fix (but definitely a tool for our self-care tool kits) and also some ways to do it to bring down stress levels and anxiety.

In this episode I'm sharing five things that I wish I knew years ago when I battled depression. The Mayo Clinic defines depression as a mood disorder that that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Causes of depression include abuse, serious illnesses, personal problems and even genes with women being twice as likely as men to be depressed. (WebMD) According to Hopkins Medicine, approximately 26% of Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year. That is about 1 out of every 4 adults. My hope is that this episode, and my story, help you or someone you know to understand that if you've ever experienced depression, anxiety, sadness or uncertainty, you are not alone.

Hey, Hey! In this episode of the Brown Girl Self-Care Podcast I'm in conversation with Dr. Nic Hardy, a Licensed Therapist based out of TX whose zone of expertise includes helping us repair and/or grow from our relationships while also addressing challenges we face that are rooted in fear, anxiety and trauma. His work has been featured in Cosmopolitan, HuffPost, NBC LX, PopSugar Ask.Men, Bustle, PscyhCentral and other national publications. He has also consulted on mental health for several fortune 500 companies. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Houston, where his research focused on relationship satisfaction in Black and minority families. Today, Nic and I are talking about self-care as it relates to issues including: Survival mode Managing tension in relationships where we are the primary caregiver The importance of not overcompensating in relationships How to better communicate with your partner in healthier ways so that we aren't sending/reading the dreaded "we need to talk" text message You can find Nic here: Instagram -> https://www.instagram.com/nichardy_/ Website to book a session -> https://www.nichardy.com/ Twitter -> https://www.twitter.com/nichardycs If you know that it's your season to take your self-care to the next level, be sure to join my private community on Patreon -> https://www.patreon.com/BrownGirlSelfCare

I got teased and bullied for being to light
This episode hit home so much for me, I will def be revisiting this conversation.
Loved this...yes, please do more. It was very helpful and timely when I found it.
Love the rubber band idea! I have a wrist band I wear every day that reads LOVE > FEAR and I'm going to try this process with that. Praying for you, girl! ❤
Amen! Thank you for sharing this. Needed the reminder this week...
I love that you addressed this. I, too, struggle with the idea of "manifestation" and even the popularity of "affirmations." I decided to write out affirmations for myself that are rooted in faith and love how I feel empowered reading them...empowered by the strength of Christ in me.
