Have you ever wondered how societal norms of modesty and beauty shape our thoughts, feelings, and even our interactions?

Has this winter felt like the longest winter ever?

Those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are currently in the last few weeks of winter. And for some of us that get hit hard by the winter weather, this time of year can seem like it will never end. The colder temps and shorter daylight hours make us want to go into hibernation mode.

But do you feel an extra sense of sadness during the winter months? You could be ...

You know the story. You set out to achieve your goal for the year, month, week, or day. You're feeling super motivated.

But then something happens. There's a subtle internal shift, and you find yourself losing motivation. And then you question the goal you set for yourself, and doubts swirl around in your mind.

In episode 19, Being In Transition, TaReon talked about her transition as a new Mom. And in a previous episode way back in 2021, she talked about rebranding the podcast from Wellness for Black Girls to Black Woman In Bloom. One thing that those episodes have in common is that she presented some thoughts on identity. 

In this episode, TaReon dives into what it means to be a black woman in bloom. By the end of the episode, you’ll feel...

In Ep 16 of the podcast, we talked about healing from the effects of internalized racism and inferiority.  In this episode, we'll continue the conversation by diving into the healing process by uncovering the concepts of self-love and self-acceptance.  These terms, especially self-love, are the sort of terms we commonly hear thrown around within the wellness space, but it can be hard to know what they mean in a tangible way.  ...

Have you ever found yourself taking an unplanned, but much needed, break from something? What about a break from something you genuinely enjoy?

Well, that’s exactly what happened with me and podcasting. Life happened (i.e. recovering from a toxic workplace) and my mind and body forced me to rest.

In this episode, I share: 

• What influenced the break in detail
• Some of the events and my reflections during the break plus...

We're back! It’s officially Black History Month 2021 in the US and Canada, and recently President Biden signed executive actions to help work towards racial equity in our nation. These recent "happenings", as well as, my recent exploration of the film series, Small Axe by Steve McQueen,  got me thinking about racial justice issues and generational trauma and healing. So in this episode we'll discuss generational...
