Episode 183
In this transformative episode of Women of Color: An Intimate Conversation, we explore the revolutionary power of rest, boundaries, and financial freedom. Black women have long been conditioned to equate worth with productivity, but this conversation is about shifting the narrative—because rest is resistance, boundaries are power, and wealth is reclamation.

REST: A Radical Act of Self-Preservation
Therapist Elizabeth McCoy reminds us that rest is not just about sleep—it’s a form of protest, a reclamation of time, and an act of healing. When Black women prioritize rest, they dismantle generational cycles of exhaustion and step into a space of true self-care and empowerment.
REFUSE: The Power of Boundaries
Neomieka Harris emphasizes the necessity of saying no without guilt. Women have been conditioned to overextend themselves, but setting firm boundaries is the key to protecting their time, energy, and peace. Refusing to conform to toxic productivity culture allows for deeper fulfillment and intentional living.
RECLAIM: Wealth, Joy & Purpose
Financial expert Bridgett Springer discusses the intersection of financial literacy and self-care. By taking control of their money, women reclaim their freedom, confidence, and future. She shares practical tips on building financial security, breaking free from scarcity mindsets, and cultivating generational wealth.
Food, Culture & Wellness
Chef Krystal Norman shares how food connects us to our heritage, healing, and community. Through her culinary journey, she highlights the importance of nourishment—not just for the body, but for the soul. Her work in creating opportunities for adults with special needs further demonstrates how rest and inclusion go hand in hand.
