What Black Women Need To Hear About Rest, Money and Doing Less in 2025

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. Let’s take this journey together—we are worthy of this care.

In this episode of Brown Girl Self-Care, we're cutting through the noise and naming the truth:

Black women are not the problem — the systems are.

Capitalism, white supremacy, grind culture, and patriarchy have conditioned us to blame ourselves for exhaustion, financial struggle, and “inconsistency.” But that ends here.

We’re not just naming the harm — we’re talking about how to push back in 2025. From reclaiming rest, to doing less without guilt, to unlearning money shame, this episode is your reminder that healing and resistance can co-exist.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why rest still feels hard (and who benefits from that)
• How capitalism set us up to fail with money
• The truth about “doing the most” and what it costs us
• Real ways to resist — even if you're still tired, in debt, or just getting started

This is for you if:

• You’ve been feeling like you’re not doing enough
• You’re healing while still playing the game
• You’re ready to choose rest, ease, and clarity — without guilt
