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.

They're on a mission to elevate both the personal and professional well-being of Black women. Their mindfulness products feature curated collections from Black female artists and reflect the values, dreams, and joy in our life experience. They believe art should be savored and design puzzles to be framed and used as home decor.
