  • Powerful truths about healing and transformation

    The episode with Devi Brown shines with depth and clarity. Her take on giving ourselves “permission to shatter” and approaching healing as devotion—not just self-care—is a powerful reframing that speaks to the heart of true transformation.

    I’ll keep it succinct.

    For as much as I read books and listen to them as I keep busy; I’d somehow forgotten about checking this specific podcast out (from learning about it years ago) until I stumbled across it. As someone who advocates for mental healthcare; I truly appreciate how much so many facets of Black women are explored and celebrated in this series. Thank you! Congratulations on letting your light shine! 💞
