You Don't Have to Run Away to Feel Free: Travel, Burnout, and Building a Life You Love (with Alicia Booker)
What if you keep booking trips just to escape? Alicia Booker and I talk about building a life you don't want to run from. 🤎This season is about finding who we are after the storm. In this conversation, coach and travel co-founder Alicia Booker and I talk about solo trips, bestie trips, burnout, and why a passport can't fix missing boundaries.

I can build a life that feels like peace.Brown Heart Mindful Moment: Stay for a guided reflection: what can you do in one hour a day so you don't feel like you have to escape?Join One Brave Thing: The Accountability Collective, November through January.

Get Your Umbrella: Finding Joy in the Storm
Recorded on a solo trip I almost didn't take: two years of the podcast, a hard year, and finding joy in the middle of the storm.Hey y'all 🤎 This one is special. It's my birthday week, the Brown Heart Wellness Podcast just turned two, and I recorded this episode on the beach during a solo trip I almost talked myself out of.I'm sharing what this past year has really looked like: being laid off last October, my family shifting all at once, and the long work of finding my footing when it felt like I was drowning. I talk about why it's okay to pause, why coming up for air is part of saving yourself, and why bravery doesn't always feel brave.This season isn't about the storm itself. It's about finding joy and finding ourselves in the middle of it. So get your umbrella. Let's talk about it.In this episode:- Why I started this show two years ago, and how it grew into the Brown Heart community- Where the Brown Heart came from- Last October: the layoff, the family shifts, and the spiral I wasn't ready for- Letting my footing find me, one day at a time- Saving yourself: dive in, come up for air, go back in- Travel, escape, and the difference between running away and needing a pause- Giving yourself a full-bodied yes- Why the brave thing doesn't always feel good in the moment- Getting your umbrella and finding joy in the stormBrown Heart Affirmation:I am coming up out of the water. I've got my umbrella. I don't have to wait for the storm to pass to find my joy.Brown Heart Mindful Moment:Let your shoulders drop and sit with me by the ocean for a moment. Picture yourself opening your umbrella. Breathe in slow, and let go. You are covered, and you can rest right here, even in the rain.One Brave Thing:Before you hit a reason to cancel on yourself, ask "What's the solution?" before you say "I quit."Timestamps:00:00 The solo trip I almost didn't take02:00 Why I started this podcast04:54 Where the Brown Heart came from06:28 Last October: when the storm hit09:27 Letting my footing find me13:55 Come up for air, go back in, save yourself15:37 Travel, escape, and needing a pause18:00 On the beach, full of gratitude18:31 What do you deserve a full-bodied yes to?20:39 Bravery doesn't always feel brave23:03 Get your umbrella27:03 Brown Heart Mindful Moment29:21 A birthday gift for the showIt's my birthday week and the show's birthday too.

Bonus: Everybody Needs a Nap
Burnout isn't just being tired. Robin Hopkins and I talk about the beliefs that keep us running on empty. 🤎This season is about finding who we are after the storm. But sometimes we have to talk about resting in the middle of it.I joined Robin Hopkins and producer Steph Colburn on Well...Adjusting to talk about how to recognize burnout, why so many of us end up there, and what we learned about work, rest, and bravery from the generations before us. We get into my grandmother's answer when I asked her about bravery, why doing less can feel like panic, and why "lazy" is usually a judgment, not the truth.Affirmation: I don't have to earn my rest.Brown Heart Mindful Moment: Stay to the end for a short breathing practice. You are not broken.One Brave Thing: Practice STOP this week.CTA: Oldest or only daughter?

MY CAPACITY IS MY CAPACITY
My capacity is my capacity. After a season of living my own lessons, I'm back for Season 3 and ready to talk liberated living.Hey y'all, welcome back to the Brown Heart Wellness Podcast. After a podcast sabbatical filled with learnings, growth, and a lot of transition, including a layoff from my corporate role, I found myself living out the lessons from Seasons 1 and 2. The biggest one? My capacity is my capacity.In this reintroduction, I share what this season taught me, why your mental wellness deserves more space, and what's ahead for Season 3: liberated living, choosing your preferences first, and deconstructing the boxes we've been put in (and the ones we put ourselves in). Because we aren't always the problem. We live and work in systems too.Stay with me, share this with a friend, and sit with me. We are a community.Brown Heart Affirmation:I am allowed to exist fully in the life I have built.Brown Heart Mindful Moment:Take a big deep breath, exhale, and ask yourself: What's one thing that I know I like?Your One Brave Thing:Choose one preference this week and put it first.Join The Oldest & Only waitlist:Update since recording: the waitlist is still open, and the first cohort now begins January 2027.

The Lie About Self-Compassion That’s Burning You Out
In a season where everything feels loud, heavy, and urgent, many of us are exhausted while still expecting ourselves to function at full capacity.In this episode, Samantha Edu explores one of the most damaging lies about self-compassion and how it quietly fuels burnout. What many people are calling “stress” right now is often a threat response. When the world feels unstable, our nervous systems stay on high alert, and compassion can feel like something we can’t afford.This conversation is about staying awake to the world without burning yourself to the ground, choosing impact without self-erasure, and leading yourself with care in chaotic times.Brown Heart Affirmation:I can be honest about what’s happening without abandoning myself.I can choose impact that does not cost me my humanity.💛 Support & Next StepsIf your capacity has shifted but your calling hasn’t, you don’t have to navigate that alone.Learn more about individual therapy and the burnout support group:https://secure.helloalma.com/providers/samantha-edu/Share this episode with someone who’s functioning, but not okay.

You’re Not Weak. Your Capacity Shifted.
What happens when your capacity changes but your identity doesn’t?In this season-opening episode, Samantha reflects on a powerful metaphor. The difference between being a teacup and being a vase. Same purpose. Different capacity.After a difficult professional interaction, she realized something important. She wasn’t a teacup because she was weak. Her capacity had shifted. And the real harm comes when we expect teacup capacity to produce vase-level outcomes.This episode is an honest conversation about:Allowing your capacity and bandwidth to change across seasonsWhy being tired doesn’t mean you’re less capableHow burnout shows up when output expectations don’t match realityLetting your inner strength rest without disappearingRemembering that strength doesn’t vanish just because it’s not needed right nowIf you’re in a season where things feel heavier, slower, or more tender, this episode offers permission to stop proving and start honoring where you are.What shape am I right now?And what would it look like to honor that instead of fighting it?🫖 If this metaphor resonates and you want to read the full written reflection, it’s available on Substack.🎥 Starting this season, the audio version of the podcast lives on Spotify. For the full visual experience, including imagery and presence, you can watch the episode on YouTube.🤎 Stay close this season as we continue exploring capacity, self-trust, and what it means to lead ourselves with care.

My Brain Short-Circuited in Q4
As this year comes to a close, I’m being honest about where I am.Q4 took more out of me than I expected. My brain felt short-circuited, my body felt tired, and the idea of “finishing strong” just wasn’t realistic. So in this episode, I talk about what it means to simply finish. Not perfectly. Not impressively. Just with compassion.I reflect on why one season doesn’t define an entire year, why endurance deserves more grace than we give it, and how I’m choosing to move through this ending without rushing myself into clarity or closure.This episode is for anyone who made it to the end of the year tired, quieter than usual, or still figuring things out. You’re not behind. You’re human.In this episode, I explore:Why Q4 felt heavy and disorientingLetting go of the pressure to “finish strong”What endurance looks like in real lifeEnding the year with honesty instead of urgencyHolding hope without forcing a planAs I close out the year, I also share about The Hall Pass, a community-centered offering created for Black women navigating layoffs, career shifts, and employment transitions. It’s rooted in access, care, and not having to move through uncertainty alone.Learn more about The Hall Pass here:https://stan.store/brownheartwellness/p/the-hall-pass-for-black-women-navigating-layoffsI also briefly name that I’m opening space for new coaching clients as we move into the new year, for those who want support while they figure things out at a humane pace.Take what you need from this episode. Leave the rest. And thank yourself for finishing.
