(audio hugs), sunjoys, and eternal softness. in this episode i talk about everything “soft life.” i just returned from greece, so i reflect on my travel experiences as well as talk about ms. walker’s most recent album, Clear 2: The Soft Life. taking a deep dive into the idea of eternal softness, i challenge it by uncovering my discoveries in my most recent read, Black Girls Must Die Exhausted. very much, a lot to unpack, but this episode truly feels like an audio hug (very corny j. cole reference). i hope y’all enjoy. - sincerely, Ryann

What’s a common challenge that Black women face with their self-care? Prioritizing rest. In today's fast-paced society, self-care and rest are often touted as essential components of wellness. Still, many Black women struggle to prioritize their own self-care, mental health, and rest. In this episode, we explore the reasons why we Black women face unique challenges when it comes to taking care of ourselves and discuss practical strategies for overcoming these obstacles and making self-care a priority in our daily lives. Grab a pillow, a cup of tea, and tune in as we delve into this important and timely topic.

Key Topics

• Why do we struggle with rest?
• How do I keep myself motivated to keep a rest practice long-term?
• What keeps us from keeping a long-term rest practice?

Here you are again, telling yourself you will take that break, make time for self-care, slow down, balance life, and finally prioritize your rest. You’ve read and saved all the self-care Instagram quotes and followed all the wellness girlies, but you still feel exhausted. You’re still suffering from burnout and need something to change. We’ve been there too, and are here to support you, sis! 

Introducing Radical Restoration, a nurturing and cozy podcast for Black millennial women searching for rest. We discuss the art of rest and offer tools and strategies to realistically put rest into daily practice. Join our 'Pillow-talk' hosts, Dr. Niecie and Coach Bethany, as we cultivate a safe community for Black women who need to recover from exhaustion and establish a work-life fit. Need to heal from chronic distress? Need an escape from hustle culture? Need a community you can depend on and trust in? We got you. This virtual home offers respite from the pressures of a capitalistic society and will help you find fulfillment in everyday life. Welcome home, sis.

Over the years, we've collaborated to provide healing spaces for Black women and developed strategies to help you prioritize rest and reclaim work-life balance.

In this introductory trailer, we'll introduce ourselves as your hosts and provide an overview of our brand-new podcast. We'll explore various topics, including daily rest practice ideas, healing from institutional violence, work-life fit, rest and restoration practices, philosophies of rest, and much more. Throughout our episodes, we'll offer tips for living the Radical Restoration lifestyle, transforming generational trauma, and finding restoration in interpersonal relationships. We'll also discuss self-care and community care, and share our favorite books, podcasts, movies, etc., that center on rest(oration). You'll hear from both a creative coach/therapist, a health and wellness coach, and other guests, and we'll teach evidence-based ways to trade hustle culture habits for healthy rest habits. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage, pillow, and blanket, and join us on this journey. Let's get rested!

We decided to name this series "Talk to Me".  Now that we are mature and wiser, we wanted to  share with our younger-self information that we learned along the way.  If we could just go back in time and start over...  It's very therapeutic to say the least.

Part 2 we share our thoughts with our "teen" self.  Oh boy, do I remember those years and wished I could have done a whole lot of things different, but we live and we learn.

You should take the time and write a letter to your teen-self.  What would you tell her?

Be Great, Be Wonderful, Be Youtiful!
