I'm Natasha Riley, licensed therapist and CEO of Javery Integrative Wellness Services, and this is where we move beyond talking about change to actually creating it. Each episode gives you practical tools to build a daily pleasure practice—the art of finding joy, presence, and fulfillment in your ordinary life. Because you've already proven you can achieve anything. Now it's time to learn how to enjoy it. This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about being fully present with what's already there.https://www.javerywellness.comfalseepisodichttps://feeds.captivate.fm/owning-pleasure-as-a-bl/nopodcastShe Did Everything Right w/ Symone' AustinShe Did Everything Right w/ Symone' AustinIn this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we sit down with Simone’ — UX content designer turned full-time content creator — for one of the most honest conversations we've had about what happens when you do everything you were supposed to do... and life still falls apart.

After nearly a decade in tech, Simone was laid off in 2025. She recorded the moment, posted it, and watched it reach over 700,000 views overnight.

But this episode isn't really about going viral. It's about what it means to lose the thing you built your identity around, have to ask for help when you've never done that before, and slowly discover that the version of yourself on the other side is someone you actually like.

If you've ever felt like your worth was wrapped up in your job title, struggled to ask for support, or wondered what it would look like to finally choose yourself — this one's for you.

  • Asking for help is a skill, not a weakness: From getting a roommate to launching a Buy Me a Coffee, Simone’ had to completely reframe what it meant to receive support — and found out people were more generous than she expected.
  • Survival mode can quietly become your ceiling: It wasn't until Simone’ stopped just trying to cover her bills and started asking "what if I actually went for it?" that everything shifted.

Being able to handle something has never meant you were supposed to.

If you're a high-achieving woman who keeps saying yes out of competence rather than bandwidth, this episode will help you see why — and what it's been costing you.

Tune in for warm, honest reflection on the survival pattern of overriding your own limits, and what it might look like to finally stop.

Key Takeaways:

  • Ability is what your skills allow. Capacity is what your system can sustain. Confusing the two is a pattern, not a personality trait.
  • For many high-achieving Black women, demonstrating ability became a survival strategy — but honoring capacity was never modeled as an option.
  • When we consistently override capacity, the body eventually forces the pause we refused to give ourselves.

This isn't about self-care checklists. It's about the deep, inherited pattern of putting yourself last and what it's costing you long-term.

If you're the woman everyone needs and you can't remember the last time someone asked what you need — this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

  • The pattern of putting yourself last isn't a character flaw — it's a learned survival response, and it makes complete sense given what many of us were taught early in life.
  • Choosing yourself often triggers fear because on some level, your nervous system has connected your availability to your worth. Naming that fear is the first step to changing it.
  • Understanding why you put yourself last is valuable — but shifting the pattern safely, working through the guilt, and learning to set down what you've been carrying takes more than awareness alone.

Host Natasha opens up about her own moments of wanting a regular life, the relief of imagining a simpler existence, and what it means when the people who love you keep reminding you that you weren't made for that. If you've ever thought what if I just stopped — even briefly — this one is for you.

Key Takeaways:

  • Ambition Fatigue is real: The weariness of living at the edge of your own capacity isn't weakness or ingratitude — it's your nervous system asking for relief from the perpetual becoming.
  • The "regular life" fantasy is protection: It's protecting you from the vulnerability of your calling being heavy, from the grief of knowing what you know about yourself, and from having to feel everything you've been outrunning.
  • Ambition and self-care don't have to be at war: When they are, you end up resenting your own gifts and performing self-care rather than feeling it. The goal isn't to quiet your ambition — it's to let your self-care become spacious enough to hold it.

Reflection Questions from This Episode:

  • When you imagine that regular life, what specifically does it feel like? What are you longing for — and is there a version of that available within your real life?
  • Is your ambition currently running on vision and joy — or on fear and proving?

What would it look like to be ambitious and well-rested? Not one or the other — both at the same time.

Listen Now:

Hit play for the woman who sometimes wishes she could just want less — and then hates herself for thinking it.

If you've been saying yes out of obligation, habit, or fear for so long that you can't even locate what you actually want anymore — this one is for you.

We explore the pattern of compulsive compliance, why it develops, what it protects you from, and the real cost it carries over time. This isn't about learning to say no. It's about understanding how you lost your yes in the first place — and what it takes to get it back.

Key Takeaways:

  • Constantly saying yes out of obligation isn't a personality trait — it's a survival pattern, and it makes complete sense given what many of us have been taught about our role, our worth, and what keeping the peace requires
  • When your yes is automatic, your desire goes offline — and over time, you stop knowing what you actually want
  • Getting your yes back isn't about learning a script or a technique — it's about rebuilding trust with yourself, one honest moment at a time

This isn't about cutting people off or choosing between yourself and the people you love. It's about understanding why family systems resist change, what that resistance is really communicating, and what it costs you when you collapse your limits to keep the peace.

If you've ever done the work and then felt punished for it by the people closest to you, this one is for you.

Key Takeaways:

  • Family pushback on your boundaries is often a fear response from the system — not proof that you did something wrong
  • Your role in your family was assigned long before you had the power to choose it, and changing that role will naturally create friction
  • Holding your boundaries in the face of family pressure is one of the hardest — and most important — forms of self-respect

If you've ever been told you're "too sensitive," "too much," or just "defensive" when you were trying to speak your truth, this episode is for you.

We're naming what's actually happening beneath the surface, why the two responses feel so similar, and why the distinction matters far more than most of us were ever taught.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Defensiveness and self-defense are not the same thing — one protects your self-image, one protects your self-respect — and the difference is worth understanding
  2. For Black women especially, the two have been deliberately conflated in ways that make us stop trusting our own read on situations
  3. You can begin to notice the difference in your body, even before you can articulate it — and that noticing is where the real work begins

If you've ever felt like you're performing transformation—consuming all the content, having all the insights, but not actually implementing anything—this episode will help you see why that happens and what it takes to shift from learning to living.

Natasha shares her own decision to pause coaching programs and lean into implementation, offering a powerful example of what it looks like to move from intellectual understanding to embodied change.

Key Takeaways:

• The Learning Loop: How consuming content can become a sophisticated form of avoidance that masquerades as growth

• Safety in Knowing: Why staying in the learning phase feels safer than the vulnerability of actually implementing

• The Implementation Gap: What it costs you when you keep gaining insights without taking action

• From Performing to Living: How to identify where you're performing transformation instead of embodying it

She opens up about the old version of herself that would have been glued to the analytics, catastrophizing about losing momentum and letting her audience down. But when she came back and looked at the numbers? Weekly downloads were increasing.

In this episode, Natasha explores what that experience revealed about a pattern so many high-achieving women carry: the deeply held belief that your value is contingent on your output.

If you've ever been afraid to pause, slow down, or step back from something you've built — this one is for you.

Key Takeaways:

  1. The fear of stopping is often a nervous system response rooted in survival — not an accurate prediction of what will actually happen when you rest.
  2. The belief that your worth depends on your output didn't come from nowhere. It was inherited, reinforced, and adaptive — and it can be examined.
  3. What you build with integrity continues to work even when you step away. Rest is not the same as abandonment.

Episode Challenge:

This week, identify one place in your life where fear of the outcome is keeping you from taking a necessary pause. Ask yourself: "What am I actually afraid will happen? And what's the real evidence that fear is telling the truth?" You don't have to act on the answer yet — just get curious.

]]>In this solo episode of Owning Pleasure As a Black Woman, Natasha gets real about what happened when she took a few weeks away from recording — and the fear spiral that almost wasn't.

She opens up about the old version of herself that would have been glued to the analytics, catastrophizing about losing momentum and letting her audience down. But when she came back and looked at the numbers? Weekly downloads were increasing.

In this episode, Natasha explores what that experience revealed about a pattern so many high-achieving women carry: the deeply held belief that your value is contingent on your output.

If you've ever been afraid to pause, slow down, or step back from something you've built — this one is for you.

If you've ever said no to something and spent the next 48 hours replaying the conversation, checking your phone obsessively, or planning how to take it back, this episode is for you.

We dive into why your nervous system treats boundary-setting like a threat, how generational conditioning makes saying no feel dangerous, and practical ways to sit with someone else's disappointment without fixing it.

Key Takeaways:

  1. The people-pleasing hangover is a nervous system response, not a character flaw—your body learned early that saying yes equals safety and saying no equals danger
  2. The discomfort you feel after setting a boundary isn't evidence you did something wrong—it's evidence you did something different, and your nervous system is adjusting to a new pattern
  3. You can care about someone AND let them have their own feelings—their disappointment is not an emergency you need to fix, and managing their emotional experience keeps you trapped in the people-pleasing cycle

If you're the woman who holds impossible standards for yourself, overthinks every decision, says yes when you mean no, feels guilty for resting, or secretly worries that people will discover you're a fraud despite your real success, this episode is for you.

I break down the five telltale signs of high achievement patterns and reveal why these behaviors aren't character flaws—they're survival tools that kept our ancestors safe but no longer serve us.

You'll learn where these patterns come from, what they're costing you, and most importantly, how to start shifting your relationship with achievement so you can be successful AND satisfied.

Key Takeaways

Sign #1: Impossible Standards (But Only For You) - You hold yourself to standards you'd never expect from anyone else. Good enough exists for everyone but you. Perfect is the only acceptable outcome, and even when you do something well, that voice in your head says you could have done better.

Sign #2: Overthinking Everything - You replay conversations for days, take forever to make simple decisions, second-guess yourself constantly, and your brain never shuts off. You're mentally exhausted from analyzing every possible outcome before taking action.

Sign #3: Saying Yes When You Mean No - You overextend yourself to avoid disappointing others, you're the person everyone calls because they know you won't say no, and you convince yourself "it's not a big deal" even when it absolutely is. Setting boundaries feels mean and uncomfortable.

Sign #4: Rest Feels Wrong - You feel guilty when you're not being productive, you justify rest by what you've accomplished first, and your worth equals your output. Days off feel wasteful, and you can't just chill without feeling like you're being lazy.

Sign #5: You Feel Like a Fraud - No matter what you accomplish, you feel like you're not actually that good. You attribute your success to luck, timing, or other people—anything but your own skills and capabilities. Compliments make you uncomfortable because you don't believe them.

Important Reminders

You're Not Broken - These patterns came from somewhere. They kept you and your lineage safe. Being perfect meant avoiding criticism. Overthinking meant fewer mistakes. People-pleasing kept the peace. These aren't character flaws—they're survival tools you don't need anymore.

You Don't Have to Change Who You Are - Being ambitious isn't bad. Wanting to do things well isn't bad. We're changing your relationship to these things. You can be ambitious without being burnt out. You can have standards without being miserable. You can be successful AND satisfied.

Small Shifts Add Up - These patterns took years to build, so be patient with yourself. Start by noticing when the patterns show up. Question one belief you've been carrying. Try shifting one small thing this week. The awareness is the first step.

What to Do Next

  1. Notice the patterns - Just see them when they show up. No judgment, no story—just awareness.
  2. Question one belief - Is it actually true, or is it something someone told you?
  3. Shift one small thing - Say no to one thing. Rest without earning it. Send the email without rewriting it. Let something be good enough.

Tune in as we explore why high-achieving Black women become disconnected from their senses, what this pattern is protecting you from, and what it costs when numbness becomes your baseline. If you're looking to understand why you achieve everything but feel nothing, you won't want to miss this one!

Key Takeaways:

● Sensory disconnection is adaptation, not brokenness: When you've spent years being the strong one, your nervous system learns to protect you from overwhelm by disconnecting you from sensation. This wasn't a failure—it was survival.

● You can't selectively numb: When you turn down the volume on pain, exhaustion, and resentment to keep functioning, you also turn it down on joy, pleasure, and aliveness. The same mechanism that helps you survive prevents you from thriving.

● Understanding precedes reconnection: Trying to force yourself back into feeling without understanding why you disconnected often reinforces the pattern. Real reconnection begins with compassion for the version of you who needed numbness to survive.

This isn't just about taking sexy pictures—it's about the profound experience of seeing yourself through a lens that celebrates rather than criticizes.

Laquel shares how she creates safe, welcoming spaces for women to explore different sides of themselves, why most women have never experienced professional pampering, and what happens when high-achieving women finally give themselves permission to be seen.

Tune in as we explore the intersection of creativity, rest, self-care, and the revolutionary act of prioritizing yourself—even when guilt shows up. If you're tired of being everyone's photographer but never in the frame yourself, you won't want to miss this one!

Key Takeaways:

  1. Self-Care Isn't Selfish—It's Necessary: Laquel shares why creating moments for yourself (whether through photography, gardening, or reading in the tub) isn't indulgent—it's essential for maintaining your sanity and identity, especially during chaotic seasons of life.
  2. The Power of Being Seen: Most women never experience professional photography beyond maybe their wedding day. Boudoir sessions offer more than pretty pictures—they reveal parts of yourself that have always existed but you've never gotten to witness.
  3. Creative Rest is Real Rest: We discuss creative rest as one of the seven types of rest, and how tapping into your creative side (photography, sewing, reading, gardening) actually restores you in ways sleep alone cannot.

Instead of the usual pressure to fix, grind, or reinvent yourself, I'm sharing the three words guiding my 2026: Space, Intuition, and Invest.

Tune in as we explore why creating space isn't selfish—it's essential for capacity. Discover how your intuition didn't disappear, it just got drowned out by years of over-functioning and survival patterns. And learn why investing in yourself before crisis mode isn't indulgent—it's strategic wisdom.

If you're tired of the annual January performance and ready to move through this year with intention instead of pressure, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways:

● Space = Capacity, Not Laziness: Learn why creating space—internally and externally—is essential for high-achieving women who are constantly running but never truly present. Discover how lack of space shows up as irritability, numbness, and resentment, even toward people and commitments you care about.

● Intuition Is Body-Based Wisdom: Your intuition didn't disappear—it got quieted through years of overriding your body's signals. Explore how to reconnect with the body-based wisdom that helps you make aligned decisions and trust yourself again.

● Investment Is About More Than Money: Discover why choosing support sooner instead of later is strategic, not weak. Learn how investing your time, energy, and resources in yourself before you're depleted creates sustainable thriving instead of constant survival.

• Why Words Over Resolutions Still Wins: Choosing words instead of specific goals helps you avoid the pass/fail mentality that leaves you feeling like a failure at year's end. Words create alignment and allow for flexible growth in multiple areas of your life—every action that connects to your word is a win, no matter how small.

• My 2025 Word #1—Expand: This word is about growing intentionally in personal life, business, and self-care without adding stress or overwhelm. Expansion means deepening existing relationships, exploring new experiences, and allowing myself to take up more space in areas where I've been playing small. It's not about doing more—it's about going deeper and wider with what already exists.

• My 2025 Word #2—Repurpose: Instead of constantly creating from scratch, this word reminds me to leverage existing work, content, and habits to create a more focused and impactful life. Repurposing honors the foundation I've already built and makes room for strategic growth. It's about working smarter, not harder, and recognizing that I don't need to reinvent the wheel to create value.

How to Choose Your Own Words:

1. Reflect on Where You Are Right Now

  1. What areas of your life feel ready for growth?
  2. Where have you been playing small or holding back?
  3. What foundation have you already built that you can expand upon?
  4. What feels heavy or redundant that could be streamlined

2. Choose One or Two Focus Areas (Maximum)

  1. Don't overwhelm yourself by trying to expand everywhere at once
  2. Pick the areas that feel most alive or most ready for growth
  3. Remember: You can expand in different areas throughout the year—you don't have to do everything in January

3. Remember This Critical Truth

  1. Healing isn't constant work. At some point, you need to live and enjoy the fruits of your labor
  2. You've already done so much internal work—now it's time to experience the life you've been building
  3. Expansion doesn't mean more self-improvement projects; it means living more fully in the growth you've already achieved

Questions to Guide Your Journey:

  1. Where in my life am I ready to grow without adding stress?
  2. What have I already created that I could use more strategically?
  3. What foundation have I built that's ready for the next level?
  4. Where have I been playing small that no longer serves me?
  5. What would feel spacious and aligned rather than overwhelming?

If you caught our previous episode about choosing words over resolutions, you know how transformative this practice can be. Now I'm walking you through exactly how I selected these words and what they mean for my journey this year.

These words represent my desire to deepen relationships, simplify life, and embrace the growth I've already achieved without adding unnecessary stress.

If you've ever felt like a failure when you didn't hit your specific goals by December 31st, this episode is for you.

I share her personal journey of replacing rigid resolutions with intentional words that guide her year—and how this shift transformed her approach to success, balance, and joy.

Tune in as we explore how choosing just three words can help you make aligned decisions, create sustainable wins, and find more ease in your life.

If you're a high-achieving woman who's tired of the pressure of perfection, you won't want to miss this one!

Key Takeaways:

• The Problem with Resolutions: Traditional resolutions are often too specific and create a pass/fail mentality that ignores all the progress you've made throughout the year. When you don't hit that exact goal (like losing exactly 20 pounds), you feel like a failure—even if you made incredible strides in other ways.

• The Power of Words: Choosing 2-3 intentional words for your year creates flexibility and alignment without the pressure. Words like "active," "easy," "simple," or "fun" allow everything you do to count as a win. There's no right or wrong way to lean into your words—they simply guide your decisions and help you find your "no" when something doesn't align.

• Natasha's 2023 Words—Easy, Simple, and Fun: After a year of making everything harder than it needed to be, Natasha chose these three words to guide her 2023. This practice helped her step away from perfectionism, create better boundaries, make decisions more easily, and reclaim joy in her business and life. The result? More brain space, more fun experiences, and accomplishments that actually felt sustainable.

Implementation Section:

How to Choose Your Words for 2024:

1. Reflect on 2023

  1. What areas of your life feel most stressed or depleted?
  2. What do you want to feel more of in the new year?
  3. What would you like to decrease or let go of?
  4. Consider doing a Wheel of Life assessment to identify which areas need attention (Natasha discovered her "fun" bucket was dangerously low this way)

2. Identify 2-3 Words (Maximum)

  1. Keep it simple—more than three words leads back to overwhelm
  2. Choose words that represent the opposite of your current stress or the feeling you want to cultivate
  3. Examples: Rest, Active, Joy, Simple, Easy, Boundaries, Connection, Presence, Play, Abundance

3. Create Your Decision-Making Filter

  1. Use your words as buckets: Does this opportunity/commitment/decision align with my words?
  2. If it doesn't fit in one of your word buckets, it's easier to say no
  3. This practice helps high achievers get consistent wins without the pressure of one massive goal

4. Build Habits Around Your Words

  1. Everything you do throughout the year that aligns with your words reinforces new patterns
  2. After 12 months, these aren't just words anymore—they've become integrated habits and ways of being
  3. You can choose new words next year or continue with the same ones if they're still serving you

Questions to Guide Your Word Selection:

  1. What do I want to feel in 2024?
  2. Where am I most stressed right now?
  3. What would the opposite look or feel like?
  4. What did I have too little of this year?
  5. What brought me the most joy when I did experience it?

I explore why hustle culture was never designed with Black women in mind, what it means to coast into the new year with intention, and how to release the shame around unmet goals. 

Tune in as we discuss the invisible labor that never gets counted, why rest is a strategic decision rather than a reward, and what becomes possible when you choose to end the year whole instead of "strong." 

If you're exhausted from constantly performing strength you don't feel, tired of measuring your worth by your productivity, or ready to give yourself permission to rest without earning it first, this episode is your invitation to end 2025 softly, slowly, and sanely.

Key Takeaways:

Hustle Culture & Inherited Scripts

  • Hustle culture assumes everyone starts from the same place of rest and privilege—but Black women carry invisible labor including emotional work, code-switching, microaggressions, family obligations, and generational expectations that never make it onto anyone's to-do list
  • The inherited script of constant motion was survival for our ancestors, but what was necessary for survival then might be stealing your ability to thrive now
  • Your humanity is more important than your productivity—you don't need to sprint through December to prove your worth when you've already proven it a thousand times over

Coasting Is a Strategy

  • Coasting means honoring your capacity—choosing sustainability over spectacle and longevity over one last push that leaves you depleted in January
  • Rest is a strategy, not a reward: you don't have to earn rest by overworking first or be on the brink of burnout to deserve a break
  • Like gardens that go dormant in winter to bloom in spring, you are not separate from nature and need seasons of rest too

What Becomes Possible

  • When you enter 2026 rested instead of running on empty, you start with actual clarity about what you want, energy to move toward goals with intention, and capacity to say no to what doesn't serve you
  • Finishing "whole" instead of "strong" means you valued yourself enough to stop when you needed to and trusted that your worth isn't tied to constant productivity

Releasing Goal Shame

  • You're not behind—you're entering a new cycle with more wisdom. Life happened, your capacity shifted, and you made the best decisions you could with the information and energy you had
  • Growth that doesn't fit on a vision board still counts: hard conversations, boundaries set, days you survived when surviving felt impossible, moments you chose yourself, times you asked for help
  • Making peace with your present reality doesn't mean giving up—it means you can want more AND accept where you are, which actually creates space for genuine movement

Gentle End-of-Year Rituals

  • Instead of aggressive goal-setting, try: slow mornings with no agenda, release rituals (write down and symbolically let go of what didn't serve you), journaling your wins (even small ones), permission to sleep without alarm, or declaring a theme word instead of rigid goals
  • Words like "ease," "peace," "alignment," "joy," "softness," "authenticity," "pleasure," "trust" can guide decisions without the pressure of specific measurable outcomes

Podcast: Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman

]]>efa3337c-ab14-4c11-824d-77cb8a4bf111Fri, 19 Dec 2025 15:00:00 -040035:36falsefull613136Your Body Keeps the Holiday Score: Recognizing Seasonal Stress SignalsYour Body Keeps the Holiday Score: Recognizing Seasonal Stress SignalsIn this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we explore how your body physically tracks and responds to holiday stress—even when your mind is trying to convince you that you're "fine." 

I break down the science of why your body keeps score, identifies the most common physical stress signals during the holiday season (from jaw clenching to immune system crashes), and provides practical tools for moving from overriding your body's wisdom to actually listening to it. 

Tune in as we discuss the mind-body connection, inherited patterns of stress response, and what it looks like to build body trust when you've been taught to push through no matter what. 

If you're experiencing unexplained physical symptoms, chronic exhaustion, or wondering why your body seems to "betray" you during the holidays, this episode will help you understand what's really happening—and how to respond with compassion instead of shame.

Key Takeaways:

Why Your Body Keeps Score

  • Your body and mind aren't separate systems—your body is literally processing and storing emotional experiences in real-time through your nervous system
  • Survival mode (sympathetic nervous system activation) was designed for short-term threats, but holiday stress keeps you activated for weeks or months, creating chronic physical symptoms
  • Black women often inherit patterns of overriding body signals from ancestors who needed to suppress their needs for survival—these aren't personal failures but generational patterns

Common Physical Stress Signals

  • The Tension Trio: Jaw clenching (from suppressing what you want to say), shoulder tension (from carrying burdens that aren't yours), and digestive issues (from chronic nervous system activation)
  • Sleep and energy disruption aren't about lack of sleep—they're about your nervous system staying in survival mode even when you're lying still
  • Getting sick after the holidays isn't coincidence—it's your immune system forcing the rest you won't give yourself permission to take

Moving to Body Attunement

  • You override your body because you learned that worth comes from productivity, not wellbeing—and for Black women, displaying vulnerability could feel dangerous
  • Building body trust requires separating sensation (data) from story (judgment): "I feel tired" versus "I shouldn't be tired"
  • Thank your body for giving you information instead of seeing signals as inconveniences or failures

Practical Tools

  • The Body Wisdom Check-In: Four-step practice of pausing, scanning, asking what your body needs, and responding (not overriding)
  • Create a Seasonal Stress Response Plan with your primary stress signals, response menu for each signal, daily non-negotiables, support system, and built-in recovery time
  • Set three daily alarms for body check-ins—it takes less than two minutes but creates a pattern of listening instead of overriding

  • The Tension Trio: Jaw clenching (from suppressing what you want to say), shoulder tension (from carrying burdens that aren't yours), and digestive issues (from chronic nervous system activation)
  • Sleep and energy disruption aren't about lack of sleep—they're about your nervous system staying in survival mode even when you're lying still
  • Getting sick after the holidays isn't coincidence—it's your immune system forcing the rest you won't give yourself permission to take

Moving to Body Attunement

  • You override your body because you learned that worth comes from productivity, not wellbeing—and for Black women, displaying vulnerability could feel dangerous
  • Building body trust requires separating sensation (data) from story (judgment): "I feel tired" versus "I shouldn't be tired"
  • Thank your body for giving you information instead of seeing signals as inconveniences or failures

Practical Tools

  • The Body Wisdom Check-In: Four-step practice of pausing, scanning, asking what your body needs, and responding (not overriding)
  • Create a Seasonal Stress Response Plan with your primary stress signals, response menu for each signal, daily non-negotiables, support system, and built-in recovery time
  • Set three daily alarms for body check-ins—it takes less than two minutes but creates a pattern of listening instead of overriding

Podcast: Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman

]]>9356d65f-9935-4045-85ab-74befb87c85fFri, 12 Dec 2025 15:00:00 -040034:33falsefull612126Setting Boundaries During Holiday Family DramaSetting Boundaries During Holiday Family DramaIn this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we dive into the complex reality of holiday family gatherings for Black women who are always expected to show up, hold it together, and keep the peace. 

I share practical strategies for protecting your peace during the holiday season, including specific boundary scripts, energy protection techniques, and permission to redesign traditions around what actually nourishes you. 

Tune in as we explore why you've become the default host/mediator/fixer, how to decline obligations without guilt, and what it looks like to enter January with your energy intact instead of completely depleted. 

If you're looking to experience a holiday season that doesn't drain your spirit, you won't want to miss this one!

Key Takeaways:

Understanding Your Default Role

  • Being capable doesn't mean you're obligated—hosting is emotional, physical, and mental labor that you're allowed to opt out of
  • Cultural scripts about service and sacrifice are inherited survival patterns that may no longer serve your ability to thrive
  • Someone's disappointment with your boundaries is not your responsibility to manage

Practical Boundary Scripts

  • Complete sentences need no justification: "I'm not hosting this year. I need the space to rest."
  • For invasive questions: "I'm keeping my dating life private" / "That's not something I'm discussing today" / "I'm not open to body comments today"
  • For unmet expectations: "If it doesn't get made, we'll adjust. I'm not picking up the extras this year"

Energy Protection Strategies

  • Before events: Drive yourself, set time limits, eat beforehand, and establish a grounding practice
  • During events: Take breaks, create physical distance from draining relatives, use the gray rock method, and leave early if needed
  • After events: Plan recovery time including quiet evenings, baths, journaling, or full rest days

Holiday Redesign Permission

  • You're allowed to change traditions: potlucks, smaller gatherings, catered meals, virtual check-ins, solo holidays, or completely new rituals
  • Ask yourself: "If I could design my ideal holiday without worrying about expectations, what would it look like?"
  • Small changes create permission for bigger changes—start with one shift this year

Dr. Taniqua Miller, a board-certified OBGYN and certified menopause specialist, joins us to discuss the real symptoms women experience, why traditional healthcare often falls short, and how to build a comprehensive care team for this major life transition. 

Tune in as we explore the physical, emotional, and relational changes that come with this transition, practical strategies for managing symptoms, and why community matters more than ever during midlife. If you're looking to understand what's happening in your body during perimenopause or support someone going through it, you won't want to miss this one!

Key Takeaways: 

● Understanding the Timeline: Perimenopause typically lasts 4-5 years before menopause (defined as 12 months without a period), with early symptoms often showing up as mood changes, joint pain, and sleep disruption before the classic hot flashes arrive. 

● Build Your Care Team: Just like pregnancy or adolescence, this transition requires a comprehensive support system including medical providers, mental health professionals, pelvic floor physical therapists, and community—not just one annual doctor's visit. 

● You're Not Broken: The grief, rage, brain fog, and physical changes are real physiological responses to hormonal shifts, not personal failures. Self-compassion and education are the first steps toward reclaiming agency during this transition.

As the time changes and daylight becomes scarce, many high-achieving Black women experience symptoms they may not even recognize as depression. I share my personal experience with SAD, explain how it shows up differently for Type-A personalities, and offer practical strategies to manage symptoms throughout the darker months. 

If you've been feeling off as the seasons change, this episode will help you recognize what's happening and give you tools to navigate it with more ease.

Key Takeaways:

  • SAD is real and affects us differently: Seasonal Affective Disorder is a form of depression that occurs during specific times of the year (typically fall/winter). Symptoms include sadness, fatigue, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, lack of motivation, and irritability.
  • Depression doesn't look the same for everyone: For high-achieving Black women, SAD might manifest as overcompensation, overworking, boundary violations, and functional depression—where you appear fine on the outside but feel heavy inside.
  • Practical tools can help: Light therapy, regular exercise (especially outdoors when possible), maintaining a healthy diet, mindfulness practices like meditation and yoga, and seeking professional support are all effective strategies for managing winter blues.

You know you need rest, but every time you try to prioritize yourself, that familiar voice whispers "you're being selfish." I break down why self-care feels like betrayal, how rest became rebellion, and most importantly—how to finally give yourself permission to matter without the emotional hangover.

Discover the historical roots of why rest feels dangerous, learn to distinguish between self-care and selfishness, and get practical tools to break the martyrdom cycle that's keeping you exhausted and resentful.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Double Bind Exposed: You're expected to be infinitely giving but never needy—a setup that keeps you trapped between exhaustion and guilt. This impossible standard is rooted in cultural myths that Black women are naturally stronger and need less, making self-care feel indulgent rather than essential.
  • Rest as Revolution: Your choice to rest is actually an act of reclaiming autonomy that may trigger your nervous system because historically, your ancestors' rest was controlled by others. When you rest without "earning" it, you're breaking generational patterns of exploitation.
  • Self-Preservation, Not Selfishness: Self-care isn't about bubble baths and face masks—it's about sustainable living. When you take care of yourself, you model healthy boundaries and give from overflow instead of depletion, which actually serves everyone around you better.

Episode Challenge: The "Rest Without Guilt" Practice

Step 1: Choose one form of rest that currently triggers guilt (saying no to unwanted plans, taking an "unearned" nap, not checking work emails after hours).

Step 2: Write yourself a literal permission slip: "I, [your name], give myself permission to [rest activity] without guilt because my wellbeing matters and this choice serves my highest good and the people I love."

Step 3: When guilt shows up, ask yourself:

  • Am I confusing self-care with selfishness because I've been taught my needs don't matter?
  • What would I tell my daughter/best friend if she felt guilty about this same choice?
  • How does my exhaustion actually serve the people I love?

Step 4: Rest anyway. Let the guilt be there without letting it run the show.

Nutritionist Robin joins us to reveal how everyday food choices directly impact your sexual health, energy, confidence, and intimate experiences—in ways most women never consider.

If you're a high-achieving Black woman struggling with low energy, brain fog, recurring yeast infections, or decreased libido, this conversation will transform how you think about food. 

Tune in as we discuss pH balance, the gut-brain-sex connection, hormone support through nutrition, and practical strategies for making sustainable changes that enhance both your overall wellness and your intimate life. 

You won't want to miss Robin's vulnerable story about discovering this connection firsthand, plus her actionable seven-day reset that makes change feel simple, not overwhelming.

Key Takeaways:

Your Food Choices Directly Impact Your Intimate Health: What you eat affects your pH balance, natural lubrication, vaginal health, scent, and even your body's response during sex. Foods high in sugar and dairy can trigger yeast infections, inflammation, and unpleasant odors that may affect your confidence and intimate experiences.

The Gut-Brain-Sex Triangle: Your gut health influences your mood, energy levels, mental clarity, and sexual desire. When your gut bacteria is imbalanced from poor nutrition, it creates cravings, brain fog, and fatigue—all of which impact your libido and ability to be present during intimacy.

Small Changes, Big Results: You don't need to overhaul your entire diet overnight. Robin's seven-day reset approach helps you identify which foods work for your body through strategic elimination and reintroduction, making sustainable change feel achievable rather than overwhelming.

Essential Nutrients for Sexual Wellness: Seeds (flax, sesame, pumpkin, sunflower) support hormone balance and natural lubrication. Leafy greens, berries, and avocados help detoxify and balance hormones. Vitamin D3 with K2 supports vaginal health, cellular repair, and lubrication—especially crucial for Black women who are more likely to be deficient.

Your Cycle Is Your Superpower When You Work With It: Understanding your menstrual cycle's phases allows you to plan high-energy activities (including sex) during your warrior phase post-menstruation, while honoring your body's need for rest and specific nutrients during your premenstrual phase.

If you've ever felt guilty about resting, equated being busy with being valuable, or can't sit still without your brain creating a to-do list, this episode is for you. 

I explore the historical roots of productivity scripts in the Black community, reveal whose voices are really in your head when you call yourself "lazy," and expose what the productivity trap is actually costing you—your connection to your body, your authentic desires, and your relationships.

Key Takeaways:

● The Productivity Script Isn't Yours: Those voices calling you lazy are inherited survival scripts from generations who had to work twice as hard to survive. The "strong Black woman" mythology equating struggle with worth was a survival strategy, not your identity.

● Your Worth ≠ Other People's Comfort: Productivity often becomes a way to avoid disappointing others through people-pleasing tendencies. Your rest isn't stealing from anyone—their discomfort with your boundaries is information, not instruction.

● The Real Cost of the Productivity Lie: Constant busyness disconnects you from your body's signals, causes you to lose touch with your authentic desires, and prevents present-moment connections in your relationships.

This Week's Action Plan:

  1. The Voice Detective Practice: Every time you feel guilty about resting, pause and ask "Whose voice is this really?" Write down the exact words and ask if you'd say this to someone you love.

  3. The Values Check: Before saying yes to anything, ask yourself: "Am I doing this because it aligns with my values, or because I'm afraid of someone's discomfort?"

  5. Body Wisdom Reset: Set three daily alarms. When they go off, ask your body "What do you need right now?" and give it one small thing it's asking for.

You know it's the right decision—you're already overwhelmed—but there's that familiar knot in your stomach and the voice saying "you're so selfish." What if that guilt isn't even yours? 

I unpack how survival scripts from our ancestors, childhood messages about being "low maintenance," and the strong Black woman stereotype create the perfect storm of people-pleasing. 

Learn to distinguish between your authentic voice and inherited programming, understand the difference between caring and caretaking, and discover practical steps to reclaim your right to disappoint people without carrying their emotions.

Key Takeaways:

• The Guilt Isn't Yours: That critical voice telling you you're selfish for having boundaries isn't your authentic self—it's an inherited script from survival patterns passed down through generations, childhood conditioning about being "good," and cultural stereotypes about Black women always being available.

• Your Body Knows the Difference: Your authentic voice feels expansive in your body—shoulders drop, chest opens, you can breathe deeply. External scripts create knots in your stomach, tension in your shoulders, and restricted breathing. Use these physical cues to identify which voice is speaking.

• Caring vs. Caretaking: Caring says "I love you and I hope you figure that out." Caretaking says "I love you and I will sacrifice myself to give you what you need." Your "no" is actually true love—it gives people space to support themselves while preserving your energy for what you truly want to pour into.

Episode Challenge: The Guilt Audit

Step 1: Notice when guilt shows up this week without judgment. Just observe and acknowledge it.

Step 2: Ask yourself three questions:

  • Whose voice is this? (Mom, grandmother, cultural messaging?)
  • What am I afraid will happen if I don't fix this person's disappointment?
  • What would I choose if I trusted that I could handle their reaction?

Step 3: Choose one small boundary to maintain this week, even while feeling guilty. Maybe it's not responding to texts immediately, saying "let me think about it" instead of automatic yes, or not volunteering for something you don't want to do.

This episode marks a major shift from education to implementation. I challenge you to move beyond the "someday" mentality and start treating pleasure as a daily practice, not a crash diet approach.

If you're tired of consuming self-care content without seeing real change in your life, this episode is your wake-up call and roadmap to start creating the pleasurable life you deserve.

Key Takeaways:

• From Consumer to Creator: Listening to every episode and saving quotes won't change your life—implementation will. The difference between women who consume content and women who act is that they live completely different lives.

• Small, Sustainable Shifts Over Grand Gestures: You don't need to overhaul your entire life. Start with one small thing, like taking bathroom breaks when you need them, actually tasting your morning coffee, or saying no to one draining commitment this week.

• Pleasure as Daily Practice: Stop treating pleasure like a "someday thing" and start incorporating small moments of happiness, satisfaction, and enjoyment into your ordinary, everyday life—because it's possible and we need it now more than ever.

In this episode of "Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman," I discuss the essential practice of prioritizing pleasure even during difficult times.

I deliver a powerful message about how Black women can balance staying informed about world events while honoring their need for rest, pleasure, and peace.

  • Both/And Thinking: You can hold space for both staying informed about societal struggles and prioritizing your personal joy and peace—it doesn't have to be either/or.
  • Ancestral Wisdom: Our ancestors found ways to experience joy even during unimaginable hardships; by embracing pleasure, we continue their legacy of resistance.

In this episode, I explore the challenges many high-achieving women face with receiving help, support, and care from others. I examine why type A personalities, perfectionists, and overachievers often resist receiving and how this resistance impacts relationships, self-care, and overall joy. 

Tune in as we discover practical ways to embrace receiving without guilt, create deeper connections, and find greater pleasure in everyday life. If you're someone who's always giving but struggles to accept help in return, this episode offers valuable insights to transform your approach.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Perfection Trap: Many high achievers struggle to receive because they're meticulous about how things should be done, believing there's only one "right way" (their way).
  • Cultural and Social Influences: Black women in particular have been raised with a strong sense of responsibility to hold everything together, making it difficult to prioritize their own needs.
  • Relationship Impact: Constantly giving without receiving creates imbalance in relationships, leading to tension, misunderstanding, and preventing deeper connections.
  • Blocking Others' Blessings: When we refuse help or gifts, we prevent others from experiencing the joy of giving and potentially block what was meant for us.
  • Practical Steps: Start small by genuinely accepting compliments with a simple "thank you," asking for help, and creating guilt-free space for self-care.

In this episode, I explore the challenges many high-achieving women face with receiving help, support, and care from others. I examine why type A personalities, perfectionists, and overachievers often resist receiving and how this resistance impacts relationships, self-care, and overall joy. 

Tune in as we discover practical ways to embrace receiving without guilt, create deeper connections, and find greater pleasure in everyday life. If you're someone who's always giving but struggles to accept help in return, this episode offers valuable insights to transform your approach.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Perfection Trap: Many high achievers struggle to receive because they're meticulous about how things should be done, believing there's only one "right way" (their way).
  • Cultural and Social Influences: Black women in particular have been raised with a strong sense of responsibility to hold everything together, making it difficult to prioritize their own needs.
  • Relationship Impact: Constantly giving without receiving creates imbalance in relationships, leading to tension, misunderstanding, and preventing deeper connections.
  • Blocking Others' Blessings: When we refuse help or gifts, we prevent others from experiencing the joy of giving and potentially block what was meant for us.
  • Practical Steps: Start small by genuinely accepting compliments with a simple "thank you," asking for help, and creating guilt-free space for self-care.

]]>Episode Summary:

Welcome to the first episode of 2025! In this solo episode, I share a powerful message to set the tone for your year with ease, pleasure, and self-care. Black women are often taught to prioritize productivity over their own well-being, but this year, we're flipping the script. Let's unlearn those harmful patterns together and embrace a life filled with alignment and joy.

I’ll walk you through three actionable steps to help you reclaim your energy, prioritize yourself, and infuse your days with fun and rest. If you’ve been feeling burnt out or stuck, this episode is exactly what you need to shift into a more pleasurable, intentional year.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  1. Why minding your business is the ultimate form of self-care and how to set boundaries with energy-draining people and situations.
  2. The importance of scheduling time for yourself and actionable ideas to make fun and rest a priority.
  3. How to reconnect with your desires and create a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mind Your Business: Protect your mental energy by limiting your involvement in gossip, drama, and other people’s problems. Set clear boundaries and turn inward to focus on your growth and healing.
  • Schedule Time for Yourself: Don’t leave your downtime to chance. Block out non-negotiable rest days, spa visits, solo dates, and more on your calendar now.

In this episode, we dive into the concept of "having it all" and challenge the societal expectations that often dictate what success and fulfillment should look like—especially for Black women. 

I share my journey of redefining what it means to truly "have it all," exploring how our desires, beliefs, and personal definitions shape our paths to joy and pleasure.  

Whether you're a high-achieving, Type-A perfectionist or someone just beginning to question what fulfillment means for you, this episode will help you start rethinking and reclaiming your own narrative.  

Stay tuned until the end for a special sneak peek of *Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman XXX*!  

Key Takeaways:

1. Question the “Can’t Have It All” Myth: Natasha challenges listeners to ask why they’ve accepted limits placed by others and to take back control of defining their desires.  

2. Shift the Focus to You: "Having it all" isn’t about material success for everyone. Natasha shares how her priorities shifted from external markers of success to internal peace, balance, and connection.  

3. Uncover What You Truly Want: Through practices like journaling, meditation, and dance, Natasha found clarity on her desires and shares how you can, too.  

4. It’s Okay for Desires to Evolve: Your vision of “having it all” can—and should—change as you grow. Stay curious and flexible as you uncover new aspirations.  

5. Life Isn’t Either-Or: Why settle for just one flavor of ice cream when you can try them all? Natasha encourages embracing abundance in all its forms.

In this episode, we delve into the powerful and often challenging process of releasing old narratives and stories that no longer serve us. 

For Black women, especially those with perfectionist tendencies, there's often a cycle of overthinking and repeating the same concerns without moving forward. 

I break down how these stagnant stories can block us from fully embracing pleasure and reclaiming our mental and emotional energy. 

Listen in as I reflect on my personal journey of letting go and offer practical advice on choosing action over repetitive thought. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck or caught in a loop, this episode will empower you to make a conscious decision, freeing up your energy for what truly matters. 

Key Takeaways:

- The Weight of Unresolved Issues: Natasha discusses how dwelling on the same issues keeps us stuck in cycles of indecision and frustration, limiting our pleasure and peace.

- Recognizing When You’re Just “Talking About It”: Learn how to identify when you’re merely venting rather than moving toward resolution, and why it’s essential to let go or take actionable steps.

- Steps to Release Mental Clutter: Discover practical steps Natasha uses to release mental “gray clouds,” allowing for a clearer, more intentional path forward.

- The Power of Making a Decision: Natasha shares the freedom that comes from deciding to act or letting go, and how this shift can help you show up more fully in all areas of life.

Listen Now:

Curious about how freeing your mind from repetitive, unresolved issues could open up new possibilities for pleasure and satisfaction in your life? Hit play to learn how a decision, big or small, can make a world of difference in releasing stagnant energy and creating space for joy.

In today’s episode, I dive into what it means to create space in your life for new experiences, pleasure, and peace. 

Have you ever felt so overloaded with responsibilities, tasks, and lingering emotions that you can't fully receive what you want and need? 

Just like a computer that needs space to function, our minds and lives require room for us to welcome joy and ease. I share my own recent experience with a “full” computer as a metaphor for our internal and emotional lives, exploring how we can make space for what truly serves us.

Key Takeaways:

1. Understand Why You’re Full: Acknowledge the mental, emotional, and physical "files" you've accumulated and ask if they still serve you.

2. Identify Signs of Overload: Notice when you’re feeling overwhelmed or when productivity feels forced rather than fulfilling.

3. Clear Out What You Don’t Need: Whether it’s obligations, emotions, or objects, start removing what's no longer aligned with who you are.

4. Embrace New Space with Courage: Step into your next chapter with courage and trust that, despite the discomfort, you’re creating room for something better.

In this episode, we dive deep into the societal pressure of constant productivity, especially for Black women. 

We unpack how generational trauma and ancestral survival needs have led to a false narrative that our worth is tied to how much we can produce.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or simply curious about shifting your mindset on productivity, this episode is for you.

- Rest as a Tool for Productivity: Discover why rest is not just a luxury but a necessity. Natasha shares how incorporating intentional rest improves creativity, well-being, and overall productivity.
