We recently had the chance to connect with Black Women Healing and have shared our conversation below.
Black Women , a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: Have you ever been glad you didn’t act fast?
Yes, we’ve definitely been glad we didn’t act fast — especially when it came to making important decisions around the podcast. In the early stages, there was a lot of excitement and a temptation to move quickly — to jump on every opportunity, say yes to every guest, or even shift directions just to keep up with what others were doing.
But over time, we learned the value of slowing down and being intentional. Taking our time allowed us to check in with each other and ask: Does this align with our purpose? Does this feel authentic to the healing space we’re trying to hold for Black women? That pause helped us stay grounded in our mission.
By not rushing, we gave the podcast room to grow in its own time. We were able to build real connections, create meaningful conversations, and stay aligned with the kind of impact we wanted to have. That patience has made the podcast stronger — and more rooted in community and care.
So for us, not acting fast has actually been part of the healing. It’s given us space to reflect, to grow with intention, and to make decisions that feel right — not just urgent.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
We’re the hosts of the Black Women Healing Podcast, a space dedicated to nurturing the emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness of Black women. Our podcast is more than just conversations — it’s a healing journey and a community where authentic stories are shared, vulnerabilities are honored, and empowerment grows.
What makes our podcast special is our deep commitment to creating a safe and sacred space for Black women to explore healing in all its forms. We center lived experiences, ancestral wisdom, and practical tools, blending heart and mind to support growth and resilience. We believe healing is not linear, and we show up with honesty, compassion, and intentionality every episode.
Beyond the podcast, we’re passionate about amplifying voices that are often unheard, breaking down stigma around mental health, and building a movement that honors the fullness of Black womanhood.
Right now, we’re focused on expanding our reach, inviting more guests who inspire healing, and creating resources that continue the work beyond the mic. Our hope is that anyone who listens feels seen, supported, and empowered to take their own healing journey with courage and grace.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
Our earliest memory of feeling powerful actually ties back to our voices. Growing up, so many of us were taught to shrink ourselves or to stay quiet in certain spaces. But we each had moments when we spoke up — whether it was sharing our truth in a classroom, standing up for a friend, or using our creativity to express ourselves — and realized that our voices carried weight.
When we started the Black Women Healing Podcast, that feeling came back in an even bigger way. Sitting down with other Black women, holding space for their stories, and realizing the impact those conversations were having on our listeners gave us a deep sense of power. Not power in a controlling way, but in the sense of purpose — the power to connect, to heal, and to create something bigger than ourselves.
That’s been one of the most beautiful lessons of this journey: real power comes from authenticity, vulnerability, and community.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
When we first thought about adding a visual component to the Black Women Healing Podcast, we hesitated because it brought up a whole new level of vulnerability. It’s one thing to share your voice behind the mic, but showing up on camera meant confronting fears around how we look, how we present ourselves, and whether we’d be judged. That fear of being seen imperfectly held us back for a while.
But ultimately, we realized that waiting for perfection was just another way of avoiding starting. So we leaned into the discomfort, embraced the messiness, and decided that starting — even if it wasn’t perfect — was more powerful than any fear.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
An important truth we hold — but that many people don’t always agree with — is that healing isn’t a one-time event or a quick fix; it’s a daily practice. So often, healing is framed as something you achieve and then move on from, like a destination. But for us, healing is ongoing. It’s showing up for ourselves every day, even when it’s hard, even when progress feels slow or invisible.
That daily commitment means making space for reflection, self-care, boundaries, and sometimes, discomfort — because growth rarely happens in comfort zones. Not everyone sees it this way. Some expect healing to be linear, or that you should “be healed” by a certain point. But we believe that healing is a lifelong journey, especially for Black women carrying generations of pain and resilience.
Embracing healing as a daily practice has been transformative for us and our community. It’s about reclaiming power in the small, consistent moments, and finding freedom in the process — even when it’s messy.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What will you regret not doing?
What we would regret the most is not starting the podcast when we first felt the call to do it. There was definitely hesitation — the fear of not being ready, not knowing if people would listen, or worrying if we had something valuable to say. But we knew deep down that if we let those fears stop us, we’d always wonder, “What if?”
Not starting would mean missing the chance to create a healing space for Black women, to share stories that often go unheard, and to build a community rooted in honesty and empowerment. That regret — of staying stuck in doubt instead of stepping into purpose — would weigh heavily on us.
Starting Black Women Healing Podcast has been a reminder that sometimes the biggest regrets come from what we don’t do, not what we try.
