info_outlineWhat's up Beautiful! Welcome to another enriching episode of our Self-Care Summer Series on the "What She Grows Through" podcast. Today, we're blessed to have the fashion designer and entrepreneur, Passion, sharing her inspiring journey of self-discovery and growth.
Passion is a testament to resilience. Her years in the challenging yet rewarding world of entrepreneurship and fashion have gifted her with a multitude of experiences. Each triumph and hurdle nudged her on a profound journey inward, guiding her to peel back layers of societal labels and discover her true self. Together, we explore the importance of self-reflection and the illuminating power of personal devotionals on our journey to self-discovery.
As we dive deeper into the episode, we address the pivotal topics of self-care, mental health, and resilience among Black women. We unpack the transformative power of vulnerability and the necessity of setting firm boundaries to protect our energy. We discuss the realities of stress, anxiety, and burnout, and how Passion has made significant strides in integrating self-care into her daily routine.
Fear is another significant theme we tackle - fear of success, being seen, fear of failure, and how resilience, persistence, and accountability can transform these fears into stepping stones to success.
In the later part of the episode, we embark on a profound exploration of the journey towards growth and self-reflection. We celebrate the transformative power of journaling and the significance of creating safe spaces, both for ourselves and our communities. As we share our stories, we unlearn negative societal teachings and foster understanding.
As we usher in the summer season, our conversation reiterates the importance of self-nourishment, building meaningful connections, and practicing self-care. My connection with Passion is an invitation for you, Beautiful, to join us on this journey of introspection, growth, and self-actualization.
Remember, it's not just about going through life, it's about growing through it. Let's do it together. Enjoy the episode!
