Understanding the Four Types of Intimacy and How They Impact Your Health
7 februari 2023 · 29 min
It’s February, and around here that means celebrating Black History Month, Aquarius season, and (at least in this episode) very reluctantly love. Lees meer
If you’ve been listening to Balanced Black Girl for a while, you know I loathe talking about modern dating and the way relationships are discussed online right now. However, we can’t talk about living a healthy lifestyle without talking about building and maintaining healthy relationships.
Join me in this safe container, free from discussions about who’s fixing whose plate, to explore the connections between relationships and our wellbeing.
I also talk about…
The hurtful marketing strategy that relationship content thrives on
Recognizing connection as a skill
Why relationships are so important to happy, healthy lives
Emotional intimacy, physical intimacy, mental intimacy, and spiritual intimacy
The value in not being defensive to questioning
Resources:
Physical Contact and Loneliness: Being Touched Reduces Perceptions of Loneliness
Spiritual Intimacy: Talking as "Soul Mates"
Strengthen relationships for longer, healthier life

31 januari 2023 · 1 uur 11 min
It seems like there’s always something new to distract us and keep our attention spans ever-shrinking. So today, we’re wrapping up our Reframing the Reset series by talking with Dr. Tara Zinnamon about de-commoditizing our attention spans to regain agency and awareness of where our attention is going. Lees meer
Dr. Tara Zinnamon is a neuroscientist, yoga, breathwork, and meditation teacher who has a unique perspective as she balances her knowledge of neuroscience and yoga in her personal and teaching practices. If you can’t visit her studio, you can find her classes on Open where she hosts a range of yoga classes.
We Also Talk About…
The four types of attention
The damage overworking and overextending ourselves can do to our attention
Capitalism’s impact on our ability to focus on ourselves
Leaning into adjustable practices and goals that flow with your phases of life
Why we start the year in January (hint: like most things, it’s made up)
The benefits of even just a few minutes of meditation and breath work
Being “woo” adjacent

Healing Through Rest: Creating Balance for Your Nervous System [Solo Episode]
28 juni 2022 · 32 min
Have you ever struggled to truly feel rested no matter how much sleep or downtime you get? If so, this episode is for you. Lees meer
There’s a lot of messaging encouraging us to rest and be soft. But what should we do if we’re trying to take it easy, but still don’t feel rested? What even is rest? I’m closing out our Modalities of Healing series with a solo episode about how we can heal through rest, and what our minds and bodies need to feel rested (in addition to adequate sleep).
With so much happening in the world, it can be natural to have a “tired but wired” feeling when we’re constantly on alert. This episode explores what rest is on a physiological level, and shares techniques we can use to start feeling more rested to support our healing.
I also talk about…
Your “fight or flight” and “rest and digest” systems, and how they work together.
Habits and techniques to help you feel more rested.
How to create better mind-body synergy.
Defining what it means to be “soft” for yourself.
The importance of taking breaks when needed.

Healing Through Nature with Toyin Ajayi of Outdoorsy Black Women
21 juni 2022 · 1 uur 4 min
Nature is not a nice to have, it really is a must-have for physical health and longevity. Studies show that being in nature reduces feelings of isolation and promotes calm. For this episode, we are joined by Toyin Ajayi, the founder of Outdoorsy Black Women, which is a community for Black women to connect, celebrate, and open our minds to an outdoorsy lifestyle. Toyin is an entrepreneur, community builder, and creative who is helping Black women connect with nature and one another through her safe space that embodies positivity, celebration, and resources. Lees meer
Toyin explains how it is possible to heal through our relationship with nature, and your idea of healing can shift over time. And nature doesn’t have to mean going in the woods. It can mean having plants. It can be opening a window, it can be putting your feet in the sand. Whatever makes sense for you.
We Also Talk About…
How connecting with nature can be imperative to self-care practices
Why we must be open to spending time outdoors and being in nature
How to explore nature and feel safe and connected doing so
What are important wellness practices of being outdoors
Why having access is a privilege and should not be taken for granted

Healing Through Community: Why You Don’t Need to Be Fully Healed to Be Loved [Solo Episode]
14 juni 2022 · 35 min
For many of us, hurt oftentimes happens in relationship to other people. Therefore, healing needs to happen in community as well. For the halfway point of our healing series, I’m exploring a statement that was introduced to us in last week’s episode — that healing often happens in community. Lees meer
In this solo episode, I’m examining why being in community is such a significant, effective healing modality, why we don’t need to be perfectly healed to be loved, and ways we can cultivate healing in our immediate and broader communities.
I also talk about…
The Summer Solstice Journaling Reset, a 5-day journaling challenge.
Why healing is not a prerequisite for receiving love or support.
How being in a supportive community can be incredibly therapeutic.
Why being in community is an effective healing modality.
Ways we can cultivate healing in our relationships and communities.

How to Nurture Your Creativity Find Inspiration with Cristina Martinez
17 mei 2022 · 48 min
This week we’re continuing our exploration of the intersection of wellness and creativity. According to research, creative expression can support feelings of motivation and overall well-being. However, many people have aversions to creativity due to bias, perfectionism, and fear of failure or not creating a perfect result. Lees meer
To wrap up our series on New Life and Creativity we’re talking to our guest Cristina Martinez about how she’s found healing through creativity, and how creativity has influenced her career and relationships.
Cristina Martinez is a contemporary visual artist based in Seattle, Washington. Her career started in fashion school before she explored self-expression through painting. Cristina’s work is rooted in telling the often-overlooked stories of Black and Brown people, encouraging them to water themselves to bloom and grow in this journey called life.

How our relationship with creativity can evolve over time.
Ways to draw inspiration when you need it most.

How Creativity Impacts Your Health + Overcoming Perfectionism with AJ Clarke of Soul Rehab
10 mei 2022 · 1 uur 1 min
Have you ever referred to yourself as a perfectionist? Have you ever felt like perfectionism holds you back from expressing yourself creatively? I know I can relate to both. Lees meer
The truth is, creativity is not a gift that only a select few have. It's a skill we can all cultivate. And the outcome of creative expression isn’t where the magic is – it’s the act of being creative itself. That’s because creativity is a vital part of health and well-being that isn’t talked about nearly enough. According to research, healthy creative expression is linked to better mental and physical well-being outcomes including higher levels of optimism and improved immune response. But for perfectionists, it can be hard to let go and let ourselves be students.
Our guest today is AJ Clarke, and our conversation is so special. AJ is a creative marketing agency owner, wife, and creative director behind Soul Rehab. She’s had an eye-opening journey learning how to release feelings of perfectionism and the pressure to over-achieve to pursue a creative career.
In addition to her work as a marketer, she realized that the “self-love” space was full of well-intentioned but surface-level endeavors that didn’t tell you how to overcome, but that just told you that you should. Soul Rehab is birthed from the most vulnerable of spaces – the fiery place of healing.
We Also Talk About…
How creativity impacts your health.
Ways you can incorporate more creativity into your life.
Learning how to detach creative expression from the final product.
Advice for navigating perfectionism when it feels unsafe to not overachieve.
Building self-care communities that are rooted in vulnerability.
