Have you ever found yourself asking,
“Why do I keep doing this?”
Maybe it’s over-giving.
Maybe it’s people-pleasing.
Maybe it’s always feeling responsible for everyone else.
Maybe it’s pushing through even when you’re exhausted.
As Black women, many of us learned ways of being that helped us navigate life, relationships, work, family expectations, and difficult circumstances.
These patterns often served a purpose.
They helped us cope.
They helped us survive.
They helped us get through.
But sometimes there comes a point when we begin to notice that what once protected us may now be contributing to our exhaustion, overwhelm, or disconnection from ourselves.
One of the things I love about flower essences is that they can help bring awareness to these patterns with gentleness and compassion.
Not so we can judge ourselves.
But so we can begin to choose differently.
This is one of the reasons I created Rooted & Resourced—a flower essence healing container for Black women navigating collective stress, overwhelm, and intense times.
What is one pattern you’ve become more aware of recently?
