Episode Summary

In this episode of Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman, we explore what happens when you've spent so long achieving, performing, and being logical that you've completely lost touch with what you actually desire.

I'm opening Season 7 with my own story — the hobbies I tried this summer, the struggle I didn't expect, and what it taught me about the gap between pursuing goals and following desire. If you've looked at your life on paper and thought "nothing is wrong, but something is missing" — this one is for you.

What You'll Walk Away With

→ Why creativity and play feel so uncomfortable when your whole identity is built around being excellent — and why that makes complete sense

→ A reflection to sit with: What did you stop wanting because wanting felt dangerous?

→ Permission to start the season exactly where you are — confused, curious, and ready to remember
