No matter how long you do this work, there’s always an inner voice trying to convince you that you’re not qualified or that you have “too many issues” to help anyone else.

To anyone who struggles with this, please know that the very things that you THINK disqualify you for this work are the EXACT things that qualify you. 💯

Im still blown away by this opportunity. Ya’ll have no idea how much this truly means to me. I’m still giggling and smiling. The Lord is indeed faithful.🙏🏾💙

Too often we tend to focus on what’s wrong rather than what’s right. I’m guilty too because I’m human. But I’ll admit that over the years I have become more cognizant of no longer downplaying or minimizing my wins to make other people feel comfortable. I am determined that my latter shall be greater! I’ve had my share of pain in which the lessons I’ve learned now serve as a compass for my life. Be just as loud about your wins as you are with your struggles! Walk in your joy today.🧡

Recently I was blessed to sit down with the one and only Tabitha Brown and she shared her story of hiding and code-switching which ultimately led to her decision to be her authentic self that many of us have grown to know and love.

Tab’s journey has inspired many of us. If you’ve ever been told you’re too much, or that your personality was too big or if you’ve been judged for who you love, tap into this intimate conversation where we talked about finding your authentic self, having the courage to be you, processing pain, disappointment, and grief as well as how to reclaim your life and begin to live on your own terms.

Also, if Tab has impacted your life in any way, please share below because it’s a blessing to receive your flowers while you can still smell them.🌷🌻🌹

SHE’S HERE!!!!! Tabitha Brown is officially on the Healing Conversations with Carla podcast!

This conversation is about more than being yourself. It’s about what happens when you FINALLY stop shrinking, performing, and editing yourself for acceptance.

I sat down with Auntie Tab for an honest, joyful, and powerful conversation about authenticity, identity, self-trust, people-pleasing, healing, and the freedom that comes with embracing who you truly are.

If you’ve ever had to ask yourself, “Am I being me or who I learned I needed to be?” — press play.

Fear has a way of making everything feel urgent. It can convince you that the worst is coming, that you need to have every answer right now, or that you are powerless in the face of what is happening around you.

But fear doesn’t have to lead you. You can acknowledge the uncertainty in the world, the financial pressure, the things happening in your relationships, and the concerns you carry without allowing them to consume your mind.

A sound mind doesn’t mean you never feel afraid. You can pause, regulate yourself, pray, gather the facts, and respond from a grounded place instead of reacting from panic. You may not be able to control what is happening around you, but you can choose what you allow to govern you within.🌱💚
