The Lie We Carry: Why Rest Alone Isn't Healing Us

A Conversation with Brandi Williams, INHC

Many Black women know they need rest. Yet even after slowing down, taking a break, or stepping away, many still find themselves carrying stress, anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, and chronic overextension. Why?

Join us for a powerful conversation with Brandi Williams, founder of SoulMed Holistic Health Collaborative, as we explore the unconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and survival strategies that often shape how Black women experience rest, healing, and wellbeing.

Together, we'll discuss how internalized expectations, inherited narratives, and chronic stress patterns influence our behaviors and decision-making. We'll also explore practical tools for emotional regulation, self-awareness, nervous system support, and the role of micro joy in everyday healing.
