Some books inform you. Others transform you.

The difference is whether the author understands the weight you carry, the cycles you’re breaking, and the healing that looks different when it accounts for your lived experience.

These books don’t just tell Black stories.

They validate feelings you thought you had to keep quiet and let you see patterns you’re ready to release.

Happy Black History Month!

Do you actually want to, or do you just feel obliged to? 🤔

When you’ve been trained to say “yes” all your life, the line between willingness and obligation blurs so easily. ✏️

So while it can feel like you’re “happy” to do something, there can be a knot in your stomach when you listen closely. 🔍

If this is a familiar scenario, above are some things you can try to more clearly recognize the difference between willingness and obligation. ☝️

Remember that your “yes’s” deserve to be given to people and plans your heart is actually into, not just because you feel forced to. 😉

Do we really NOT see color in our homes?
Because sometimes, behavior can tell otherwise.

Lighter skin is almost always viewed as a proxy for innocence and darker skin as a sign of “toughness.” With this belief, children are robbed of their right to be vulnerable.

Real change is having this uncomfortable realization that you might be softer on one child because their features align more closely with a standard you were taught to admire.

The real world is hard enough; the home should be the one place where complexion doesn’t determine the amount of protection, patience, or praise our children receive.

Who else grew up believing that loving your family meant accepting every single thing they do, even when it hurts?

You see, you can love your family and still decide that their “normal” is no longer healthy for you.

It may look like:
✨ Deciding which phone calls you have the capacity to answer and which ones can go to voicemail.
✨ Choosing not to participate in the same arguments that have been happening for twenty years.
✨ Creating physical or emotional distance so you can unlearn behaviors you didn’t even realize you picked up.

You can be grateful for the foundation your family provided while acknowledging that the house they built has some rooms you can no longer live in.

Being a “strong” parent is a trap.

And we’re tired of seeing parents fall for it.

No, you’re not failing your kids if you can’t nor didn’t do every single thing for them.

Trying to play every role for them could result in us losing ourselves in the process.

We have to stop treating “help” like it’s a dirty word or a last resort for when we’re at a breaking point. Building a village is also about:

🍎 Showing your kids that love comes in many different forms and voices.

🛑 Teaching them that it’s okay to have needs and ask for support.

🔋 Giving yourself the actual space to be a parent, not just a task manager.

⛓️ Breaking the cycle of “keeping it in the house” that has kept us isolated for generations.

I’m curious, what does your support system actually look like right now? If you could share it with us in the comments!

We have to stop setting the bar that low for our kids.

Breaking the cycle means choosing to go in the direction that also serves our children’s future by:

✨ Keeping the village mentality and the way we show up for our community.
✨ Keeping the high standards and the pride in our excellence.
💨 Letting go of using fear to “break” a child’s spirit before the world does.
💨 Letting go of the idea that a child’s opinion is a sign of disrespect.

It’s time we stop raising children who have to spend their entire adulthood recovering from their upbringing.

We aren’t just protecting them from the world anymore; we’re making sure they never have to protect themselves from us. ❤️‍🩹

As a modern parent, what are some of the parenting beliefs you are keeping and letting go of? Please share it with us in the comments.

There’s a common misconception that choosing empathy means we have to retire our authority, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The shift happens when we move from “because I said so” to “here is why this limit exists.”

Having strict rules in place is teaching our kids to act respectfully and if applicable, receive consequences.

We can be incredibly firm about the rule while helping them regulate themselves.

The goal isn’t for us to raise a child who is “obedient” out of fear, but one who understands the value of cooperation.

We can hold the line and hold their hand at the same time. 

That’s where the real work happens, not in the absence of rules, but in the clarity and respect we put behind them.

“Being strong” is making us stuck.

We’ve been told that as long as we’re still moving, we aren’t burnt out, but how long can “ just getting through the day” bring us?

We’re likely ignoring the way our kindness is turning into irritability and how our passion has been replaced by a “just get it over with” attitude.

The truth is, burnout isn’t a wall we hit all at once; it’s a slow fade of who we are.

We feel like we’re failing because things that used to be easy now feel like a chore, but our systems are just overwhelmed from carrying the weight of everyone else’s expectations.

It’s time to stop pushing our well-being to the bottom of the to-do list.

Real connection requires the courage to be clear and honest about what you need, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Learning to communicate openly means being intentional with your words rather than letting your emotions do the talking for you. Communicating can be hard; even we admit that. This is why it’s important that we learn how to thread it right: when to pause, and when to speak.

Being clear isn’t being “difficult”; it’s being respectful of yourself, the person you’re talking to, and the relationship itself.

Which one do you find harder: being honest about your needs or knowing when to take a pause? Let’s talk about it in the comments. 👇🏿

We often mistake our inability to carry everything as a personal flaw.

When life feels like too much, we tend to look inward and ask, ‘What is wrong with me?

We assume we’re failing because we’re tired, when the reality is simply that sometimes, we are carrying a volume of stress that was never meant for one person.

It’s okay to acknowledge that the weight is real, and it’s okay to need a hand to help carry it.

Drop a ‘☁️’ in the comments if you’re giving yourself permission to put the weight down today. Let’s normalize not having it all together.

What if we told you that there’s a healthier way to vent?

We’ve all been there, holding onto big, painful emotions until we feel like we’re going to burst, or just blurting things out online only to regret it five minutes later.

When experiencing uncomfortable emotions, it’s important to learn how to channel that energy productively.

Here’s where healthy emotional management comes in. It’s not about being perfectly calm, it’s about respecting yourself and others enough to communicate clearly what you need.

The goal is to shift from being reactive to being responsive.

Taking a moment to figure out what you truly need: maybe it’s space, or a clearer explanation, is the key.

It’s how you keep your own peace and avoid those regrettable blow-ups later on.

A hard pill to swallow: Worrying about the same problem over and over isn’t going to help solve it.

We feel the initial discomfort or disappointment when the problem happens, then we force ourselves to relieve it, analyze it, and suffer through the what-ifs again and again.

We know how difficult it is to “stop.” When anxiety is whispering (or shouting) in our ears, overthinking feels like a necessary shield or a form of intense preparation. It feels as if we just worry hard enough, we get to catch the flaw or predict the outcome.

Of course, it’s nearly impossible not to worry again. But it’s important to notice when the worry shifts from helpful planning to inflicting unnecessary pain on ourselves.
