  • Get out of the Mud: Stuck vs Stillness
    Jun 17 2025

    Are you really resting… or just stuck? In this season opener, I’m reflecting on the difference between intentional stillness and fear-based stuckness. We’re kicking off Season 2 with clarity, courage, and a little softness too.

    This episode is for you if you’ve been:

    • Second-guessing your next step

    • Calling it “stillness” but feeling anxious underneath

    • Ready to move with intention, not pressure

    We’ll walk through the signs, share some brave reframes, and end with a Brown Heart moment to help you pause without punishment.


    My favorite things this week:

  • From Brave Beginnings to Bold Futures: Wrapping Season 1 with Gratitude
    Apr 23 2025

    Hey y’all, welcome to the Season 1 finale of the Brown Heart Podcast! I’m Samantha Edu, and today we’re celebrating 20 episodes of bravery, creativity, consistency, and community.

    This season has been a journey of planting seeds, showing up imperfectly but intentionally, and creating a space where we can be brave together.


    In this episode, I’m reflecting on how far we’ve come—and where we’re headed. Season 2 is already in the works, and I’m excited for what’s next: more conversations, deeper reflections, and a community that continues to grow in purpose and courage.


    • Celebrating the wins, lessons, and growth from Season 1.

    • The power of consistency over perfection.

    • How the Brown Heart community became a brave space.

    • What’s coming in Season 2:

      • The One Brave Thing a Week Challenge returns in May.

      • Season 2 launches in June with new guests, fresh topics, and more ways to help your vessel overflow.

  • Stop Carrying Stories That Aren’t Yours (ft. Dr. Jeanette Mayse)
    Apr 8 2025

    In this soulful episode, I sit down with a special guest, Dr. Jeanette Mayse, to share the story behind Brown Heart Wellness and talk about the limiting narratives that often keep us stuck—perfectionism, scarcity, the Strong Black Woman trope, and imposter syndrome. Together, we reflect on how these stories show up in our lives and how we can begin to release them.

    As we prepare for Q2, this episode is a reminder to pause, reflect, and get clear on what beliefs you need to leave behind to move forward.

    Takeaways:

    • The true story behind the Brown Heart Wellness movement

    • How internalized narratives can quietly control our lives

    • How to name, challenge, and rewrite the stories holding you back

    • Why community is essential to doing brave work

    Brown Heart Affirmation:
    "I release the stories that no longer belong to me. I am the author of my own narrative."
