An Espresso Talk on How to Feel Good Today
Episode 26
Thursday, 20 November, 2025
Join me on the Front Porch! Today, we slow down together and learn a simple, powerful practice for rewiring the mind toward what nourishes us. Using four steps — seeing the good, naming the good, staying with the good, and claiming the good — we explore how neuroplasticity becomes a tool of healing, resilience, and liberation for Black folks living in predominantly white spaces. With Auntie Octavia by our side and sweet tea in hand, we talk about why our brains have been trained to scan for danger, why that's not a flaw but a survival skill, and how learning to gather the good can shift our health, our joy, our relationships, and even our generational inheritance. This episode is soft, honest, and deeply ancestral — a moment to breathe, reset, and remember that joy is our birthright. You ain't imagining this. Ama-Robin's Book Selection: Every Day Spirit: A Daybook of Wisdom, Joy, and Peace by Mary Davis Affirmations: "My ancestors wanted this for me." "This goodness belongs to all of us." "Joy is my resistance." "I'm learning to harvest what's mine."
