In this Uno Reverse episode of Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman, I dive into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)—also known as winter blues or winter depression. As the time changes and daylight becomes scarce, many high-achieving Black women experience symptoms they may not even recognize as depression. I share my personal experience with SAD, explain how it shows up differently for Type-A personalities, and offer practical strategies to manage symptoms throughout the darker months. If you've been feeling off as the seasons change, this episode will help you recognize what's happening and give you tools to navigate it with more ease.Key Takeaways:SAD is real and affects us differently: Seasonal Affective Disorder is a form of depression that occurs during specific times of the year (typically fall/winter). Symptoms include sadness, fatigue, changes in appetite, difficulty concentrating, lack of motivation, and irritability.Depression doesn't look the same for everyone: For high-achieving Black women, SAD might manifest as overcompensation, overworking, boundary violations, and functional depression—where you appear fine on the outside but feel heavy inside.Practical tools can help: Light therapy, regular exercise (especially outdoors when possible), maintaining a healthy diet, mindfulness practices like meditation and yoga, and seeking professional support are all effective strategies for managing winter blues.Blog Posts:Want to dive deeper into related topics?

In this transformative episode of Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman, I tackle the impossible double bind that keeps high-achieving women trapped between exhaustion and guilt.You know you need rest, but every time you try to prioritize yourself, that familiar voice whispers "you're being selfish." I break down why self-care feels like betrayal, how rest became rebellion, and most importantly—how to finally give yourself permission to matter without the emotional hangover.Discover the historical roots of why rest feels dangerous, learn to distinguish between self-care and selfishness, and get practical tools to break the martyrdom cycle that's keeping you exhausted and resentful.Key Takeaways:The Double Bind Exposed: You're expected to be infinitely giving but never needy—a setup that keeps you trapped between exhaustion and guilt. This impossible standard is rooted in cultural myths that Black women are naturally stronger and need less, making self-care feel indulgent rather than essential.Rest as Revolution: Your choice to rest is actually an act of reclaiming autonomy that may trigger your nervous system because historically, your ancestors' rest was controlled by others. When you rest without "earning" it, you're breaking generational patterns of exploitation.Self-Preservation, Not Selfishness: Self-care isn't about bubble baths and face masks—it's about sustainable living. When you take care of yourself, you model healthy boundaries and give from overflow instead of depletion, which actually serves everyone around you better.Episode Challenge: The "Rest Without Guilt" PracticeStep 1: Choose one form of rest that currently triggers guilt (saying no to unwanted plans, taking an "unearned" nap, not checking work emails after hours).Step 2: Write yourself a literal permission slip: "I, [your name], give myself permission to [rest activity] without guilt because my wellbeing matters and this choice serves my highest good and the people I love."Step 3: When guilt shows up, ask yourself:Am I confusing self-care with selfishness because I've been taught my needs don't matter?What would I tell my daughter/best friend if she felt guilty about this same choice?How does my exhaustion actually serve the people I love?Step 4: Rest anyway. Let the guilt be there without letting it run the show.Listen Now:Ready to break free from the double bind that keeps you trapped between exhaustion and guilt?

In this episode, we dive into stress management that actually works for your reality—not some fantasy world where a bubble bath solves everything. I'm breaking down five practical strategies designed specifically for high-achieving Black women who are navigating invisible labor, code-switching, family expectations, and the pressure to always be "strong."Tune in as we explore how to name your invisible labor, practice radical micro-rest, create powerful boundaries, build your sister circle, and reconnect with your body's wisdom. If you're looking to move from surviving to thriving, you won't want to miss this one!Key Takeaways:• Name the Invisible Labor: Learn to identify and track the emotional labor, code-switching, and family obligations that drain your energy without being acknowledged or compensated.• Practice Radical Micro-Rest: Discover how tiny moments of intentional rest throughout your day can regulate your nervous system—without waiting until you're completely burnt out.• Create Your No Script Library: Build a collection of boundary-setting phrases so you can protect your energy without scrambling for words in the moment.• Build a Sister Circle Safety Net: Understand why isolation multiplies stress and how to cultivate genuine community with people who truly get your experience.• Reconnect With Your Body's Signals: Stop overriding your body's warnings and learn simple practices to listen to what it's been trying to tell you before it forces you to pay attention.

In this eye-opening episode of Owning Pleasure with Natasha Chentille, we explore the powerful connection between what's on your plate and what happens in your bedroom. Nutritionist Robin joins us to reveal how everyday food choices directly impact your sexual health, energy, confidence, and intimate experiences—in ways most women never consider.If you're a high-achieving Black woman struggling with low energy, brain fog, recurring yeast infections, or decreased libido, this conversation will transform how you think about food. Tune in as we discuss pH balance, the gut-brain-sex connection, hormone support through nutrition, and practical strategies for making sustainable changes that enhance both your overall wellness and your intimate life. You won't want to miss Robin's vulnerable story about discovering this connection firsthand, plus her actionable seven-day reset that makes change feel simple, not overwhelming.Key Takeaways:Your Food Choices Directly Impact Your Intimate Health: What you eat affects your pH balance, natural lubrication, vaginal health, scent, and even your body's response during sex. Foods high in sugar and dairy can trigger yeast infections, inflammation, and unpleasant odors that may affect your confidence and intimate experiences.The Gut-Brain-Sex Triangle: Your gut health influences your mood, energy levels, mental clarity, and sexual desire. When your gut bacteria is imbalanced from poor nutrition, it creates cravings, brain fog, and fatigue—all of which impact your libido and ability to be present during intimacy.Small Changes, Big Results: You don't need to overhaul your entire diet overnight. Robin's seven-day reset approach helps you identify which foods work for your body through strategic elimination and reintroduction, making sustainable change feel achievable rather than overwhelming.Essential Nutrients for Sexual Wellness: Seeds (flax, sesame, pumpkin, sunflower) support hormone balance and natural lubrication. Leafy greens, berries, and avocados help detoxify and balance hormones. Vitamin D3 with K2 supports vaginal health, cellular repair, and lubrication—especially crucial for Black women who are more likely to be deficient.Your Cycle Is Your Superpower When You Work With It: Understanding your menstrual cycle's phases allows you to plan high-energy activities (including sex) during your warrior phase post-menstruation, while honoring your body's need for rest and specific nutrients during your premenstrual phase.Listen Now:Ready to discover how simple food swaps could transform your energy, confidence, and intimate experiences?

In this powerful episode of Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman, I dismantle one of the biggest lies we've been sold: that our worth equals our productivity. If you've ever felt guilty about resting, equated being busy with being valuable, or can't sit still without your brain creating a to-do list, this episode is for you. I explore the historical roots of productivity scripts in the Black community, reveal whose voices are really in your head when you call yourself "lazy," and expose what the productivity trap is actually costing you—your connection to your body, your authentic desires, and your relationships.Key Takeaways:● The Productivity Script Isn't Yours: Those voices calling you lazy are inherited survival scripts from generations who had to work twice as hard to survive. The "strong Black woman" mythology equating struggle with worth was a survival strategy, not your identity.● Your Worth ≠ Other People's Comfort: Productivity often becomes a way to avoid disappointing others through people-pleasing tendencies. Your rest isn't stealing from anyone—their discomfort with your boundaries is information, not instruction.● The Real Cost of the Productivity Lie: Constant busyness disconnects you from your body's signals, causes you to lose touch with your authentic desires, and prevents present-moment connections in your relationships.This Week's Action Plan:The Voice Detective Practice: Every time you feel guilty about resting, pause and ask "Whose voice is this really?" Write down the exact words and ask if you'd say this to someone you love.The Values Check: Before saying yes to anything, ask yourself: "Am I doing this because it aligns with my values, or because I'm afraid of someone's discomfort?"Body Wisdom Reset: Set three daily alarms. When they go off, ask your body "What do you need right now?" and give it one small thing it's asking for.Ready to Transform Your Relationship with Rest?Join Natasha's FREE 7-Day Self-Care Reset and go from feeling guilty about your needs to confidently putting yourself first without the shame.

In this powerful episode of Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman, I dive deep into the inherited guilt that shows up every time you say no or set a boundary. You know it's the right decision—you're already overwhelmed—but there's that familiar knot in your stomach and the voice saying "you're so selfish." What if that guilt isn't even yours? I unpack how survival scripts from our ancestors, childhood messages about being "low maintenance," and the strong Black woman stereotype create the perfect storm of people-pleasing. Learn to distinguish between your authentic voice and inherited programming, understand the difference between caring and caretaking, and discover practical steps to reclaim your right to disappoint people without carrying their emotions.Key Takeaways:• The Guilt Isn't Yours: That critical voice telling you you're selfish for having boundaries isn't your authentic self—it's an inherited script from survival patterns passed down through generations, childhood conditioning about being "good," and cultural stereotypes about Black women always being available.• Your Body Knows the Difference: Your authentic voice feels expansive in your body—shoulders drop, chest opens, you can breathe deeply. External scripts create knots in your stomach, tension in your shoulders, and restricted breathing. Use these physical cues to identify which voice is speaking.• Caring vs. Caretaking: Caring says "I love you and I hope you figure that out." Caretaking says "I love you and I will sacrifice myself to give you what you need." Your "no" is actually true love—it gives people space to support themselves while preserving your energy for what you truly want to pour into.Episode Challenge: The Guilt AuditStep 1: Notice when guilt shows up this week without judgment. Just observe and acknowledge it.Step 2: Ask yourself three questions:Whose voice is this? (Mom, grandmother, cultural messaging?)What am I afraid will happen if I don't fix this person's disappointment?What would I choose if I trusted that I could handle their reaction?Step 3: Choose one small boundary to maintain this week, even while feeling guilty. Maybe it's not responding to texts immediately, saying "let me think about it" instead of automatic yes, or not volunteering for something you don't want to do.Listen Now:Ready to reclaim your right to disappoint people?

In this powerful season 6 premiere of Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman, I call out the elephant in the room: you've been listening, nodding along, and feeling inspired—but what happens next? This episode marks a major shift from education to implementation. I challenge you to move beyond the "someday" mentality and start treating pleasure as a daily practice, not a crash diet approach. If you're tired of consuming self-care content without seeing real change in your life, this episode is your wake-up call and roadmap to start creating the pleasurable life you deserve.Key Takeaways:• From Consumer to Creator: Listening to every episode and saving quotes won't change your life—implementation will. The difference between women who consume content and women who act is that they live completely different lives.• Small, Sustainable Shifts Over Grand Gestures: You don't need to overhaul your entire life. Start with one small thing, like taking bathroom breaks when you need them, actually tasting your morning coffee, or saying no to one draining commitment this week.• Pleasure as Daily Practice: Stop treating pleasure like a "someday thing" and start incorporating small moments of happiness, satisfaction, and enjoyment into your ordinary, everyday life—because it's possible and we need it now more than ever.Listen Now:Ready to stop consuming and start creating?

Episode Summary:In this episode, I explore the challenges many high-achieving women face with receiving help, support, and care from others. I examine why type A personalities, perfectionists, and overachievers often resist receiving and how this resistance impacts relationships, self-care, and overall joy. Tune in as we discover practical ways to embrace receiving without guilt, create deeper connections, and find greater pleasure in everyday life. If you're someone who's always giving but struggles to accept help in return, this episode offers valuable insights to transform your approach.Key Takeaways:The Perfection Trap: Many high achievers struggle to receive because they're meticulous about how things should be done, believing there's only one "right way" (their way).Cultural and Social Influences: Black women in particular have been raised with a strong sense of responsibility to hold everything together, making it difficult to prioritize their own needs.Relationship Impact: Constantly giving without receiving creates imbalance in relationships, leading to tension, misunderstanding, and preventing deeper connections.Blocking Others' Blessings: When we refuse help or gifts, we prevent others from experiencing the joy of giving and potentially block what was meant for us.Practical Steps: Start small by genuinely accepting compliments with a simple "thank you," asking for help, and creating guilt-free space for self-care.Blog Post:Want to dive deeper into the topic?

Episode Summary: In this episode, we dive into the concept of "having it all" and challenge the societal expectations that often dictate what success and fulfillment should look like—especially for Black women. I share my journey of redefining what it means to truly "have it all," exploring how our desires, beliefs, and personal definitions shape our paths to joy and pleasure. Whether you're a high-achieving, Type-A perfectionist or someone just beginning to question what fulfillment means for you, this episode will help you start rethinking and reclaiming your own narrative. Stay tuned until the end for a special sneak peek of *Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman XXX*! Key Takeaways:1. Question the “Can't Have It All” Myth: Natasha challenges listeners to ask why they've accepted limits placed by others and to take back control of defining their desires. 2. Shift the Focus to You: "Having it all" isn't about material success for everyone. Natasha shares how her priorities shifted from external markers of success to internal peace, balance, and connection. 3. Uncover What You Truly Want: Through practices like journaling, meditation, and dance, Natasha found clarity on her desires and shares how you can, too. 4. It's Okay for Desires to Evolve: Your vision of “having it all” can—and should—change as you grow. Stay curious and flexible as you uncover new aspirations. 5. Life Isn't Either-Or: Why settle for just one flavor of ice cream when you can try them all? Natasha encourages embracing abundance in all its forms. Listen Now:Ready to redefine your version of “having it all”? Start by journaling about what makes you feel alive, peaceful, and fulfilled.

Have you ever felt so overloaded with responsibilities, tasks, and lingering emotions that you can't fully receive what you want and need?

Clear Out What You Don't Need: Whether it's obligations, emotions, or objects, start removing what's no longer aligned with who you are.4. Embrace New Space with Courage: Step into your next chapter with courage and trust that, despite the discomfort, you're creating room for something better.---Listen Now:Notice that you're always feeling “full” and too exhausted for the things that make you feel good inside?
