Sis, Put The Pitcher Down!

Why do we, as Black women, keep pouring—even when we're empty? In this powerful episode, Latreya Monteiro gets real about the generational, cultural, and spiritual conditioning that taught us our worth is tied to how much we give. From people-pleasing to overfunctioning, many of us learned that love had to be earned—and our value was measured in what we sacrificed. But today? We break that cycle. Latreya takes you on a journey to: Unpack the trauma behind overgiving Reclaim your right to rest, joy, and boundaries Say no without guilt and choose yourself without apology Embrace self-care as sacred—not selfish If you’ve ever felt soul-tired from constantly being the strong one, this episode is your invitation to fill your cup first—fully and freely. 🔥 In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why overgiving is often a trauma response How childhood and church taught us to equate love with usefulness Why choosing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s healing How to create sacred rhythms of rest, refilling, and restoration Powerful affirmations to remind you that you are enough. --- 💬 Episode Quote to Remember: "Choosing you is not rebellion—it’s redemption.” --- 🛠️ Resources & Mentions: Follow Latreya on Instagram: @latreyamonteiro Listen to more episodes: Spotify | Apple Podcasts Need a journaling prompt to start choosing YOU?
