In this deeply reflective episode of Hold My Purse: A Self-Care Journey Through Life, Rho invites you to confront the quiet truths you’ve been avoiding. 🪞 Whether it’s unprocessed grief, hidden fears, or emotional fatigue, this conversation is all about facing yourself with radical honesty and compassion.

Rho opens up about her personal journey of abandoning herself to “be everything for everyone” and shares why so many of us—especially Black women, women of color, and caregivers—avoid sitting still with our own reflection. 🤎

Together, we’ll explore:
🌿 Why avoidance feels like survival (but costs you peace and energy)
🌿 How mirror work can be a sacred tool for self-love and healing
🌿 A step-by-step Mirror Talk Ritual to reconnect with your true self
🌿 Journal prompts to release emotional burdens
🌿 Powerful affirmations to anchor you in your self-care journey

Plus, a sweet opening from Aria 💕, Rho’s granddaughter and podcast sidekick, who shares her joy and excitement for the day!

This episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and empowered to face your reflection with love—not fear.

✨ Pro tip: For a deeper dive, listen to the companion episode, Radical Self-Love, where we lay the foundation for this inner work.
