Dear Beautiful Black Girl: A Love Letter To The Inner Black Girl In All Of Us
Becoming Her On Purpose is a podcast about choosing joy, reclaiming peace, and living unapologetically through life’s challenges. Hosted by Samantha Lynn, each episode offers honest reflections, personal growth insights, and encouragement to help you navigate adversity with purpose. Whether you're healing from a rut, reconnecting with your inner child, or finding strength in spirituality, this show is your reminder that you are in control of your story—and you deserve to live it on your terms. This episode is an offering. A reminder. A balm. After a year of historic moments and heartbreaking disappointments, I found myself revisiting old wounds that I thought had healed. Watching Kamala Harris—an educated, experienced, powerful Black woman—lose her bid for presidency was more than a political disappointment. It was personal. It reopened scars from my own life where I’ve shown up with everything I had, only to be overlooked, dismissed, or told I was imagining the bias I clearly felt. In this deeply vulnerable episode, I speak from the heart—sharing my grief, my processing, and ultimately my power. What started as a journal entry turned into a love letter. One written for every Black woman who’s ever been made to question her worth. Every Black woman who has had to carry so much, with so little recognition. Every Black woman who’s tired, but still getting up every day and showing out. This one’s for you. Whenever you need it. However many times you need to hear it. You are worthy. You are enough. You are allowed to rest. Themes in this Episode Processing political disappointment as personal grief The power and burden of being a Black woman in America Reclaiming self-worth and sovereignty A love letter to the inner Black girl in all of us Sisterhood as a global sanctuary Permission to rest, to exist, and to take up space unapologetically

The Spiritual Reset: The Gift of Allowing and Learning to Make Space for The New
Hello beautiful souls! Welcome to another episode of Becoming Her on Purpose. I wanted to update you on what's been happening in my life! As we close out December, I've been going through the wringer mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. I've had to dial up my self-care and guard my mental health. I know it all will serve a purpose, but going through it has been challenging, to say the least. This saga is filled with job loss, friendship revelations, and sudden epiphanies that have left me with clarity. Sometimes to get to our next season we have to release things that no longer serve us. We must be honest with ourselves and ask ourselves where we can be better organized and see better boundaries. We have to heal. I believe that we must get to the root cause of things to successfully set our goals. Join me on this journey to self-actualization through living my life with purpose on purpose. #glowup #goalsettingmotivation #spiritualgrowth #2024goals #selfcare contact: samantha.m@blackgirlcentered.com IG: b_heronpurpose TikTok: i_am_samanthalynn --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingheronpurpose/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingheronpurpose/support (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becomingheronpurpose/support)

Imposter Syndrome: What A Tangled Web We Weave When All We Want Is To Achieve.
Hello, My Loves! Welcome to Becoming Her On Purpose. Today, I would like to share my experience with Imposter Syndrome. I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't feel like an imposter. I have often felt undeserving and unqualified. In this episode, I challenge the thought that imposter syndrome is something that is solely the burden of the individual. I believe that our environment and societal stereotypes play a strong role in shaping our experiences with this phenomenon. I also dare to think that society benefits from our insecurities. Join me as I share how I am turning this around.

(The video version of this podcast can be found here: https://youtu.be/W6c5Mn5_yIo (https://youtu.be/W6c5Mn5_yIo)) I wanted to share how I found out I was Autistic. Yes, I am a late-diagnosed AuDHDer! I was diagnosed 2 years ago, and that diagnosis was a gift and a curse all at the same time. My diagnosis was the catalyst for my journey to becoming the best version of me. Becoming Her. After my diagnosis, I began to make changes in my life. I began to advocate for myself, self-care became a must, and I learned how to set boundaries. My Autism and ADHD affect every aspect of my life from goal setting to my sleep patterns. I will reference it a lot on this journey. If you have any questions, comment below. If you would like to be discrete, feel free to email me my contact info is below. Terms Used In This Video: Alexithymia: Alexithymia is a term used to describe problems with feeling emotions. In Greek, it loosely translates to “no words for emotion.” It is estimated that 1 in 10 people has alexithymia, but it is much more common in those with depression and in autistic people. Interoception: Interoception is a lesser-known sense that helps you understand and feel what's happening inside your body. Kids who struggle with the interoceptive sense may have trouble knowing when they feel hungry, full, hot, cold, or thirsty. Having trouble with this sense can also make self-regulation a challenge.
