Podcast
Written By Vanessa Newton

Listen here.

In this energetic and powerful episode, Dr. Ebony Butler and I talk about her journey through overcoming a poverty mindset to growing a practice and a product-based business.

Dr. Ebony is a Licensed Psychologist and Food Relationship Strategist who has made it her mission to help women of color heal and thrive in the areas of trauma, including racial trauma and recovering from food and body trauma experienced through diet culture. She is the host of the Food is Not Bae Podcast, author of the book Food is Not Bae, and creator of My Therapy Cards®, the first-ever self-exploration card deck for Black women and other women of color.

Tune in as we explore:

  • Learning not to live from a place of fearing poverty

  • Creating systems and processes that take you from making money to building a business

  • The power of pivoting in business and in life

  • Realizing you can’t do it all by yourself and getting the help you need

  • Using social media as an archive tool and not for comparison

  • Setting a price point that is right for you and your business, showing up at that level, and trusting the community to support you
