Girl, Get UNRULY! w/ Shelah Marie | Episode 183

Girl Stop Playin Podcast | Black Girls Personal Development

This week’s episode of Girl Stop Playin is all about healing, accountability, and tapping into our inner power. I was so excited to have Shelah Marie on the show. If y’all don’t know her yet, you’re about to get your life because this woman is all about wellness, mental health, and living authentically. We had such a dope conversation about her journey, and trust me, it’s one you don’t want to miss.

Shelah shared how she started her path to wellness after dealing with anxiety, depression, and toxic relationships in her 20s. She had this moment of realization where she was like, "Wait, I’m dating my mom’s energy but in a different body!" It hit her hard, and she decided enough was enough. She didn’t want to keep repeating the same cycles, so she got into meditation and started her wellness journey, which led her to build a community and start sharing her story online.

We also got real about the “mother wound.” Y’all know that’s something I’ve talked about before—thinking I was the only one with mommy issues. Turns out, there are thousands of women dealing with the same thing. Shelah and I broke down how these relationships with our moms shape who we are and how we move through life, especially when it comes to attracting certain kinds of relationships. Accountability was a major theme—taking responsibility for the energy we allow into our lives. But Shelah hit on something so real: we as Black women are constantly told we need to be accountable, but we’re already carrying the weight of everyone else’s actions on top of our own.

Shelah and I had a deep conversation about how accountability sometimes feels like another way to shame women instead of empowering us. We need to own our choices, yes, but not from a place of guilt or blame. It’s about reclaiming our power and breaking the cycles that don’t serve us. We can’t keep attracting toxic situations without realizing the role we play in that, but it’s about doing the inner work from a place of love and growth, not shame.

This episode is a whole word, sis. If you’re ready to dive into some deep healing, accountability, and grace for yourself, hit play and listen in. Shelah Marie drops gems, and we’re talking real talk that will help you on your journey to living your best life.
