About this listen

 O₃: The Black Girl Formula Overthinking. Overfeeling. Overcoming. Welcome to O₃: The Black Girl Formula—where we unpack all the stuff that gets stuck in our heads and hearts and turn it into power. Inspired by the strength of ozone (you know, the thing that protects us from all the mess in the atmosphere), this space is your emotional sanctuary and your strategy room. Each episode is a soft place to land and a push toward healing—whether we’re talking about setting boundaries, shedding old identities, or finally choosing joy without guilt. Think: deep chats, “whew, that’s me” moments, and real steps toward becoming the version of you that feels most like home. We move through the Heart-Mind-Action formula every time—because we’re not just venting, we’re evolving. This ain’t just a podcast. It’s a permission slip, a blueprint, and a reminder: Hey Black girl, you are the formula. Let’s heal — one episode at a time.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.

    O₃: The Black Girl Formula Ep. 5: Safe Black Girls, Soft Black Boys
    Sep 28 2025

    In this episode of O₃: The Black Girl Formula, we’re unpacking what it really means for Black girls and Black boys to create safety with each other. Not just in romance, but in family, friendship, and the ways we work together too. From tenderness to trust, we’re naming what it looks like to soften and still be seen.

    We get into the healing that happens side by side, and Nel weaves in the brilliance of Nikki Giovanni and James Baldwin’s iconic conversation to ground the truth that safety isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation.

    Overthinking. Overfeeling. Overcoming.

    Tap in—this one is about soft power and safe connections.

    O₃: The Black Girl Formula Ep. 4: “I’M A GIRLS’ GIRL DOWN”
    Jul 26 2025

    In this episode of O₃: The Black Girl Formula, we’re unpacking what it really means to be a girls’ girl down—for real, not for performance. From unlearning internalized misogyny to the subtle ways women are conditioned to compete, we’re naming the mess and making room for something softer, safer, and way more solid.

    We get into the difference between friendship and proximity, the trap of centering men in our sisterhoods, and what it looks like to love your girls loud, free, and without side-eyes.

    Overthinking. Overfeeling. Overcoming.

    Tap in—this one is a soft reset for your sisterhood.

    O₃: The Black Girl Formula Ep.3 “I am HER, because I Said So”
    Jun 29 2025

    In this episode of O₃: The Black Girl Formula, we’re unpacking what it really means to stand in your worth—not because they saw it, but because you said so. From quiet confidence to the projections people place on powerful women, we’re talking about what it takes to stay rooted in who you are… even when you’re doubted, dismissed, or underestimated.

    We get into the difference between real confidence and performance, the emotional cost of shrinking, and the kind of self-trust that doesn’t ask for permission.

    Overthinking. Overfeeling. Overcoming.

    Tap in—this one is a soft reset for your power.
