Ready to Exhale
Welcome to Ready to Exhale, a podcast centering the well-being of Black women. In each episode, we lift up Black women’s voices—learning from their stories, wisdom, and lived expertise.
Together, we explore what it means to hold space for the fullness of who we are: our joy, our healing, our reflection, and our breath.
This podcast offers a brave space where you’ll be inspired to care for yourself, express your joy, and find moments to exhale—because we are no longer waiting to exhale.

In this solo episode, Katara invites us to pause, breathe, and reflect on the urgent importance of prioritizing our mental health and well-being as Black women. Especially now.
She begins with grounding breathwork practice, weaves in data from The State of Self-Care for Black Women and The Highland Project’s Poll and speaks truth about the systems that harm us while pointing toward collective care as resistance.
The episode closes with her reading her original poem, We Root Ourselves Here, a love letter to our care, joy, and community.
