Return to Presence with Dr. Shawna

Black women have always known how to transform what's in front of them—even when it wasn't called leadership. Return to Presence is for women leading in high-stakes environments. If you're carrying the weight of other people's survival and your own, this is for you.

Hosted by Shawna Murray-Browne, Ph.D., LCSW-C—integrative psychotherapist, executive advisor, cultural historian and womanist scholar—each episode draws on Black women's oral histories to explore leading without losing ourselves. Return to Presence examines burnout and chronic stress while offering pathways to healing and transformation.

Each episode provides mental health tools grounded in cultural wisdom, spiritual practices, and embodied healing strategies. This is Black women's wisdom for anyone ready to lead differently. Return to presence—where you can hear yourself clearly and access the highest version of who you are.
