EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, host Kelley Bonner and her guest Mayyadda discuss the concept of coming home to yourself. Listening to music is one of the fastest ways to elevate your vibe. Music speaks the things we can’t express, soothes the mind and gives it rest; heals the heart and makes it whole, it flows freely through your soul. Connecting with a sound that soothes you, is a form of self-care. This episode is for you if you are ready to learn how to establish a pattern for practicing the kind of self-care that opens you up to a life filled with peace and joy. More, more, and still more is within your reach in 2023. Stay tuned til the end, to learn more about today’s homework assignment. You will be so glad that you did 🙂

The Black Girl Burnout podcast is dedicated to helping black women learn how to opt-out
of the mentality of struggle while also learning how to opt into a life of joy, abundance,
and good health, which is their birthright. Burnout can manifest in a variety of ways,
including feelings of exhaustion, cynicism, and a lack of accomplishment. It is totally ok if
you are experiencing more than one of the feelings at the same time. Being able to fully
align with your truth is a significant sign of strength.
