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.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
My entire life, I had really prided myself on what I defined as being low maintenance, which was really just all about self-denial and trying to shrink myself and my needs to make myself more attractive to others. However, today, I want to encourage you to accept that there is nothing wrong with prioritizing your own needs.Β Let today be the day that you say NO MORE to all versions of the struggle.
