EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode, host Kelley Bonner discusses the importance of Opting Into Centering Joy. One of the best ways to center joy in your life is by decreasing the amount of time and energy you give to “Struggle”. Reclaim some of your time by acknowledging things that have gone well in your life, or positive ways that you have been able to manage challenges. You deserve to be proud of yourself. This episode is for you if you would like to learn more about effective strategies designed to help you with getting on a routine with centering joy in your life. 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.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

As Black Women we often don’t know how to be at peace or at rest. And that can lead to insomnia or sleep disturbances. It can lead to stomach problems and headaches. It can even result in unnecessary added strain on our relationships. Overstimulation almost always inevitably ends in a space of overwhelm. So, take some time to think about a “de-stressing” routine that works for you. Let today be the day that you say NO MORE to all versions of the struggle.
