Today I want to talk to you about the Struggle, and the Four Pillars that will help you to Opt-Out of Struggle with consistency. It’s time to affirm who you are, write your own story, be intentional, and establish a positive environment. This episode is for you if you are coping with multiple different mini-crises per day, worried about your physical health, a pressing assignment at work, or the fact that people don’t appreciate you at work. You might be burnt out of terrible first dates, disappointing partnerships, or struggling with your body image or your weight. There are so many different ways that the struggle is 100% real. But today, I want to challenge you a little bit. And I want to ask a question. The struggle is real, but does it have to be? Let’s talk about it.

Today I want to talk to you about the three things, what burnout is, the symptoms of black girl burnout, and what burnout specifically means for black women. You have likely felt the impact of burnout before. It is the knots in your shoulder. It is the rock in the pit of your stomach. It’s the exhaustion you feel when you must engage with a co-worker who is committing all kinds of microaggressions against you. It’s the frustration of realizing that if the American dream isn’t even possible for white people anymore, why am I even trying? It’s the tears you hold back when you see another incident of police brutality or another verdict that just reinforces for you that the justice system was never created for black people. Let’s talk about it.
