My name is Kelley Bonner, and welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast. This podcast is dedicated to helping black women manage the stress of daily living while preventing the detrimental effects of burnout. As black women we often feel overburdened and undervalued. This deadly combination demands a podcast offering probable solutions for burnout just for you. As a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience, helping people and organizations transform, evolve and heal burnout. I am ready to dive deep on topics around burnout, including career burnout, relationship burnout, and how racism and sexism contribute to the acceleration of burnout. Spend just 15 minutes with me three times a week, and I will help you develop the tools needed to combat and overcome burnout. During each episode, I will walk you through bite sized and manageable practices that will give you immediate relief by leaning into your intuition and becoming more engaged and connected with yourself and your community. This podcast is a labor of love because it’s about us having my own painful experiences with burnout and recovery. I see you because I am you. Join me on the Black Girl Burnout podcast and let’s build a community of resilient women thriving through the week together with optimism, humor, and a lot of grace. I can’t wait to heal with you.

Today I want to talk to you about three signs to look for when determining if you are living life at the most optimal level. Many of us hold back from living up to our full potential. However, it doesn’t have to be that way.
I want to walk you through an exercise that will help you to start living a full life, even if you haven’t achieved that level before. Plus, I will show you how to maintain the ability to experience life at the next level. If you are currently blocking yourself from living up to your full potential, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about it.
