Episode Summary:
In this episode, we dive deep into the societal pressure of constant productivity, especially for Black women.
We unpack how generational trauma and ancestral survival needs have led to a false narrative that our worth is tied to how much we can produce.
Listen in as I reflect on my personal journey and offer guidance on how to embrace rest without guilt.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or simply curious about shifting your mindset on productivity, this episode is for you.
