Summary

Sometimes being strong comes with a cost.

In this solo episode of the podcast, Emili gets real about the exhaustion so many Black women carry every day — at work and in the spaces where we are expected to keep showing up no matter what. This conversation is about burnout, boundaries, protection, and the emotional weight of constantly having to be “on.”

From navigating the workplace to learning how to leave work at work, document everything, and identify who is truly supportive, this episode is a reminder that exhaustion is not weakness. It is often the result of carrying too much for too long.

If you’ve been feeling drained, overlooked, or stretched too thin, this episode is for you.
