We kick off our episode by diving into a radical truth: Black women deserve rest. In a world that celebrates busyness and expects us to be endlessly strong, reclaiming rest is an act of survival and resistance. We talk about burnout, compassion fatigue, and the “Strong Black Woman” stereotype — and explore how self-compassion can be the key to healing and wholeness.
