White, PhD MPH MSW RSW joins me to breathe through the realities Black women face navigating job uncertainty, burnout, and the emotional labor of survival in a world that rarely makes space for our breath.

We explore how burnout feels in the body, the exhaustion of code-switching, and the quiet grief of not getting to finish what we started. But this episode isnt just about struggleits about strategy and sisterhood. Together, we imagine what recovery could look like: joy as resistance, rest as reparations, and productivity redefined on our terms.
