    Why I'm Not A Girlboss

    Why I'm Not A Girlboss

    Happy Women's History Month! Starting the month with a bang! In this episode, I talk about the Girlboss mentality and why I personally do not subscribe to it. I share how I use to work myself to the ground to the point where I was physically abusing my body without realizing it. A full year later, I can confidently say that I do not subscribe to this lifestyle anymore. Instead, I share how I have prioritized taking a Sabbath (day of rest) every week. It has done me wonders! We also dissect why the Girlboss movement lacks particularly when it comes to intersectionality. This episode was very different for me to record, but I hope it resonates with you all!
