Opt Into Financial Peace

In this transformative episode of Black Girl Burnout, Kelley invites us to opt into something radical—financial peace. When you hear the word “money,” does it bring anxiety or calm? Too often, financial freedom is framed as a grind, a hustle, a never-ending race to a bigger number. But what if the goal wasn’t just wealth—but peace?

💡 Today You’ll Learn:

• Why financial freedom and financial peace are not the same
• How to redefine success beyond external markers like flashy purchases or social status
• The deep cultural roots of financial anxiety—and how to break free
• Practical steps to shift from money stress to money ease
• 
  

This episode is an invitation to step away from shame, scarcity, and burnout. Instead, we’re embracing a new narrative—one where financial wellness is measured in safety, alignment, and a regulated nervous system.

✨ Episode Highlights:

01:06 – Why money brings up big emotions

02:44 – The myth of financial freedom vs. the goal of financial peace

05:18 – Letting go of hustle culture and scarcity mindset

09:09 – How to detach self-worth from financial status

10:50 – First steps toward financial peace—without judgment

15:07 – Affirmations and mindset shifts to reclaim your financial power

This month, we’re making space for ease, healing our relationship with money, and choosing peace over panic. Tune in, take a deep breath, and start your journey toward financial wellness today.

BGB Community Minute l Aline Lopes

ATTN: BGB Community In Dorchester (Boston Area) Massachusetts, we are happy to highlight an amazing upcoming play in your area. We need your help to support this event.

Note From Aline Lopes:

My name is Aline and I am a theatre company owner from Boston. Our productions are focused on stereotypes and taboos surrounding mental health that exist in black and brown communities.

About The Play:

The play's name is "The Many Faces Of The Strong Black Woman: The Dark Days", and we will be performing at the Strand Theater in Dorchester, MA April 4th and 5th, 2025. 

The play is a part of a series of plays that displays different stories of black women maneuvering through the stressors of life all while trying to live up to the ideals held by the idea of "the strong black woman". The plays are meant to highlight the interconnectivity that exists between our biology and our race. The play displays some of the ways these factors impact us as black women living in the US. This particular play showcases what happens when all the members of a sisterhood are simultaneously struggling to manage their individual mental health status. The play focuses on the ways we interact with our inner circle and the world beyond when our mental health is suffering. 

This production displays some of the dark ways we impact ourselves and those close to us when our mental health is deteriorating. The story is told through dialogue, dancing, singing and rapping. The production collaborates with local artists and works hard to use as much original local music as possible.
