Many people leaders today are dealing with burnout, stress, and mental health issues, but people of color are disproportionately affected.

Zee Clark, author of Black People Breathe, experienced this firsthand as a young professional in Silicon Valley. Eventually, she burned out and took a sabbatical to India to heal. Along the way, she learned the life-changing mindfulness skills that she teaches today.

In this episode, Zee shares her powerful story of overcoming the concrete ceiling, a phrase reserved for women of color specifically, because while glass can be broken, concrete is much harder to break. She explains how she used her own experience to help others, and practical breathing techniques for stress relief.
