Opt-Out Of Drama
Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out podcast with Kelley. Today I want to talk about how to opt-out of drama. Every time I think about drama, I think about Mary J. Blige’s song “No More Drama”. I picture Mary J and I think about all that she has endured and overcome along her journey. So in this episode, we are going to talk about ways to make your life drama free. In order to achieve this goal, we must first address the ways that we may be subtly inviting drama into our lives. Here is my question to you, are you addicted to drama, or are you ready to be fully drama-free? Let’s talk about it.Our Sponsors:* Check out Global Healing: https://globalhealing.com/healAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Opt-Into Forgiveness
Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out podcast with Kelley. Today, I want to ask you another question, do you struggle with forgiveness? I feel like that's a loaded and complicated question. I think that a lot of people may say, No, I forgive everyone. However, when you then dig a little deeper underneath the surface, those feelings are often not sincere or true. If you struggle with being able to forgive, full-heartedly, this episode is for you. We will begin by talking about what forgiveness is and what forgiveness isn't. When I'm talking about forgiveness, I want to be clear that I am not talking about condoning bad behavior, allowing people to mistreat you, or allowing people to disrespect you. Again, the whole goal of this podcast is to encourage the members of our community to opt-out of struggle on every level of our lives. Let’s talk about it.Our Sponsors:* Check out Global Healing: https://globalhealing.com/healAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Opt-Out Of Hard Work
Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out podcast with Kelley. Today we are going to talk about opting out of hard work. Specifically, we are going to talk about what I mean when I say “hard work”. We are also going to cover why some types of hard work can be considered toxic. Our goal is to align with doing things that in a manner that flow and bring ease into your daily life. In the past we have discussed toxic hustle culture, which is the belief that you've got to grind, you've got to push, you've got to force yourself to do things. Unfortunately, so much of that messaging keeps us opting into struggle, right? It keeps us always pushing ourselves, not feeling like we are doing something meaningful unless it is difficult, while not feeling like there's any reward. I feel like this toxic hustle myth is slowly killing our culture, particularly killing black women. We are some of the hardest-working people on the planet. We're over-educated compared to other demographics, and we have strong entrepreneurial skills. Many of us have a main hustle and three side hustles or two main hustles. We go, go, go, and we work hard, hard, hard. But not every type of hard work is healthy. It’s time to transition into a healthy work mindset.

Opt-Into Joy
Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out Podcast with Kelley. Today we're going to talk about how to Opt Into Joy. This episode begins a new three-part series, that is centered around fully aligning with your birthright inheritance of happiness, abundance and joy. It may be difficult at first to accept joy into your life. For Black Women, so often, the depth of the struggle tends to cloud our ability to even hope. However, we no longer have to accept the struggle as the norm. In fact, in this community, our focus is on taking the steps necessary to retrain our mindsets into the understanding that we deserve financial freedom, healthy relationships, and peace within ourselves. Joy to me is a state of being. It is the ability to make meaning of painful events. It is the prioritization of choosing to feel good more than allowing yourself to feel bad. Living a joyful life tends to mean you smile more. And while it's not easy initially to embark on that journey, it is completely possible and unbelievably rewarding when you get there. However, joy is not a one-moment destination. You must keep cultivating it to keep more joy coming back to you, even when you are enduring difficult situations. Here is my question to you, what is holding you back from fully receiving joy into your life?

Opt-Into Adventure
Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out podcast with Kelley. Today I want to talk about three ways to opt into Adventure. Each day I try to live as life as I full a life as I possibly can. I've always been pretty adventurous. As a kid I was pretty strong-willed, or stubborn you could say. If I wanted to strike out on an adventure, I didn't like anyone telling me what I couldn't do. But today, we're going to talk about how to infuse adventure in your life, in the context of having the kind of exciting life that you just can’t wait to jump into every morning. I'm going to specifically talk about how I injected adventure into my daily life. Here is my question for you, do you believe that it is possible for you to live an adventurous and happy life?

Opt-Out Of Competition
Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out podcast with Kelley. Today I want to talk about three ways to Opt-Out of Competition. Historically, for black women, competition comes out of a society-driven scarcity mindset. When we open our horizons to fully believe in abundance, it is possible to release the form of scarcity that can result in becoming a prisoner to jealousy-centered competitive ideation. Let’s be clear, jealousy is a very common emotion. When we feel threatened by someone who may seem to be doing better than us, feeling jealous is normal. The goal is to transform those feelings into empowering thoughts and actions. Competition has been known to bring out the best in people. However, when rooted in scarcity and fear, it can bring out the worst in us. The good news is that you have the power to choose your reality. Are you ready to release unhealthy competitive energy from your life experience?
