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?

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?

Opt-Out of Confusion
Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out Podcast with Kelley. Today we're going to talk about how to opt out of confusion in your life and instead opt into clarity. I'm going to start our conversation with a question. Have you ever been confused? I'm laughing because I feel like that was my entire 20s. The entire decade was one of confusion. I was confused in every area of my life professionally, personally, financially, just a whole lot of confusion.

Opt-Into Moving in Silence
Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out Podcast with Kelley. Today we're going to talk about how to Opt Into Moving in Silence. In a previous episode we discussed opting out of silence, an episode that addressed the fact that black women are more likely to experience domestic and sexual violence. Maintaining a cloak of silence about the pain and violation that we have experienced as a community is unhealthy and imprisons us into struggle. However, this community is all about Opting Out of Struggle. But, that's not what we're talking about today. Today, we're talking about something different. We're talking about moving in silence in the context of learning how to keep some things private, and just for yourself. I will admit that while I have never had a problem keeping other people’s secrets, I have struggled with keeping my own thoughts private. If I was making a professional move, I would tell far too many people before I made it. I would talk about a relationship that I kind of knew was going nowhere, I would talk about my financial goals with the wrong folks. It took me many, many, many years to learn how to move in silence. Here is my question to you, are you sharing your finances, goals, relationships, and dreams with too many people?

Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout Podcast with Kelley. Today I have a question for you. What are you waiting for? I hope that this episode galvanizes and motivates you to live a little bit bigger and bolder in your life today as we talk about how to opt-out of waiting and opt into now. There are times when patience is definitely a virtue. There are also times when there are things that we have to wait on. But, we also need to accept that there are conditioned thoughts that may be stopping us from having all the goodness that we deserve. I talk about our inheritance being joy and abundance, and love and community. Today, I want to encourage you to receive that you can align with your inheritance now. So, as a community, we are going to discuss how to opt into now, by talking about ways that we can effectively change our thought process. We are also going to discuss how to achieve love in life and in work. I love the ongoing conversation that we're having as a community. I love being transparent and honest with you. Where I feel brave enough to do so I am going to talk about my own struggles.
