🎧🎙️ Podcast Recommendation of the Week: Inclusive AF Podcast Ep. 150 – Radical Self-Care for Black Women: Why Rest is a Necessity, Not a Luxury ✨
Exhaustion isn't a badge of honor. On this week's Inclusive AF Podcast, Katee Van Horn and I (Jackye Clayton) have a powerful conversation about why radical self-care is not just essential—it's an act of resistance, especially for Black women who've been conditioned to carry everyone's burdens but their own.
We unpack systemic pressures, personal experiences, and practical strategies for reclaiming rest as a fundamental right. This episode isn't just talk; it's a blueprint for leaders, allies, and anyone determined to shift the culture of burnout to a culture of care.
