| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast. Kelly here. And today I want to talk about how to find joy when facing the unknown. If you're like me, maybe this year has been filled with a lot of |
| 0:23.2 | uncertainty. Maybe it's not gone the way you planned it or maybe it's not a bad year, but it feels |
| 0:29.4 | chaotic or you feel like you're trying to play catch up or so many things are happening at |
| 0:34.3 | once. You're kind of overwhelmed. No matter where you find yourself, |
| 0:38.6 | whether this year has been challenging or maybe your heart's hurting because of the state of the |
| 0:43.6 | world in general and the chaos that lies there, or maybe you're just trying to keep your |
| 0:48.5 | head above water with all the pivots and changes happening in your life. So hopefully, mostly for the good, but even if they're not for the bad too. |
| 0:59.3 | If that is you, this is your episode. |
| 1:02.3 | This is an episode about how to find joy even when facing the unknown. |
| 1:08.9 | Also, if you're like me, you might be someone who's always hated or resisted |

| 1:30.1 | planning, thinking, trying to pivot, strategize. It is a skill I'm proud of, but it also can be my own |
| 1:40.2 | kind of fatal flaw. When you're unable to live in the moment, you miss out. And I find myself |
| 1:46.0 | constantly living on fast forward and having to remind myself daily to pull back and stay where I am. |
| 1:54.9 | And when you live a life like that or when you have a struggle like that, your worst enemy is not knowing what happens next. |
| 2:03.8 | I have long since lived in terror of the dreaded unknown. |
| 2:08.1 | And it wasn't until I started on this journey to opting out that I made more peace with |
| 2:13.1 | just not knowing, surrendering. |
| 2:15.6 | If you've noticed, I've talked a lot in the last few months about |
| 2:18.5 | when to surrender, the power of surrender, letting go. All of that really is about facing the |
| 2:27.3 | unknown and meeting it with softness and meeting it at times with joy even. And so I want us to think about how we can infuse joy, |
