| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Born Out podcast. Kelly here. And today is a special episode dedicated to finding peace in times of pain. You'll notice there is no opt-in or opt-out theme today. |
| 0:24.0 | I wanted to create an episode that really could be a standalone for you to use whenever |
| 0:34.1 | the world gets to be too much, whether it's world events or its personal events or |
| 0:41.4 | culturally specific events. The last couple weeks in the world when I'm recording this have |
| 0:49.4 | been extremely heartbreaking and extremely disturbing. I think back to 2020 and George Floyd being in the |
| 0:58.7 | news and I realize this sad truth that in the past there have been horrific things that have |
| 1:07.3 | happened that are traumatic. In the present, there are always horrific things |
| 1:12.6 | that are happening. And sadly, in the future, there will be other heartbreaking traumatic |
| 1:20.8 | events that are happening in our lives, in the people we love's lives, in our immediate area, |
| 1:27.4 | in our culture, in the people we love's lives, in our immediate area, in our culture, in the world. |

| 1:52.4 | in the future. I am not immune to the heartbreak that living in today's society can cause. |
| 2:01.9 | But my goal is always to give you something to return to, something to help you cope, |
| 2:08.3 | help you opt out of traumatic stress in this case without feeling disconnected, |
| 2:23.8 | without feeling disconnected, without feeling passive, and with still giving you permission to find joy. Because the joy is the only way through the pain. Finding those |
| 2:31.4 | moments is so key. |
| 2:47.7 | And so this episode is going to be about three ways you can really manage what I call vicarious trauma, which is what happens when we're in the presence of pain for too long, even if it's not our own. |
| 2:55.2 | And I want to close this episode with a grounding meditation for you. |
| 3:01.8 | It's my hope that you will hold on to this episode, put it to the side, download it, and save it for when things get overwhelming. It's also my hope that you share this episode far and wide with people in |
| 3:09.4 | your life, whether you are an activist or just a regular person watching, observing and feeling |
