Summary

This episode, what I'm doing for the next 30 days is going to sound crazy. I get it. It needs to be done though because I'm locking in on how I'm blooming versus worrying about laboring to earn money. In our culture 9-5'ing/grinding is where our energy primarily goes and if there is anything left we do a little tending to ourselves. I'm flipping the narrative for the next 30 days and making self-care the primary and working secondary.

Listen in to learn more about the framework I'll be using. Also, feel free to join me or watch on my Youtube channel and let me know your thoughts!

0:00.0	I realize that what I'm about to say is going to sound insane, but this is my truth.
0:09.2	So I've decided that for the next 30 days, I am going to be treating self-care as if it is my full-time job.
0:20.6	In other words, giving it that same energy or
0:23.7	dedication as if it was a nine to five or as if it was, again, like a full-time job. We've come to a point
0:35.2	or a place where our well-being is secondary and the job is the primary.
0:39.9	And that's just not how it should be.
0:41.9	At least that's not how I want to live my life.
0:45.0	So again, I'm flipping that model where my well-being and the well-being of other black women in my community is the priority, is the primary, and income is secondary.
0:58.5	That's how it should be, especially for black people, specifically black women, because of
1:03.4	everything that we've endured over the last X amount of centuries in this country.
1:08.4	Right?
1:09.1	So in today's episode, you're going to hear me speaking on YouTube live.
1:14.9	I recorded this video a few days ago, breaking down the Being Framework in case you'd like to
1:20.0	join me, letting you know what I will be doing, what the letters represent and all that jazz.
1:25.4	So before I get you into today's episode, make sure that you go to YouTube.
1:30.4	If you're interested in following along with me, as I document this process and see what
1:34.9	my results will be after 30 days of making self-care the primary and income the secondary.
