Summary

Hey y’all, it’s Bre, and I’ve got something important to share with you today. After reflecting on the constant hustle culture we’re all caught up in and seeing a powerful confirmation in an unexpected place—a video of Macy Gray, no less—I’ve decided to take a sabbatical for the month of December.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

Why rest is a necessary
How I knew it was time to pause and honor my intuition.
What you can expect when I return in January with fresh, intentional episodes.

If you’ve been feeling like you need permission to pause, this is it. Rest is a way to honor your humanity and sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is nothing.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful community, for listening, and for holding space. I’ll see you in January—until then, take care of yourself, rest deeply, and know that you’re already enough.

1:23.4	Like, it's time to make some pivots and changes when it comes to brown girl's self-care.
1:29.7	And a part of that for me is going to have to, like in other words, for me to continue to get the
