Thank you for listening to this week's episode of Balance Black Girl.

0:12.0

My name is Les. I am your host and I

0:14.8

appreciate you joining me for part two of this week's mental health check-in. So if you

0:21.1

listened to my mini episode on Tuesday, you got to hear from me solo where I just talked a little bit about how my mental health has been going, how my 2024 has been going, how full-time entrepreneurship has been treating me and

1:21.8

and so our time together was a little bit shorter than we had intended,

1:25.7

which is why this episode is more of a short check-in as opposed to a kind of longer in-depth interview that you may be used to hearing on the show. We will be inviting

1:41.1

that we will get to do at another time, but we were still able to have a really good conversation

1:46.0
