| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here. And today we're going to talk about how to find gratitude in community. |
| 0:18.1 | This really goes along with our theme for the month, which is all about gratitude. |
| 0:23.7 | And I've been talking about having gratitude when things fall apart, which it feels like it was |
| 0:30.4 | more timely than I thought it would be, particularly since I had planned to do episodes like this |
| 0:35.8 | before my father passed, before some other things |
| 0:38.8 | in my life became more and increasingly uncertain. And now for some of us, the election may |

| 2:04.5 | right? It doesn't always have to be the way we think. One of the most powerful episodes we've |
| 2:10.2 | had this year was with Daniel Bayer Jackson, where she talked about fighting for our |

| 2:21.5 | And we make our relationships dependent on our best friend, for example. |
| 2:26.7 | But by doing that, we miss out on the ability to really have a large supportive community around us. |
