Summary

Welcome to the Black Girl Burn Out Podcast with Kelley. Today we're going to talk about how to Opt Into Joy. This episode begins a new three-part series, that is centered around fully aligning with your birthright inheritance of happiness, abundance and joy. It may be difficult at first to accept joy into your life. For Black Women, so often, the depth of the struggle tends to cloud our ability to even hope. However, we no longer have to accept the struggle as the norm. In fact, in this community, our focus is on taking the steps necessary to retrain our mindsets into the understanding that we deserve financial freedom, healthy relationships, and peace within ourselves. Joy to me is a state of being. It is the ability to make meaning of painful events. It is the prioritization of choosing to feel good more than allowing yourself to feel bad. Living a joyful life tends to mean you smile more. And while it's not easy initially to embark on that journey, it is completely possible and unbelievably rewarding when you get there. However, joy is not a one-moment destination. You must keep cultivating it to keep more joy coming back to you, even when you are enduring difficult situations. Here is my question to you, what is holding you back from fully receiving joy into your life? Let’s talk about it.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout Podcast. Today we're going to start another three-part series.
0:18.8	This one, all about how to opt into your inheritance.
0:23.0	If you've been a listener to this podcast or even just listening for the first time or
0:28.6	the first couple times, you will notice that I use language such as opting out of struggle,
0:34.5	opting out of unhealthy behaviors, and how to opt into healthy and rewarding
0:39.7	behaviors instead. I talk a lot about how there is a myth around being a black woman
0:46.4	that is centered on struggle, that our inheritance, our legacy is somehow that we must toil,
0:56.2	we must suffer, we must struggle.
1:00.9	And I really believe that's a lie.
1:01.7	No, no.
1:03.3	I know it's a lie.
1:13.5	And that instead, the inheritance for black women, when I look around at us and I look at what our true legacy is, I know our legacy is the exact opposite. It is joy. It is abundance. It is love. It is community. And so this week,
1:23.5	I'm going to talk about how to opt into our inheritance with a three-part series about
1:28.8	how to opt into joy, how to opt into abundance, and how to opt into community.
1:35.4	Now, to be clear, I mentioned far more things that were in our inheritance than those three,
1:41.1	but I want to focus in on them for the next week. So for the next week,
1:46.6	the next three episodes, really, whenever you're listening to this, you're going to learn how
1:51.3	to opt into those qualities. And today we're going to start with how to opt into joy.
1:59.7	I am so excited about the series.
2:02.5	I'm so excited to talk about these things.
2:04.6	You can hear it in my voice, I hope.
2:07.6	That joy is our inheritance as black women.
