Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here. And today I want to do something a little

different. I have a guest, but it's not in a traditional sense for Black Girl burnout.

Today, I want to have a former guest, but really a not in a traditional sense for Black Girl burnout. Today, I want to have a former

guest, but really a friend. And I wanted to talk with Dr. Jeanette Davis about how she creates

the life that she likes and how we both do it. Oftentimes on the podcast, I give a lot of

information and I'm pretty transparent about the fact that I am working on

these goals, on these mindset shifts, just as much as you are. And so I thought it might be helpful

to have a sneak peek of what it looks like in my community with black women and the kind of

conversations we have and the fact that a lot of these conversations are the driving force for

the podcast. Jeanette has been a dear friend for me for a few years now. We met while working at

the same place and we initially didn't think we would be friends. And yet fast forward nearly five

years later and we are a huge part of each other's

lives. We talk about how we create a peaceful, joyful, motivating, and supportive community

for ourselves, for each other, and most importantly, how we create lives

that we like. I thought this episode might be helpful as like a special summer bonus as we talk

about really practical ways in our day-to-day life that we create these mindset shifts,

where we put the talk into the walk. So enjoy. Happy summer. I hope you are

enjoying yours. I hope you're finding some joy and enjoy a little longer than normal episode

of Black Girl burnout as we talk about how my friend and I, Jeanette Davis, Dr. Ocean,

create the life that we like.

Hey, Jeanette, I'm always excited to talk to you. I tell people all the time, like a majority of RBGB conversations that I create for the podcast come out of conversations with you. So I thought it'd be good to talk about what you and I talked about, not even like a week ago. We talked about what it would be like if you just liked your life. And you were the one that kicked us off by saying that. And I was like, ooh, I'm writing that down. And I'm going to do a podcast episode on that.

And here we are. It's the week of that podcast. Yay, we're here. We get to share with others. So welcome back, friend of the show, Dr. Ocean, Dr. Jeanette Davis. And we're going to get right into it. We're going to, this is going to be a relaxed episode. I keep telling everyone, August for me is about fun and about joy and enjoyment.
