Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast.

Kelly here.

And today I want to talk about myself.

I realize that we have been talking and interviewing with a lot of different women who are

telling their stories and opening up to you all and providing you the tools that they use

to live a happy and joyful life.

And I know that I do that on the regular with the podcast, but one thing I haven't done

is talk about myself a lot. That is intentional. And not so much because I don't want to

share myself with you all, but more so block about myself that I'm still working with.

I really am proud of the success Black Girl

Burnau has had. And I really do see it as a podcast that is for you. And so a lot of the thought

that goes into that is decentering myself from the podcast. But there's a balance to that,

which is that while it's definitely not

the Kelly show in the sense that it's all about me all day long, I do want it to have elements

of the fact that it is me, Kelly, my show. And so I thought this week I would kind of pretend to interview myself in a way.

And I would tell you the answers that I would give if somebody asked me the questions that I

ask others. And so that's what we're going to do this week. This week is going to be all about my own journey to opting out, the way I center joy in my

professional life, and the journey that I've had to center it in my personal.

This is raw and real.

I'm literally sitting in a hotel room doing this episode.

I'm out and about on travel for what I do day to day.
