| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast. |
| 0:14.7 | Kelly here. |
| 0:15.9 | And today we're going to talk about how to opt into patients. |
| 0:20.3 | This one is a very difficult concept for me. |
| 0:24.8 | Anybody who knows me knows I am not the most patient person ever to walk the face of the earth, |
| 0:32.6 | and I have spent my entire life, it seems, in a rush. |
| 0:38.5 | To my own detriment, to my own burnout, to my own emotional pain, and sometimes even physical. |

| 1:59.1 | belief that you've planted the seeds of what you needed, |
| 2:02.7 | and now you're just waiting for it to harvest. |
| 2:06.6 | And that joy and that abundance is coming to you. |
| 2:10.1 | So we're going to talk today about the importance of patience, how we can cultivate some |
