| 0:12.2 | Kelly here. |
| 0:13.1 | And today I'm excited to bring you my conversation with Achille King. |
| 0:17.3 | First and foremost, Achille King is a huge fan and supporter of the podcast. She is someone who has |
| 0:24.0 | been shouting out the podcast and talking about the podcast for a long time. And when I saw her |
| 0:30.5 | posting about it on social media and tagging Black Girl Burnout on Instagram, I was like, |
| 0:35.7 | hey, Achille, hi. And then I saw what she did just organically and said, |
| 0:41.1 | you need to come on the podcast. And so that is how Achille King came to be on this week's |

She has written one poetry book called Awakening and hopes to write many more. |

| 2:09.6 | One, because I want to feature people who really buy into the opt-out mission and who are living |
| 2:16.5 | beautifully rich aligned lives. We all need to know what is |
| 2:21.2 | possible. We intersect the things that we love. We opt out of struggle and instead step into |
