Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here.

And this week continues our conversation with Christine Joe, business strategist, and host of the Flourish in the Foreign podcast.

Now, earlier in the week, you heard us talk about how Christine is opting out a struggle and how she's been able to do that starting in college all the way to how she's living her life now.

But this is the part of the conversation where we shift into finding out how people are

accessing our inheritance as black women, how they are accessing joy.

And today we're going to talk about how Christine accesses joy in her professional life.

It's a very moving and inspiring conversation about how

she's created a truly incredible life for herself. As always, the information for how to connect

with Christine is going to be in the show notes, as well as the link to her podcast, Flourish in the

foreign. All right, let's get into it. All right. So we are back with Christine Job from Flourish in the Foreign. All right, let's get into it. All right. So we are back with

Christine Job from Flourish in the Foreign, the podcast about helping women cultivate a life

well lived via living abroad. And we talked about in the last episode your kind of journey to

opting out, that it wasn't neat,

it wasn't linear, and that even when you in some ways opted out, there were still

struggles that you had because you had it fully, you said, opted into team Christine.

And so the setup here for you is, as you know, in the podcast, we talk about if we're

rejecting cultural

and historical myths and a legacy that tells us that we're meant to struggle and meant to be

exhausted and meant to just be heavy and weighed down by our legacy, that if we reject that,

we have to replace it with something. And so our true legacy, our true inheritance as black women, is one of joy, is one of abundance

and community and just a life of beauty.

And so how did opting into Team Christine help you access those qualities in your life?
