Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast.

Kelly here.

And today we're continuing our conversation with Shantay Grant.

We talked a little bit about how she arrived to this incredible business she has, where she creates planners and helps people have a great relationship with time management.

But I also wanted to find out a little bit more about how she centers joy professionally for herself.

And so I want you to check out the conversation as we continue and we hear all about how Shantay Grant keeps joy in her professional life.

For a long time, I've been a rider to run it hideers, and I took the blame.

Okay, we are back with Shantay Grant having this fantastic conversation this week all about how we can kind of opt out a struggle and how we can live lives that are not overwhelming.

And as you say, with intention, that's really the core of what you talk about, Shantay.

And so we talked about previously how you have as an individual opted out,

how you do that as a business owner, how you turned your story of the opt out really into a

business. And so I wanted to really know a little bit more about, I think as black women,

we are, we do really well at achieving. And I think we're just high achieving folks and entrepreneurial and also like crushing it in

corporate spaces and helping professions.

But I don't know that a lot of us talk about life and work life with joy.

And I think just like there's an expectation that, you know, adulthood just sucks.

Part of what makes adulthood suck is work. And there's this expectation that professional lives

are maybe ones filled with money, maybe ones filled with accolades. Some of us don't get any of that.

But I mean, they may be filled with that, right?

Yeah.

But they're not places or centers of joy.

You don't go to work to be joyful, right?
