0:00.0	Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here.
0:13.1	And today I want to talk about how to opt out of self betrayal.
0:17.3	This is a topic that's near and dear to my heart.
0:19.8	I talk a lot about burnout and in my time, both in this podcast and outside of my podcast,
0:25.2	and what I always say is that burnout is all about betrayal.
0:29.6	It is betrayal of self and it is betrayal of the systems of work around us that create dynamics that make us betray ourselves. But burnout isn't just a

2:13.4	And I will be honest, I could not say that two and three years ago.
2:17.9	Even in a job that was quote unquote a good job, I often felt like I was having to compromise
2:26.4	parts of myself, hide pieces of myself, play off as politics in a way that didn't feel good,
