Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast.

Kelly here.

And this episode is going to be all about letting go of what no longer serves you.

Maybe you're at the end of the year and you're thinking about the things you

don't want to bring with you into next year. Maybe you're starting a new relationship or you want

to start a new relationship and you're having difficulty moving on or you've moved on but you're

afraid you're going to bring in the old hurts and disappointments from your last one.

Maybe there's a big dream that you have, that you want to chase or a new beginning, whether as a

job or a parent, and you want to make sure you're giving it your best. So you want to let go of

the things that may weigh you down. No matter what your reason, this episode is for you.

As black women, we, I feel, face more disappointment than probably any other group of people on the planet.

We are constantly attacked, vilified, sexualized. We have

betrayals. We have disappointments. It's not surprising that there may be things that weigh us down.

And it's not surprising that there may be things we hold on to. One of the drivers of burnout is weight,

it's resentments, its emotional burden. If we are weighed down by those things, it quickens burnout.

It makes our lives more difficult and more importantly it takes our joy from us so it is critical

whether you want to release for a new dream or a new goal whether you want to enter into partnership

whole and happy whether you want to start a new job It's important that you do that in a way that you

let go of what no longer serves you so you can wholeheartedly embrace the new phase, a new relationship,

the new dream in your life. To that end, we're going to talk about five ways to do just that.

If you are feeling weighed down by something, by a disappointment, or resentment,

or a missed opportunity or connection, this episode is for you.
