Summary

As the end of the year approaches, it's time to talk about something crucial: taking time off. In this episode of Brown Girl Self-Care, Bre is breaking down why Black women need to prioritize their health by using their personal time off (PTO), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and short-term disability. Many of us let our PTO go unused or feel guilty about asking for time away from work—but not taking time for yourself has real consequences. In 2024 we are going to lay claim toL the time we are leaving on the table.
