| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here. And today I want to close out the week as I started it with a mantra. |
| 0:19.0 | For a little phrase, you can take with you to close out your week. On Monday, |
| 0:24.1 | the mantra was, it's goodness or get out. And we're going to close this week by saying the phrase, |
| 0:32.0 | take your trash with you. So I'm going to unpack today what it means to take your trash with you, how I'm using |
