Hey Friends & Kin!
FYI: THIS, JUST LIKE ALL EPISODES OF HAND ME MY PURSE, CONTAINS PROFANITY. THIS PODCAST IS FOR ADULTS AND CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT. Now that we've gotten that out of the way...
_________
First of all – HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s been a minute, friends & kin, but I’M BACK BABY!!! Sis was on some ol’ other ish. I was DEEP in the trenches of life, trying to navigate celebrating some really MAJOR things that should be celebrated and deal with heavy grief + just regular ol' LIFE = being ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMED. However, I'm back and working hard to climb out of the muck into the sunshine!
In this episode I am looking at a different way to approach new year’s resolutions and goals and a real serious look at compassion fatigue vs. burnout – they are NOT THE SAME! I share how to identify compassion fatigue as well as some strategies for dealing & healing with the condition. And yes it is a condition. I also discuss why I have decided to focus on RADICAL JOY in 2023. When you are on the brink of being extremely overwhelmed – you gotta go hard in the paint. No light work, just LIGHT WORK… You see what I did there?
The Straight Facts question for this episode is SPICY! And it's from a brother! I love when the fellas ask questions, but this one is rather messy. I was excited to respond. Thanks Jamal from Philly!
We Got To Do Better: “When I dare to be powerful — to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”
-Audre Lorde
What have my friends + kin been up to?
"GO WHERE YOU ARE LOVED. NOT WHERE YOU ARE TOLERATED..."
