This episode explores the radical power of rest and self-care as acts of liberation, especially for Black professionals navigating systemic barriers and chronic stress. Inspired by insights from mental wellness advocate Louise Hopkinsbey, we examine why prioritizing wellbeing is not selfish but essential, and how intentional rest, culturally responsive self-care practices, and compassionate community support can transform both individual lives and entire communities. Tune in for practical strategies, inspiring stories, and a reminder that your right to rest and healing is non-negotiable—because your worth is inherent, not earned.
