Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman

S25E11: How to Maximize Your Job Benefits: PTO Hacks, Sick Day Strategies & Other Perks to Explore


Listen Later

Hey lady! This week Dr. Dom and Terri up the conversation around wellness with a friendly reminder that you are ALWAYS your best investment. The ladies offer up smart advice about utilizing your paid time off, also known as PTO, to help boost your wellness for whatever you may need.

Even if you don’t have a formal PTO employment situation, Terri and Dr. Dom have practical tips on how thorough planning and thinking ahead can help stave off burnout and lead you to the life of your dreams.

There are many emotions and misperceptions about taking time off from work and life obligations. And, those factors can cloud your judgment with what you feel you may need. After all, when you’ve been conditioned to be Superwoman it’s easy to accept nothing less from yourself. But, when the goal is not for you to realize you need time off when your body starts to tell you…or worse starts breaking down from neglect. The goal is to bake in all of the time you need along the way so that you can live your healthiest and most fulfilled life. 
Tune in this week for a roadmap to making sure that you are running on a full tank and offering the best of you to…YOU. 

Lady, we love you and want you to know that you are worthy of divine rest. It’s ok to take a break. You deserve it! 

Quote of the Day:
Taking PTO is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Taking care of yourself is not slacking; it’s strategy. 
– Patrice Harrell-Carter
