Episode 5 is exploring self-care, emphasizing its personal nature and the importance of daily practices alongside larger goals. We debunk the misconception that self-care is selfish, arguing that it is critical for overall health and well-being. Various aspects of self-care are discussed, including physical, spiritual, mental, and interpersonal wellness. The conversation also covers the importance of rest, routine, and preventative healthcare as forms of self-care. We share personal experiences to illustrate the challenges and joys of establishing consistent self-care practices in our lives, and how that may start to change as we get older.

This episode's Tap In or Tap Out? features a listener's question about the dynamics of friendship in the workplace, and conflicts she has experienced. We acknowledge that while shared experiences as Black women can create a sense of community, individual differences may lead to varying workplace dynamics. Our discussion highlights the value of openness but also the reality that not all interactions will lead to close connections, reminding the listener that its always on a case by case basis, and how it may not always be "Black Girl Magic" when it comes to working with other black women.
