In this heartfelt episode, host Syrie D opens up about hitting burnout and the powerful reminder she found in Dr. Keita Joy’s TED Talk, “Mental Health is Declining and Black Women are Hit the Hardest.” This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and remember that Black women are allowed to be both strong and soft — bold and still in need of rest.

Syrie shares her personal journey navigating bipolar depression and anxiety, and how Dr. Joy’s words gave her permission to simply breathe. Tune in for a message of healing, vulnerability, and truth — because just like the quote says, “Just because we’re magic doesn’t mean we’re not real.” 💎
