Ever been told to 'keep a stiff upper lip' or 'remain strong' in the face of adversity? What if, instead, we acknowledged our pain and allowed ourselves room for self-care? We're taking a deeper look at a powerful quote by Zora Neale Hurston, "If you are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say you enjoyed it." This conversation examines the burden of silent suffering, challenging the idealization of the 'strong woman' and emphasizing the significance of shared struggles and self-care.

As we approach 2024, we're shifting our focus to empowerment and the importance of raising our voices against societal pressures, discrimination, and oppression, particularly for women and people of color. We're urging you to join us in a collective effort to spark change, while also highlighting the importance of self-worth and self-care. Let's dive into the new year with a fresh perspective, prioritizing ourselves and setting an example for others. By tuning in, you'll gain valuable insights on self-care, empowerment, and standing up for what's right.
