39. SOUL CARE vs SELF CARE w/ Racial Battle Fatigue: Interview w/ Author & Professor, Janet Stickmon
In episode 39, I sit down with published author and professor Janet Stickmon to discuss soul care versus self-care, especially when it comes to racial battle fatigue. Janet shares openly about her journey through experiencing soul-care after feeling exhausted from work, lived experiences of racial battle fatigue, and returning to play and joy in her life. I trust this episode will help you along your healing and wellness journey. So no matter if you are going for a walk or tuning in curled up on your couch with some tea, this episode will leave you with some gem takeaways.
