  • is it quiet quitting or are we just finally being realistic about our bandwidth at work? šŸ« 

    in this weekā€™s episode, we dive deep into the concepts of decentering work, quiet quitting, and bouncing back after being laid off. we start by exploring the phenomenon of quiet quittingā€”what it is, why it happens, and whether it's just a matter of doing what you're paid to do.

    we'll share practical tips on how to achieve this by creating a value system independent of your job title, engaging in hobbies, prioritizing self-care, and investing in personal development. and of course, youā€™ll hear from our host, Priscilla O. Agyeman, MPH on her own journey after being laid off, as well as valuable resources and related episodes to support you on your #corporatebaddie journey.

  • Buckle up baddies, weā€™re taking accountability for our actions to deepen our relationships and self awareness. If youā€™ve ever asked yourself, ā€œam I the problem??ā€ this oneā€™s for you. No one is perfect, and weā€™d be lying if we said we never questioned our own contribution in causing the ā€œdramaā€ that happens naturally within our relationship dynamics and community.

    In this weekā€™s episode, we discuss:

    How to tell if you might need to practice more accountability and self-awarenessWhy weaponizing ā€œtherapy speakā€ can be a pitfall for our personal growthHow to start doing ā€œthe workā€ or deepen our commitment to our healing journey by choosing culturally relevant healing tools, teachers, and guides
