74. BONUS: Losing Work, Losing Breath

What happens when the wind gets knocked out of you—not just once, but over and over again? In this raw and restorative IMPOSTRIX PODCAST LIVE conversation, Ruth C. White, PhD MPH MSW RSW joins me to breathe through the realities Black women face navigating job uncertainty, burnout, and the emotional labor of survival in a world that rarely makes space for our breath. From layoffs and grant rejections to the silence required to "stay professional," we talk about what it means to lose work, lose breath, and still show up. We explore how burnout feels in the body, the exhaustion of code-switching, and the quiet grief of not getting to finish what we started. 🌟 But this episode isn’t just about struggle—it’s about strategy and sisterhood. Together, we imagine what recovery could look like: joy as resistance, rest as reparations, and productivity redefined on our terms. 👑 If you’ve been holding your breath, waiting for the next blow—this one’s for you.
