ADHD is not a male disorder, but men and boys are diagnosed far more commonly than women and girls. Let's talk about it.

Guest Feature:

Taylor turned being bad at self-care—and being firmly convinced of every human’s potential—into a career. She’s the founder of media company Inner Workout, and the author of a book by the same name. Recently named one of Fortune’s 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' In fact, the first line of her book, Inner Workout, reads, "This is not an aspirational wellness book." Instead, Inner Workout offers a practical and accessible approach to self-care that meets you where you're at. Her Take Care assessment, which measures well-being across five dimensions, has been taken by thousands of people across the globe. Taylor’s mission is not to change who you are; but rather to strengthen your connection to the wisdom you already have within.

To Honor Them, We Honor Ourselves: Embracing Ease | Kelley Bonner Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

February is here and it's Black History Month! This year, we're doing things a little differently on the Be Well, Sis podcast. We want to honor our ancestors in a unique way - by taking care of ourselves. We'll be exploring how we can use these qualities to create a life that's more fulfilling and meaningful, not just for ourselves, but for those around us as well.

Be sure to tune in every Tuesday for new and insightful episodes featuring brilliant women invested in our collective healing and growth.

Guest Feature:

Kelley Bonner, Expert Company Culture Strategist, Award Winning Podcaster, and Founder of Burn Bright Consulting, transforms workplaces by reducing burnout and bias, resulting in increased innovation and inclusion. She provides a framework for leaders to understand the deeper organizational issues that lead to symptoms of burnout and how to solve them at their core. Having served on the Gender Policy Committee for the White House as well as the International Women’s Economic Security Council, Kelley impacts culture and policy across the globe. She was also hand-picked by the Biden Administration to assist in the development of a national framework for workplace safety and harassment. Kelley has worked with several federal and international organizations to create safer environments and strategies for violence prevention, including the U.S. Military, the Library of Congress, National Academy of Sciences, The United Nations, and NATO.

Unpacking the "Ride or Die" Woman with Shanita Hubbard Dec 20, 2022

Show notes

BE WELL SIS IS NOW ON PATREON!!!! Become a patron for exclusive bonus content! Patreon.com/bewellsis

Guest Feature

Shanita Hubbard has been published in The New York Times, The Huffington Post, The Guardian, Pitchfork, ESSENCE, and a host of other publications. She is also the author of the bestselling book RIDE OR DIE: A Feminist Manifesto for the Well-Being of Black Women.

In this book, she interrogates the notion of the “ride or die chick”—a Black woman who holds down her family and community, often at her own expense. Hubbard argues that this way of life has left Black women exhausted, overworked, overlooked, and feeling depleted. She suggests that Black women are susceptible to this mentality because it’s normalized in our culture. RIDE OR DIE fervently dismantles cultural norms requiring Black women to care for everyone but themselves.

“I am who I am because of other Black women,” Hubbard writes, “so I wrote this book to focus on us and our well-being.”
