So here's the real tea, friends: Sometimes our busyness is just trauma wearing a fancy productivity costume. We're filling our calendars to avoid dealing with the messy stuff underneath. But you (yes, you) deserve peace. You deserve to breathe. You deserve to put yourself first.

Welcome to Episode 4 of our limited series in partnership with DonorPerfect where we’re creating our very own five-star wellness plans ⭐ - and here's the most important truth: You are allowed to rest.

I see you, sitting at your desk, eating lunch while answering emails, pretending that "I'm fine" smile actually works. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. We're running on coffee fumes and broken dreams, and it's time to stop. So tune in, get reconnected with yourself, and let’s reclaim our peace, joy, and sanity in a world that's constantly demanding more. ✋

Your mental health is non-negotiable. Period.

xo,

Kishshana

Powerful Quotes

"Sometimes busyness is just trauma, playing dress up." -Kishshana

"Your inbox does not define your worth." -Kishshana

"No is a complete sentence. Every time you say yes to something ridiculous, you're saying no to your peace, your time, and honestly, your sanity." -Kishshana

"Your mental wellness and your mental well-being, my friends, it is non-negotiable. And if you're not prioritizing you, then who will?" -Kishshana

"We bury ourselves in our work so that we don't have to deal with what's really going on beneath the surface." -Kishshana

"If it doesn't spark joy or pay my bills, I'm letting it go." -Kishshana

"You deserve the peace that comes out on the other side. You deserve it." -Kishshana
