Episode Details

In this deeply affirming and liberating episode of Black Girl Burnout, Kelley continues the powerful three-part series on healing your money mindset in professional spaces. Today’s focus: how to trust yourself when advocating for what you're worth—especially when others try to gaslight you out of your value. If you've ever asked, “Am I being too sensitive?” this episode will help you find your answer—and your power.

💡 Today You’ll Learn:

• How professional gaslighting shows up—especially for Black women
• Why your intuition is a valid and essential part of your decision-making
• How to stop over-explaining your worth and start owning your value
• Tools to recover and reclaim your peace after boundary violations at work

This episode is a call to honor your emotional truth, set clear boundaries around compensation, and stop justifying your value. You are not asking for too much. You are asking for what you deserve.

✨ Episode Highlights:

01:00 Why advocating for money is really about power

07:00 How microaggressions and coded language can cause self-doubt

10:45 Why feelings are data, not drama—and how to trust them

13:00 What to do after workplace gaslighting (journal, rewrite, and rest)

You’re not too sensitive—you’re finally paying attention. And that awareness is your superpower. Let this episode be your reminder: clarity is not conflict, and your needs are not negotiable.
