Burnout is real, and for Black women, it can feel like a constant shadow. The world tells us to grind, hustle and hold it all together, often at the expense of our well-being. But what if I told you burnout doesn’t have to be your destiny?


That’s exactly why the Space for Sistas® Podcast exists—a safe space for Black women to prioritize their health, connect through sisterhood, and navigate life’s complexities together. Think of it like going to brunch with your besties—deep life lessons, laughter, and actionable gems to level up.


With the host, Dr. Dominique Pritchett, tuning into this podcast can be a game-changer for your wellness journey:


1. Rest & Healing Is a Birthright—Not Earned

As Black women, many of us were taught to work twice as hard to prove our worth. Rest? That was something you earned after crossing off every item on your to-do list. But let me tell you: rest is not a reward—it’s a necessity.

The unique stressors we face, from workplace microaggressions to societal expectations, make prioritizing rest and healing even more important.

Research shows that chronic stress can have devastating effects on both physical and mental health, particularly in Black women.


Healing starts when you give yourself permission to rest unapologetically. It’s not selfish—it’s survival. And in this re-launch episode of the podcast, I share my own journey of recovering from burnout, reminding you that rest and healing belong to you.


2. Practical Wellness Tools Can Change Your Life

Let’s keep it real: self-care isn’t always candles and bubble baths. It’s about finding what works for you—tools that fit your lifestyle and help you thrive.


Whether it’s setting boundaries, journaling, or scheduling time for yourself, small but intentional practices can have a huge impact. Research supports simple wellness techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, and regular movement as effective ways to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.


In every episode of the Space for Sistas® Podcast, we'll share practical strategies to help you navigate life while prioritizing your mental and emotional health.


These aren’t just tips—they’re actionable gems you can start using today.


3. We All Need Spaces Where We Are Seen and Heard

Black women are often celebrated for being strong, resilient, and resourceful. But let’s be honest—sometimes, being “the strong one” feels more like a burden than a blessing.


Who shows up for you when you need a shoulder to lean on?


That’s where sisterhood comes in. Community is powerful, and safe spaces where you feel seen, heard, and valued are essential for your healing and growth. That’s what Space for Sistas® is all about—a movement to amplify your voice, share your story, and remind you that you don't have to be alone.


Let’s Take This Journey Together

The Space for Sistas® Podcast is more than just a podcast—it’s a community, a movement, and a reminder that your well-being is worth fighting for. Whether you’re navigating burnout, seeking inspiration, or just looking for relatable conversations, this space was created for you.


Sis, join me in this re-launch episode as we dive into my personal story of healing and share gems to help you thrive. It’s raw, real, and a powerful reminder that your wellness isn’t just important—it’s essential.
