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.
