Emotional to do list - what are all the things keeping you from a good nights rest? List them out Nap! - naps are empirically supported when it comes to reducing stress. Take a short sleep break to rest and recharge. If you’re not a napper, take this time to knock out something on that emotional to do list. Joy activity - get outside and do one thing that brings you joy. Outline what you need to not burn out - how can i tell when i am not functioning at my best? How can i tell when work is taking over my life? How can i notice stress before it gets critical? What am I unmotivated to do? (Do I have to do it?) Your favorite thing - end your day with one of your favorite things. Whatever it is, make space to end your mental health day with a dopamine boost!

Money is back this week talking a tea to help calm your nerves, which was much needed after hearing that WNBA star (and lesbian heartthrob) and 2x Olympic Gold Medalist Brittney Griner has been detained in Russia for over 3 weeks. I talk my understandings of what's going on, what scares me about the timing of her detainment, and hopes for her safe return home (timestamp in the description for this discussion). Gloria Anzaldua is QueerWOC of the week this week and her words were a much needed and timely reminder of what we face as QWOC. #FreeBG #FreeBrittney #FreeBrittneyGriner Where to find us: IG & Twitter - @queerwocpod FB - https://www.facebook.com/QueerWOCpod/ Tumblr - www.QueerWOC.com Listen to us on Spotify, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Castbox, PocketCasts Contribute to QueerWOC via CashApp: $QueerWOCPod Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/queerwocpod Rate, Review, Request, Repost, Retweet, and Reply!

A trauma bond - also known as a bond of trauma, abusive bonding,, traumatic love, traumatic bonding, or Stockholm syndrome is a dynamic that occurs in the context of abusive relationships. It happens when the person inflicting exploitation, violence, or another type of trauma becomes an essential part of the persons life who is experiencing this trauma. So what are people trying to get at by misusing the term? How to share without "dumping" on someone: ACTION Ask consent - I would like to share something hard with you, do you have the capacity to hear it? Check in as you share - I know this is hard to hear, are you okay? Tell them what you need or how you are healing- Inquire about them - so I just shared a lot but I would love to hear about you Open up about other things- I also love pottery Notice how you feel sharing - were you ready to share? https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/trauma/what-abusers-hope-we-never-learn-about-traumatic-bonding/ Topic 00:35:44 Things I’m thankful happened this year Curved Chronicles 00:47:38 Queer femmes jus different!
