Tired and Strugglin’: A FARE Update
I’m seven episodes into 2020 and I’m struggling. This isn’t a normal episode. In this episode, I get honest about what is going on with me and what I’m learning– in my new gig, in producing this podcast, and in life in general.
I hope this is helpful. If it’s not, charge it to the game.
Love,
FARE

This Ain’t It: Reclaiming Identity After Workplace Burnout with Lisa Hurley Pt. 1
Have you ever looked around at your job, your life, and thought, “This ain’t it”?
In this deeply personal and energizing conversation, Felicia sits down with author, activist, and Reiki Master Lisa Hurley to talk about her new book, Space to Exhale — a guide to healing from the inside out after the grind of corporate life has worn you down.
Lisa shares her own journey of identity loss, job trauma, and spiritual exhaustion — and how she found her way back to joy, softness, and sovereignty. From navigating layoffs and toxic managers to redefining self-worth outside of titles and roles, this episode is a must-listen for every Black woman trying to hold it together in systems designed to tear us down.
If you’re tired of holding your breath at work, wondering how you even got here, this conversation is your reminder to pause, breathe, and begin again — on your own terms.
In this episode, we unpack:
- Why your job title is not your identity
- How burnout disconnects you from your purpose
- The pressure to “make your parents proud” — and at what cost
- The emotional toll of constantly code-switching
- What it means to love yourself through the unraveling
- How to reclaim your voice, body, and energy after surviving toxic workplaces
Plus: Felicia shares how corporate gaslighting and PIPs shaped her own journey, and why she stopped smiling through the pain. And Lisa? Let’s just say she’s got a fairy wand, a tutu, and some radical truth to sprinkle on your spirit.
This is part one of a two-part series with Lisa Hurley. Make sure to catch Part 2 dropping next week.
