| Pressing Pause: The Realities of Podcasting | 20 Jan 2026 | 00:45:49 | |
In this episode, we open up about the moment we realized it was time to step back from the mic. Not because the passion was gone, but because life was speaking louder than the recording schedule. We talk through the signs that told us we needed a break, the internal tug‑of‑war between “keep going” and “slow down,” and the clarity that came once we finally chose rest with intention. We’re joined by two incredible guests — Queen M and Queen K — who share their own journeys with stepping away. Queen M reflects on what it meant to pause during a season of transition and how giving herself space helped her reconnect with purpose. Queen K opens up about balancing caregiving, social work, and her own well‑being, and how taking a break became an act of self‑preservation rather than self‑doubt. Together, we explore:
If you’ve ever wrestled with the decision to slow down — especially when your work is rooted in service, creativity, and community — this conversation offers honesty, companionship, and a reminder that rest is not a retreat. It’s a recalibration. You can find Queen M on IG @styleandvibes and Queen K @carryonfriends. Social workers of color face immense challenges—systemic racism, underfunding, and overwhelming caseloads.
