183 // Busy is a Four-Letter Word: Saying No, Creating Rituals, and Lessons from the Golden Girls - with Kishshana Palmer

What can the Golden Girls teach us about slowing down, saying “no” gracefully, and finding joy in motherhood? Turns out, quite a bit!

In Kishshana Palmer’s new book Busy is a Four-Letter Word, she draws important lessons about taking off the “badge of busy”, living intentionally, and finding meaning in beauty in our everyday lives through the classic shows The Golden Girls and A Different World.

We chat about how we can gracefully say no, how we can elevate our routines to meaningful rituals, how to find community and thrive as moms, and so much more!

Kishshana is an international speaker, trainer, author, and coach with a 20+ year background in fundraising, marketing, and talent management who helps leaders create high performing teams.

She is CEO of ManageMint, Inc., an organizational development firm focused on helping everyday leaders live well and lead well. Her firm's work centers on equity and social justice and practical solutions for today’s organizations.
