10/09/24 • 14 min
Hey Friend,
Ever found yourself with a full calendar, caught between the exhilaration of passionate work and the challenge of maintaining your inner equilibrium? This week, I, Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson, dive into that very experience, sharing personal anecdotes, including a heartwarming reunion with a former student that reminded me of the joy found in genuine connections.
In this episode titled "Protecting Your Brilliance: Balancing Passion and Self-Care," I explore not just the dynamic of pouring through passion, but also the critical importance of safeguarding your unique brilliance. It's vital to ensure it stays vibrant, even under the pressures of a hectic schedule. We'll discuss how separating passion from identity is essential for maintaining balance and avoiding burnout, especially for introverts who require quiet emotional and social rejuvenation.
Join me as I reveal strategies for integrating self-care into your life as a non-negotiable element of sustaining your brilliance. Reflect on the power of surrounding yourself with a supportive community to help fill your own cup and continue sharing your gifts without depleting your reserves. Through intentional choices, like choosing rest over social obligations, we'll uncover how to protect our inherent power and significance.
Let’s embark on this journey of self-reflection together and rediscover the love and support that truly surround us. Remember, our brilliance isn’t just a byproduct of our passions—it’s a core part of who we are.
Love Always,
PBJ

Hey Friend,
What if the journey to discover our true selves, commonly sparked in our twenties, doesn't just wrap up as we approach midlife? This week, join me, Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson, as we delve into the ongoing transitions from quarter-life dilemmas to midlife reflections—a path familiar to many millennials.
In this episode titled "Beyond the Quarter-Life Crisis: Embracing Midlife with Brilliance," I share personal experiences from navigating the turbulent waters of a quarter-life crisis, where the quest for purpose persists even amidst professional accomplishments. It’s common to face unmet expectations in careers and relationships, leading to deep-seated frustrations. Together, we’ll explore the struggle to recognize the unique brilliance that has always been within us, though often overlooked.
