In this nourishing conversation, we sit down with author and creator Hannah Eko to explore what it means to choose bliss in a world that glorifies burnout. Drawing from her book Honey Is the Knife, Hannah unpacks how Black women can transform wounds into wisdom and reclaim pleasure as both a birthright and a spiritual practice. Together, they explore the beauty of softness as protection, and how embracing joy can be a radical, healing act.If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting ease or joy, this episode is your permission slip to rest, feel, and return to yourself.In this episode we discuss:<ul><li>Why choosing bliss is not escapism, but a form of resistance and liberation</li><li>The importance of curating environments that allow Black women to stay soft and whole</li><li>Hannah’s journey from self-sacrifice to self-honoring — and what being a “punk spiritualist” really means</li><li>How pleasure connects us to our ancestors and offers a pathway to healing generational pain</li><li>Reframing wellness: moving beyond constant self-improvement toward true self-acceptance</li></ul>Connect with Hannah:Website: hannaheko.comInstagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/hannah.eko" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @hannah.eko</a>Substack: hannahekwrites.substack.comConnect with Be Well, Sis:Instagram –<a href="https://www.instagram.com/bewellsis_podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @bewellsis_podcast</a>Substack – <a href="http://bewellsis.substack.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bewellsis.substack.com</a>Follow, rate, and share this episode!We’re supporting St Jude’s- head over to <a href="http://www.stjude.org/bewellsis" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.stjude.org/bewellsis</a> right now and sign up to be a monthly donor.
