Space To Exhale – with Lisa Hurley
Lisa Hurley talks about her experience as a late-diagnosed autistic Black woman, what inspired her new book "Space To Exhale" and the importance of community and self-care.
Lisa Hurley is an Anthem award-winning activist and author of the new book, “Space To Exhale: A Handbook For Curating A Soft, Centered, Serene Life.” She is also the Founder of The Great Exhale, a serene virtual community focused on sisterhood and soft living, where Black women can relax, lay their burdens down—and exhale. Her advocacy converges at the nexus of self-care, community care, joy, and rest.
During this episode, you will hear Lisa talk about:
- How she realized that she is autistic, and what her life is like as a Black, autistic woman
- How autistic burnout inspired her to write “Space to Exhale,” and the guidance she provides in her book
- The importance of having a community while taking care of yourself
- “Life-Work Balance” vs “Work-Life Balance”
- What it means to prioritize “soft living”
