09-13-2025 -Unapologetically Me: A Season of Self-Care

Author: KMOJ-89.9 FM “The People’s Station” September 22, 2025 Duration: 58:15

This season, we’re not apologizing for taking care of ourselves. Too often, we feel guilty for resting, for saying no, or for putting our mental health first. But let’s be clear—self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. You can’t show up strong for your family, your community, or your purpose if you’re running on empty.

Fall is about release and renewal. Just like the leaves let go, it’s time to drop the guilt, shed the weight of overextending, and step into a season of unapologetic self-prioritization. Protect your peace, recharge your spirit, and walk boldly into these new beginnings—because your well-being comes first.”


From the studios of KMOJ-89.9 FM “The People’s Station” in Minneapolis comes KMOJ's Community Viewpoint, a series of conversations rooted in nearly five decades of community connection. This podcast extends the station's legacy beyond the radio dial, creating a dedicated space for discussions that matter deeply to the communities of color it serves. Each episode delves into the issues, stories, and perspectives that directly impact collective health and well-being, from local initiatives to broader cultural shifts. You’ll hear authentic dialogue that reflects the lived experiences of the community, fostering understanding and highlighting paths forward. The tone is informed by the station's long history, having first gone on the air in 1976, and carries the same commitment to being a genuine resource. Tuning into this podcast means engaging with the ongoing narrative of a resilient and vibrant community, exploring topics across education, culture, and society with depth and nuance. It’s more than just a broadcast; it’s a continuing conversation for and by the people, capturing the contemporary pulse of urban life and community advocacy through thoughtful, necessary dialogue.
