Listen "The Grind Almost Got Me"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is a raw, heartfelt exploration of what it really looks like to be a high-achieving woman—especially a Black woman—navigating the expectations to have it all, do it all, and never mess up. We talk about the constant pressure to be polished, productive, and prepared, even when you’re running on fumes.From chronic exhaustion that sleep can’t fix to the emotional labor of holding everyone else together, we unpack how burnout and anxiety often show up as irritability, guilt, or detachment. We also dive into the emotional toll of hustle culture, generational expectations, and the “twice as good” mindset—and why rest can feel undeserved, even when it’s desperately needed.But this conversation isn’t just about struggle—it’s about healing in real time. We reflect on what it means to reclaim rest, set boundaries, check in with yourself, and shift from “busy” to aligned. Whether you're running on empty or trying to slow down without losing your fire, this episode is for you.
