More often than not, high-achieving black women wear the armor of everything being okay as a response to negative life experiences. And unfortunately, most keep this facade up until it’s too late. But it’s okay not to be okay! It’s totally okay to be vulnerable and openly express your innermost feelings.
In today’s episode, Kathleen addresses the high-achieving woman. If you forget everything else you hear, she wants you to understand that it’s human to not be okay, and more humane to share how you feel. Consider this episode a wake-up call to embrace self-compassion and ask for help
