Health Coach 4 Women

In this episode, we tackle the myth of the "Strong Black Woman" and its impact on mental health. Often celebrated as a badge of honor, this stereotype comes with heavy emotional and physical costs that many African American women face daily. We unpack its origins, explore its effects on mental and physical health, and discuss why it's crucial to challenge this narrative for the sake of overall well-being.

Our conversation dives into the importance of prioritizing self-care, recognizing mental health red flags, and breaking the stigma around seeking help in Black communities. We share practical tips for setting boundaries, redefining strength, and embracing vulnerability as a source of power. You'll also hear inspiring stories of women who are rewriting the narrative and leading by example.
