About This Episode
The myth of Black women is that we are impermeable. The image of the strong African American woman – resilient, driven to succeed, devoted to those around her – is rooted in generations of history. Many women see it as a proud legacy that helps shield them from the insults of entrenched discrimination.
But health-wise, that shield might be a double-edged sword. This narrow lens has created a dis-ease in our way of being.
In today’s episode, my guest Cassandra Dunbar and I go a step further as she shares and talks openly about how the black Superwoman syndrome led to her burnout. She also includes her perspective as a medical doctor and the impacts of this ideology on us as black women.
Tune in to learn more about:
- What is the black Superwoman syndrome with a medical perspective.
- How stress and autoimmune diseases are related.
- How being a black Superwoman impacted Cassandre firsthand.
- How our culture and religion shape us from a very young age.
- How letting your body and mind rest and rejuvenate can help you work more productively and more efficiently.
- Some of the areas that the black Superwoman syndrome shows up in our lives and our relationships and the impact that it has on us.
- Why the black woman rarely asks for help.
- How to improve our communication skills.
- The importance of therapists and why women should embrace their services.
- What Cassandra did to overcome burnout and take back control of her life.
…and so much more!
