When was the last time someone called you 'strong'?

And you smiled and said 'thank you' like it was a compliment?

But what if 'strong' isn't the compliment we think it is? What if it's the very thing keeping us sick, tired, and disconnected from our full humanity?

Today, we're talking about the Strong Black Woman myth and why it's literally taking us out! And more importantly, how to break FREE in 2026.

If you've ever felt like you can't show weakness, can't ask for help, can't rest, this episode is for YOU.
