Are you holding up everyone else at your own expense? In this episode, I talk with Noni Vaughn-Pollard, NDTR, MHC-LP about unlearning perfectionism and: 

• Finding those safe spaces to receive support  

• The unique challenges of sensitive black girls  

• Giving yourself permission to be soft and sensitive when you need to  

• The impact of superwoman syndrome 

• Navigating internal and external messages that block your intuition and true calling 

Noni is a mental health counselor and nutritionist in New York who focuses on empowering Black adolescent girls by boosting their self-esteem. She also supports sensitive adolescents & young adults of color dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, and relationship challenges.
