Cookie Lyon didn't just wake up one morning thinking, "I got sh*t to prove".  Her lived experiences pushed her into that space.

Although you've probably never given it much thought, the same holds true for you. Your need to prove yourself is rooted in your lived experiences dating back to childhood.

In today's episode of Uncaping, Unmasking, and Unhiding "featuring" Cookie Lyon,  we're taking a look at a few of the things that pushed her into the "people proving" space. Our hope is that you will recognize your people proving behavior and start taking steps to heal the wounded places in you.  

We also took a look at the magic that happens when Black women heal in community. If you find yourself in this episode or previous episodes, please consider joining us in the Sista Circle of Healing. The next cohort starts November 9th. 

Tune in now, and when you're finished we would love to see your face in the Shades of Strong Facebook Community where you can connect with other Black women and have open and honest discussions about things that concern us individually and collectively. This is a safe space where we can lean on each other in times of trouble and unrest, and dance with each other in times of celebration.
