Ep 1: The Rule of 200%
Are you pouring everything into your work… and forgetting to pour into yourself?
In the debut episode of Reclaiming HER Leadership, Dr. Tonicia Freeman-Foster breaks down the Rule of 200%—a powerful mindset shift that challenges high-achieving women to stop treating self-care like an afterthought.
Through honest storytelling and thoughtful reflection, Dr. Freeman-Foster calls out a painful pattern: the more toxic and dysfunctional a workplace becomes, the more we tend to overwork in hopes of fixing it. However, no amount of late nights or self-sacrifice will make a harmful environment healthy.
This episode is an invitation to reclaim your energy, your time, and your priorities.
You’ll hear:
- Why overworking in unsafe spaces is more common than you think?
- How hustle culture can mask deeper wounds and unresolved questions?
- Why your well-being deserves double the effort you give to your job?
- What proactive self-care actually looks like in a busy, demanding life?
