In this episode, we will be talking about fear. We will talk about what it is, how it holds us back, how we can move past it, and how we can kick it in the face! I’ll also be sharing some of my own fears and the work I am doing to overcome them, as well as some practical advice on how you identify your own fears, how those fears impact your decision making and what you can do to conquer them.

I make references to the following blog in this episode.

In this episode we will be talking about the Sojourner Syndrome or Superwoman Schema as it is better known. We follow the research of Dr. Cheryl L. Woods-Giscombé, RN, Assistant Professor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and review her paper titled “Superwoman Schema: African American Women’s Views on Stress, Strength, and Health” published in the Qualitative Health Research Journal.

We discuss her five (5) characterizations for the Superwoman Role, and four (4) contextual factors that contribute to the Superwoman Role. You can read the full paper here.

We discuss my suggestions for ways to change our behaviors so that we can live healthier lives and move away from trying to be Superwoman.

Finally, listeners are asked to engage in a bit of self-reflection and answer the following questions and share their stories with me.

Are you or have you ever suffered from the Superwoman complex?

What have been the implications (mental, physical, emotional) of trying to be Superwoman?

Has your upbringing played a role in your perception of having to be Superwoman? How so?

What steps can you take to break the habit of trying to do everything and be everyone to the people in your personal and professional life?

In this episode, we explore the concept of Psychological Capital (PsyCap). Generally understood under the acronym HERO, PsyCap is an individual’s positive psychological state of development that is characterized by Hope, Efficacy, Resiliency, andOptimism

We deep dive into each of the PsyCap components to understand the importance of each and how they impact our ability to be successful in both our personal and professional lives and our ability to be effective leaders. In understanding PsyCap we take ownership of the development of our psychological resources.

In our first full episode, we take it back to the basics and discuss The Self.

Specifically, we talk about my model for self-reflection. Spelled SCWEEP and pronounced sweep as in sweeping a broom, we explore the notions of self-concept, self-worth, self-efficacy, self-esteem and self-perceptions. How we view ourselves most often, unconsciously, and sometimes consciously, is projected to and onto others. It is important as people in general, but especially as leaders that we have a full understanding of how our feelings about ourselves impact our feelings toward others, and in turn dictates our behavior toward them. If we are not honest with ourselves about who we are, how can we be genuine and authentic in our leadership of others? Take the time to listen, reflect, and do a mental SCWEEP!
