Sis, You're Not The Only One Holding It Together
If you’ve ever tried to show up fully as a Black woman, for a Black woman, or in a world that often doesn’t know what to do with your truth, this episode is for you.
This special compilation from Season 1 of The Real Connect Podcast brings together some of the most honest, layered, and revealing moments of the season. It’s about the relationships that shaped us, the boundaries that saved us, and the healing we’re still figuring out in real time.
You’ll hear stories about work, family, mentorship, and survival all which tackles what it feels like to grow up unseen, navigate leadership without support, and relearn how to trust yourself after being burned. It’s about connection, but not the polished kind. The kind that’s earned. Fought for. Chosen.
This episode is a reminder: you don’t have to hold it all alone. We’ve been there too.
Key Takeaways:
1. What happens when Black women stop shrinking and start sharing
2. How to tell the difference between love and control
3. Why healing isn’t a final destination but a daily practice
Watch. Reflect. Pass it on.
