Have you ever considered how the 'Strong Black Woman' trope you've been fed over generations might be hindering your ability to truly relax and enjoy soft living? In this fascinating episode of Sister Find Yourself, I, Corky Nelson, explore this question and share my own experiences as a young nurse witnessing the contrast in mental health practices among women of different ethnicities. The journey begins with a discussion on soft living - a lifestyle of comfort and minimal challenges, often mistaken as a product of wealth and luxury. However, in reality, it's a profound way to liberate ourselves from unnecessary stress and obligations.

The dialogue extends to the significance of embracing femininity for a more relaxed, softer life. You'll hear how generations of women have been operating out of necessity or scarcity, resulting in behaviours that are not in sync with our natural order. Whether it's about the importance of opposites attracting, finding an equally yoked partner, or the crucial role of communication, all aspects are thoughtfully dissected. Finally, be prepared to get busy with a unique homework assignment that emphasizes self-care, boundary-setting, and authentically living your best life. So, join me on this empowering journey that aims to change how we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

Generational trauma is the trauma that extends from one generation to the next. It occurs when a group (race, family, nation, etc.) experience traumatic events that cause economic, cultural, and familial distress. Physical and psychological symptoms develop over a period of time.

Today's episode delves into the intersectionality of generational trauma and domestic violence. DV is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner.

As a domestic violence survivor, this is a brief glimpse into the world I lived for almost 18 years. I have no problem with being completely transparent with my story. My hope is that my willingness to be transparent can be transformative for someone still living this nightmare.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND DON'T HAVE TO FACE THIS ALONE.
GET HELP. GET OUT. FIND YOURSELF AGAIN

By definition, competition is the act or process of trying to get or win something (a prize or a higher level of success) that some else is also trying to get or win. Healthy competition can be a great thing. It can bolster:

• self improvement
• increase productivity (especially in work and/or academics)
• can lift you to your highest potential

...But when it's toxic it's TOXIC!

As members of the sisterhood, we must remember that TOGETHER WE THRIVE! Sisterhood teaches us the importance and benefit of 

• empathy over callousness
• understanding over confusion
• inclusivity over excluding
• collaboration over resistance

Let's check ourselves to develop a better understanding as to why we compete and compare in the first place.  I'm a firm believer in our innate ability to support one another. In doing so, we're able to share the light and darkest parts of our journey.
