Do you lack confidence in your abilities?  Do you feel undeserving or that you have earned your place in life due to coincidence?  Do you feel like you’re a fraud and that at any moment, someone can expose you and make your insecurities about how you feel inadequate?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are a victim of imposter syndrome.

Today’s I welcome Mrs. Brittany Johnson, licensed therapist and author to the conversation where she schools us on what imposter syndrome is, where it comes from and how we can overcome it.

Being a Black Woman Creative brings a lot of joy to my life, however, it also brings a lot stress as well.

Can you relate?

Do you fail to speak up when you’re treated badly?  Do you say yes when you really want to say no?  Do you feel you make too many sacrifices for others at your own expense?  Has past experiences in your life caused you to be distrustful of people or are you a people pleaser?

Having boundaries in your life is very important, because it teaches people how to treat you.

Today’s conversation is with another good friend of mine, Ms. Nicole J., and we are going to explore:

• What boundaries are and why they are important
• Our own definitions our boundaries and the experiences that caused us to create our boundaries
• The different types of personal boundaries
• How to create and stick to the boundaries you create

I do hope that you not only enjoy the eposide, but you get something fom it that will empower you set and maintain boundaires in your life.  Please leave a 5 star rating and a review - it would be much appreciated!

Thank you for taking the time to listen to another episode of For My Brown Girls! Podcast.

In this episode, I will be discussing the what the 5 Love Languages are, but instead of using the results to show your partner how to express love to you, YOU use the results to show and express love to YOURSELF!

Here's the link to take the test: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/

This is the last episode in Season 1, but I will be back in September with a new name and logo.  I will also be expanding the topics I discuss so be prepared to listen to candid conversations that have reliable, relatable and useful content that promotes self-care, self love, healthy living and of course, improving one’s mental health.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to another episode of Conversations With A Brown Girl!

This week I present the findings from the study, Superwoman Schema: African American Women’s Views on Stress, Strength and Health from the National Center for Biotechnology Information.  After interviewing 48 Black women ages 19-72 with various backgrounds, they wanted to know what goes into being a Strong Black Woman and how it impacted their health.  The study is broken up into 4 categories:

1. What are the characteristics of a Strong Black Woman

2. What factors that contribute to being a Strong Black Woman

3.  What are the perceived benefits fo being a Strong Black Woman

4.  What are the perceived liabilities of being a Strong Black Woman

I'll be going through the researchers findings while providing quotes from the participants that support the information from the study.  Later in the episode, I will summarize what it all means and how being a Strong Black Women is bad for your health.  To end the episode on a positive note, I give you suggestions on how to balance being a Strong Black Woman with being a Healthy Strong Black Woman.
