What if the things you’ve been told are “your issues” are actually justified reactions to the world around you?
In this powerful conversation, Michelle sits down with licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Raquel Martin to unpack boundaries, burnout, Black Superwoman syndrome, and what liberation psychology teaches us about healing beyond the individual. Together, they explore why strength can become a cage, how community is our greatest mental health resource, and why some behaviors once saved us — even if they no longer serve us.
From redefining imposter syndrome to burning the cape, this episode challenges the way we talk about mental health, power, and survival. It’s honest, funny, deeply affirming, and necessary.
If you’ve ever felt exhausted by being strong, unseen in healing spaces, or pressured to carry everything alone — this conversation is for you.
