Why the Strong Black Woman Is Not Free ft. Diane Jones


Listen Later

Are you a strong black woman? Do you feel free?

In episode S3 E7 of the Stop Calling Me Strong series, I talk with therapist turned Life Coach, Diane Jones, who lives in Mexico where she is happily designing a 'soft life' for herself. In this juicy conversation full of gems, Diane, who says she too was once plagued by the strong black woman syndrome, shares how hitting a wall in her profession changed the trajectory of her practice and personal life.

We talked about so much, including:

  • how, like the typical strong black woman, she allowed unaddressed anxieties to pile up
  • why the strong black woman rarely makes choices based on what she needs and desires
  • how, when making major shifts, the SBW ought to move
  • why strong black women get no reciprocity
  • what SBW aren't allowed to say out loud
  • what typically is the root cause of SBW's emotional eating
  • why strong black women are bound
  • and how SBW can break free!
