The Strength to Stop: Breaking Free from the Superwoman Complex 🎙️

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Like saying “no” is impossible, and rest feels like a luxury you can’t afford? It’s time to talk about the superwoman complex—that relentless pressure to do it all and never show weakness.

In my latest blog post, I dive into:
✅ What the superwoman complex is and how it affects mental health.
✅ Why societal pressures, especially for women of color, make it harder to prioritize rest.
✅ Practical steps for counselors (and everyone else) to recognize the signs of burnout and take action.

Inspired by Simone Biles’ courageous decision to prioritize her mental health, this post is a call to redefine resilience and strength. It’s about knowing when to stop, realign, and give back to yourself.
