Hella Well With Danielle Danielle D. Washington

In this episode, we're shining a light on one of the top forms of stress that often goes unnoticed but has a massive impact on our well-being – time stress. We'll break down exactly what time stress is, how it shows up in our daily lives, and why it hits women particularly hard. If you've ever felt like there aren't enough hours in the day to juggle your career, family commitments, personal responsibilities, and self-care, this episode is a must-listen.

We'll unravel the significant effects time stress can have on our health, relationships, and overall work-life balance. Plus, I'll share a special breathing exercise that can help you manage this under-the-radar stressor. Join me as we focus on understanding and addressing time stress, ensuring it stops being the silent killer in our lives. 

Toward the end, I confess my own struggle with time stress—because let's be real, we're all in this together. So if you're feeling overwhelmed or like you're constantly trying to catch up and failing, this episode is your wake-up call to start taking this hidden stressor seriously.

I’ll share some insights on spotting the difference between constructive and destructive criticism, utilizing personal experiences to guide us. Join me as we learn, not just to cope, but to thrive amid the noise. Looking forward to navigating this journey with you. Catch you in the episode!

To be liked or authentic, that is the question. Inspired by an Essence magazine op-ed from Jasmine Rowley about Amanda Seals and the contentious idea that being likable trumps competence in our professional lives, we'll unravel what it truly means to be pleasant and agreeable, and at what cost. Is fitting in worth the sacrifice of our authenticity?  Or is being your true self affecting your ability to survive?  We'll explore the subtle pressures black women face to conform to societal archetypes, the toll it takes on our self-esteem, and the internal battles we wage between the desire for acceptance and the urge to be unequivocally ourselves. Get ready for a deeply personal journey, as we tackle these questions and uncover the price of likability versus the cost of being true to who we are. So, take a deep breath, and let's get started.
