#507 - Dr. Sarita Lyons - Take Off Your Cape

Are you tired of putting on your superwoman cape for everyone and everything? As a woman, I can certainly identify with feeling overrun and overworked. And specifically, as a Black woman, the pressure to constantly be strong can feel downright debilitating.

My friend Dr. Sarita Lyons recently joined me for a real sister-to-sister conversation about her new book, Church Girl: A Gospel Vision to Encourage and Challenge Black Christian Women, and the intersection of race and faith. 

Whether you’re a Black woman searching for her identity in Christian spaces or someone far removed from the Black experience, this conversation will encourage you to not only show up better but to serve and love your sisters in faith better too

Highlights from Today’s Episode

• Overcoming rejection and discouragement
• Knowing when to press and when to pivot
• Shining a light on Black women and the superwoman complex
• Giving God glory in the midst of grief
