I believe there is a better way to address overwhelming stress. Right now, working women choose three different methods. Some ignore it. Others try tips that provide short term relief. Still others just suffer through it. I have figured out a few things that work for me and have changed my life. I am having real talk, stress talk conversations to help working women, like you, transition from burnout to balance. We help you to identify the hidden and unnoticed causes of your personal stress and guide you to create personalized stress management routines that fit you and your lifestyle.

    The Hidden Costs Women Pay for Doing Everything All Alone

    I was the woman who could do everything all on my own… until I couldn’t. I was raised to be independent and to not depend on anyone, for anything at any time. Many Black women and Women of Color are raised just like that. We carry the burdens of our family and community like badges of honor. We are the fixers, healers, and bearers of hurts. We put everyone else’s needs before our own. The reality is that “being strong” wears us down and affects our health.  “Being strong” weakens us. If you are nodding your head right now, then this episode isfor you. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign ofwisdom. Because “being strong” is embedded in our core, I want to talk about the cost of doing so. In this episode of “Stress Talk” Live with Marcyline, we are going share “The Hidden Costs Women Pay for Doing Everything All Alone.” Marcyline Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in theState of Georgia, a member of the Academy of Certified Social Workers and a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP®.)
