    I'm Tired of Being Amazing

    What does it mean when a woman says she's tired of being amazing? Inspired by a powerful line from All Her Fault, this episode explores the hidden burden of competence, resilience, and high achievement. For many women—especially those who have spent their lives proving themselves—excellence becomes more than an accomplishment. It becomes an expectation. In this episode, Charise Beckett examines the "competence tax"—the often-unspoken reality that the more capable you are, the more responsibility, pressure, and emotional labor people place on your shoulders. She shares personal reflections on success, leadership, family, ambition, and the societal expectations that come with being the one who always gets it done. This is not a conversation about rejecting achievement. It's a conversation about understanding the cost of carrying so much for so long. In This Episode: • Why the line "I'm tired of being amazing" resonated with so many women • The hidden burden of being the strong one • How competence often attracts more responsibility • The pressure of maintaining excellence once you've achieved it • Black women, overachievement, and societal expectations • The difference between pride and pressure • Why success doesn't eliminate stress—it often changes its form • Giving yourself permission to be human without sacrificing ambition Connect with Charise 🌐 P.O.I.S.E.
