In this episode, inspired by the words of Ari Lennox, "Let me check on these garbanzo beans... to see if... um... they're cooked yet!" we delve into a topic that resonates deeply with many: High Functioning Anxiety in Black Women.

Black women are often seen as the crème de la crème – the musically educated, the trendsetters, the trailblazers, and the bosses. We excel in our careers, influence culture, and lead with strength and grace. But beneath this exterior of success lies a hidden struggle with anxiety, often unacknowledged and misunderstood.

Join us as we explore the complexities of high functioning anxiety and its impact on our daily lives. We discuss how societal expectations, cultural pressures, and personal ambitions create a unique set of challenges for Black women. Through candid conversations, personal stories, and expert insights, we aim to shed light on this often overlooked aspect of mental health.

This episode is not just about recognizing the challenges, but also about celebrating our resilience. We share strategies for managing anxiety, fostering mental wellness, and finding balance amidst the hustle. Whether you're navigating this journey yourself or supporting someone who is, this discussion offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.

Tune in for an enlightening and empowering episode that honors the strength of Black women while acknowledging the importance of mental health. Let's come together to break the stigma and support each other in our journeys to wellness.
