Are you a strong black woman? Do you feel free? 

In episode S3 E7 of the Stop Calling Me Strong series, I talk with therapist turned Life Coach, Diane Jones, who lives in Mexico where she is happily designing a 'soft life' for herself. In this juicy conversation full of gems, Diane, who says she too was once plagued by the strong black woman syndrome, shares how hitting a wall in her profession changed the trajectory of her practice and personal life. 

We talked about so much, including: 

• how, like the typical strong black woman, she allowed unaddressed anxieties to pile up 
• why the strong black woman rarely makes choices based on what she needs and desires
• how, when making major shifts, the SBW ought to move
• why strong black women get no reciprocity 
• what SBW aren't allowed to say out loud
• what typically is the root cause of SBW's emotional eating 
• why strong black women are bound 
• and how SBW can break free!
