  When Help Feels Harder Than Carrying It

  Aug 14, 20262 min

  For a high-capacity Black woman who has spent years being the one who figures it out, handles it, anticipates it, and keeps things moving, doing everything herself can become more than a habit. It can become part of how she recognizes herself. So when someone offers to help, the discomfort may not be, “I don't want help.” It may be, “What does accepting this mean about me?” That distinction matters. You don't have to force yourself to become comfortable with receiving overnight. Start by getting curious about the meaning you've attached to needing someone else. What does receiving support make you believe about yourself? Sit with that. #ESSENTFLOW #HighCapacityBlackWomen #IdentityResearch #IdentityAndLanguage #Capacity #SelfAwareness #BlackWomenAndWellness

  ESSENTFLOW™ — Unspoken Truths Ep. 014 | The Things You Don't Give Yourself Permission To Want

  Aug 6, 20263 min

  Sometimes we don't stop wanting things because the desire disappeared. Sometimes we stop wanting because we learned that certain desires came with a cost. The question is not only: “What do I want?” It is: “Who taught me what I was allowed to want?” ️ ESSENTFLOW™ — Unspoken Truths You were never too much.

  ESSENTFLOW™ — Unspoken Truths Ep. 014 | The Version That Never Gets to Rest

  Aug 5, 20263 min

  Being the strong one can become such a familiar identity that needing support starts to feel uncomfortable. But strength was never supposed to mean carrying everything alone. Sometimes the version of you that protected everyone else is the same version waiting to be cared for too. ️ ESSENTFLOW™ — Unspoken Truths You were never too much.
