67. Alencia Johnson: Exposing How Perfectionism Keeps Women Powerless | Rich Little Reads

Welcome to Rich Little Reads — a our series for readers and wannabe readers.

Have you read Flip the Tables? This week, Kim sits down with author and political powerhouse Alencia Johnson to explore what it really means to reclaim your power in a world designed to keep you small.

She’s flipping the script on hustle culture, perfectionism, and the habit of asking for permission. If you’ve ever tied your identity to achievement, stayed too long in a job or relationship out of fear, or mistaken perfection for purpose — this episode is for you.

Alencia shares hard-won lessons about choosing courage over fear and why control isn’t safety — it’s self-sabotage. She also unpacks how the “girlboss” movement is crippling you — and why it’s time for women, especially Black women, to stop waiting and start taking.

So… think you’ll read it?
