This episode is dedicated to the memory of Quita Cole — a brilliant Black female entrepreneur who simply said, “Quita needs rest,” and went to take a nap… but never woke up.
Her heartbreaking story is a wake-up call for all of us — especially Black women carrying the silent weight of always being “the strong one.”
In this powerful and soul-stirring conversation, psychotherapist Dr. Natacha Pennycooke joins The Monie Podcast to unpack the emotional, physical, and spiritual toll of being chronically resilient. We explore how generational expectations, burnout, and the pressure to push through are affecting the health and wholeness of Black women everywhere.
If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, silenced by strength, or simply exhausted by the pressure to “keep going” — this one’s for you.
