Sis, let’s talk about it—this idea that you have to do everything to be successful. The endless hustle, the late nights, the people-pleasing, the over-delivering—it’s a trap, and it’s breaking you. In this episode of Wake Up Happy, Sis!, we ripped the mask off of Superwoman Syndrome and had a real conversation about why Black women feel the pressure to do it all—and how to let that go before it costs you everything.
We were joined by a powerhouse guest who know exactly what it means to break free from the overachiever mindset: Joy Young, the millionaire mystic and mindset transformer who’s shifting how women define success.
Together, we unpacked the real cost of saying yes to everything, why boundaries are the key to freedom, and how to build a life that aligns with your purpose—without burning out in the process. If you’ve been feeling stretched too thin, undervalued, and overworked, this conversation is your permission slip to take your power back.
