So many of us are walking around with an invisible contract we never agreed to—but we’re still out here living by it. It's the Superwoman Contract. In this episode, I’m naming what it is, where it comes from, how it keeps us stuck, and what it costs us to keep performing strength.
We talk about:
- What the Superwoman Contract actually is
- Why we feel obligated to carry so much
- How this “strength” is expensive
- What it could look like to void the contract and choose something else
Mentioned in this episode:
➡️ BEING 1:1 Coaching is open. This is support for Black women who are navigating reinvention, self-trust, and soft power after survival. If you’ve been carrying it all, this is your space to finally set it down. Book your session today.
