The Fine Line Between Being Independent and TOO Independent

from Shades of Strong® Podcast | From “Strong Black Woman” to Supported Black Woman

There’s a difference between doing something because you have to or because you don’t have support and doing something because you don’t trust anyone else to do it, because you don’t want to relinquish control, or because you don’t want to owe anyone anything. That’s the FINE line ladies. Often we allow our lived experiences to unconsciously push us to the that “Too independent space. You get to be STRONG and INDEPENDENT. But being independent does not mean that you are NOT dependent on anyone. Humans are social beings. We all need each other. Being independent should not be creating space for you to push others way intentionally or unintentionally. Being independent doesn’t mean losing yourself or giving up what you want in life. Quite the contrary, being independent helps you to establish your identity in out of relationships, it helps you determine what you really want in life, it helps you to become self-reliant. It teaches you how to love yourself so that you can freely give love to others.
