Too Much for Them: The Struggle of Being a Powerful Black Woman at Work and at Home

from The People Power Project Podcast · host Morgan Carey

Being a powerful woman in leadership comes with challenges—misconceptions, workplace stereotypes, and the constant push to shrink ourselves for others' comfort. But this pressure doesn’t stop at work—it follows us home, into our personal relationships, friendships, and even dating lives, making it all the more isolating. In this episode of The People Power Project, we dive into what it really means to lead unapologetically while navigating the emotional toll of being "too much" for others. We’ll explore how strong women—especially Black women—balance personal and professional expectations, overcome burnout, and maintain a positive mindset in spaces that sometimes fail to support them. ⁠⁠Join the People Power Circle today!⁠ ⁠ Group Coaching for the Leader in you.
