Intentional by Shae

In this episode of ESSENTFLOW™ by Shae: Too Much for the Room, I'm breaking down what happens when the version of you that follows the rules, shows up right, and does everything the "correct" way becomes so automatic that you forget there was ever another version.This isn't about working too hard. This isn't about saying yes too much. This is about identity substitution — when you replace who you actually are with what's required to survive in spaces that weren't built for you.In this episode, you'll learn:The difference between suppression and substitution (and why substitution carries a heavier depressive load)How to recognize when your performed self has become your default modeMy personal story: La Shae vs Shae (how I split myself into two identities without knowing it)THE SORT — a 4-step discernment practice to start seeing which version of you is actually drivingThe real cost of operating from the installed self (capacity depletion, decision paralysis, chronic misalignment)Research mentioned:Abrams et al. (2019) — Self-silencing vs. externalized self-perceptions in Black womenESSENTFLOW™ is a human development methodology built from 17 years of autoethnographic research on identity incongruence in high-capacity Black women. This work helps you stop performing capacity and start expressing it.You were never too much. The room was just too small.CONNECT WITH ME:📩 Newsletter: "Too Much for the Room"🌐 Website: essentflowbyshae.com💼 LinkedIn: Shae ThomasABOUT SHAE:Shae Thomas is a Capacity Strategist, Human Development Researcher, and Founder of ESSENTFLOW™. She holds a BA in Psychology (concentration Counseling Social Work, minor Behavioral Health Services) and a MS in Leadership (concentration Community Leadership), with 17 years of longitudinal autoethnographic research on identity incongruence in high-capacity Black women.

For 17 years, I've been documenting patterns of burnout, identity incongruence, and sustained performance. But for the last 9 months — since I started building ESSENTFLOW™ publicly — I've been doing something I didn't even realize: code-switching in my own work.I was saying "high-capacity people" when the research I was doing, the experience I was living, the patterns I was documenting — all of it was specifically about high-capacity Black women.In this episode, I share what happened when I finally let myself look at the research. What I discovered about Dr. Carey Yazeed, Dr. Cheryl Woods-Giscombé, Dr. Thema Bryant, and other Black women researchers who've been naming these patterns for years. And why I was so scared to say out loud who this work is actually for.This is the transition episode. The one where I stop translating myself and start speaking directly to the Black women this work was always meant to serve.In This Episode, We Talk About:Why I started building ESSENTFLOW™ for "all women" instead of naming my specific audienceThe research that changed everything: Dr. Carey Yazeed's study as the catalystThe Superwoman Schema (Dr. Cheryl Woods-Giscombé): 5 beliefs many Black women carryCode-switching statistics: 61% of Black employees compromise authenticity at work, 34% actively code-switchWhy code-switching doesn't stay at work — it follows you home into every domainThe difference between survival and thrivingWhat "native self vs. installed self" actually means in the context of identity reclamationWhy my lived experience as a Black woman is my credential, not a limitationWhat this means for ESSENTFLOW™ going forwardKey Research Findings Referenced:The Superwoman Schema (Dr. Cheryl Woods-Giscombé, UNC Chapel Hill)Five core beliefs many Black women carry:Expectation to show strength at all timesSuppression of emotionsResistance to being vulnerable or depending on othersDetermination to succeed despite limited resourcesHelping others even at your own expenseCode-Switching Statistics:61% of Black employees report compromising authenticity to fit dominant workplace standards (Harvard Business Review)34% of Black employees actively code-switch at work — significantly higher than 20% average (McCluney et al., 2019)Identity Incongruence:Sustained misalignment between who you are and who you perform to be — not for a day or a project, but chronically across multiple domains (work, relationships, family, faith, creative expression)Connect With Shae:🌐 Website: essentflowbyshae.com📧 Newsletter: Too Much for the Room 📺 YouTube: Too Much for the Room series + The Gentle Fix🤝🏾 LinkedIn: Shae Thomas📅 Coming August 2026: The ESSENTFLOW™ Xperience

"I'm just working on a little thing." You've done the work. Built the framework. Created the products. But when someone asks what you do, you shrink. This episode breaks down why high-capacity people minimize their milestones, the real cost of staying small, and the distinction that changes everything: arrogance vs authority. Learn the 5-step practice to stop minimizing and start claiming what you've actually done. What You'll Learn:What minimizing your milestones actually looks like (and why you do it)Why high-capacity people were taught to stay smallThe Self-Authorization Gap: the distance between what you've proven and what you're allowed to claimThe real cost of minimizing (your work stays hidden, you reinforce smallness, you attract the wrong people)The distinction: arrogance vs authorityThe 5-step practice to stop shrinking and start claimingFinding #4: The Self-Authorization GapESSENCE phase: identity excavation and claiming your authorityArrogance vs Authority: "Arrogance is claiming what you haven't done. Authority is claiming what you have."Write down what you've actually done (the real version, not the minimized one)Practice saying it out loud (alone first)Start claiming in low-risk spaces (bio, about page, newsletter)Notice when you want to minimize — and choose not toLet other people be uncomfortable (their discomfort is not your responsibility)Links:ESSENTFLOW™ Websitehttps://essentflowbyshae.comNewsletter: The Capacity StrategistESSENTFLOW™ Capacity Assessmenthttps://essentflowbyshae.com/assessmentYouTube: Too Much for the Roomhttps://youtube.com/@ESSENTFLOWbyShaeConnect on LinkedInhttps://linkedin.com/in/shaethomasclaiming your work, imposter syndrome, self-authorization, high-capacity people, minimizing achievements, arrogance vs authority, women entrepreneurs, professional credibility, ESSENTFLOW, ESSENCE phase, business confidence, nervous system, shrinking, people-pleasing, stating your expertiseAbout HostShae Thomas is a Capacity Strategist and Researcher with a BA in Psychology (concentration: Counseling, minor: Behavioral Health Services) and an MS in Community Leadership.

You Didn't Watch Me Fail. You Watched Me Do the Research.If you've been here for a while, you've watched me change the name of this show. You've watched me rebrand. You've watched me figure it out in real time, out loud, with no safety net.What looked like chaos from the outside was actually the most important research I've ever done.Today's episode is the bridge — the one that crosses us from the old era into the new one. Before we move forward, I'm bringing you all the way across with me. Because if you're anything like the people ESSENTFLOW™ was built for, you don't do well with "just trust me." You need to understand the why.Proof-of-Impact AddictionThis is not social media addiction. This is what happens to achievement-oriented, impact-motivated people when they get on a platform that offers them a daily metric for whether their life's work actually matters. Followers. Views. Saves. Comments. And the compulsive checking that comes with it — that doesn't go away when you delete the app. It migrates. Because the addiction was never about the platform.Authenticity Depletion vs. BurnoutBurnout says: I need to rest. I need to do less.Authenticity Depletion says: I need to do different.These are not the same thing. And treating Authenticity Depletion like burnout — with rest, with stepping back — will keep you in a cycle that never resolves. Because the problem isn't how much you're doing. It's who you're being while you do it.The Self-Authorization GapThe distance between what the evidence shows about your capacity and what your nervous system will actually let you claim. This is different from impostor syndrome. This is the specific, persistent inability to stand in what you've already proven — and it is the single most common barrier for every high-capacity creator I've encountered.The ESSENCE PhaseThe phase most entrepreneurs skip because it doesn't look like progress. It's the part where you stop building and start asking: who am I actually building this for? And does this version of what I'm building actually fit who I am? It looks like nothing is happening. It is actually everything.Who ESSENTFLOW™ Is Built ForThe burned-out creator. The high-capacity over thinker. The quiet rebuilder. If you've been told you're too much your entire life — or suspected the problem is you rather than the methods — you are exactly who this is for.Before you build anything else — know where you're actually starting from.The ESSENTFLOW™ Capacity Stage Assessment identifies exactly which of the four stages you're in right now:Depleted → ESSENCE — you need clarity before anything elseFragmented → Bridge — you have pieces but they're scatteredStabilizing → FOUNDATION — you're ready to build systems that holdExpanding → FLOW — you're in momentum and learning to sustain it8 questions. 3 minutes.

Are you consistent with your content — but still feel disconnected, exhausted, or stuck?In this episode of Intentional by Shae: ESSENTFLOW™, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood ideas in creator culture: the difference between staying consistent and staying aligned.As a mindful brand strategist and consultant, I see small creators and nano influencers burn out not because they lack discipline — but because they’re staying consistent inside systems that no longer fit who they’re becoming.In this episode, we explore:Why consistency without alignment leads to creator burnoutThe hidden cost of “just staying visible”How to tell when your strategy no longer supports your energyWhat aligned consistency actually looks like in real lifeHow to build sustainable growth without forcing outputThis conversation is for creators who are done chasing momentum and ready to build brands rooted in clarity, intention, and long-term sustainability.If you’re learning how to move from force to flow — this episode is for you.✨ Let’s grow with the flow.

In this episode of Intentional by Shae: ESSENTFLOW™, we explore the truth creators were never taught: consistency is powerful — but only when it’s built on clarity.If you’ve been starting and stopping, feeling heavy around your routines, or confusing resistance with failure, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. We unpack why forcing yourself into consistency leads to burnout, how clarity stabilizes your growth, and what happens when flow becomes your strategy instead of pressure.Your growth doesn’t need force.It just needs to flow.

From Force to FlowIn this episode, I’m naming something I’ve never said out loud before.For a long time, I believed growth required force — more discipline, more pressure, more pushing through. And while that approach helped me survive certain seasons, it also kept me disconnected from myself… and from finishing the things that mattered most.This episode marks a shift.We explore what it means to stop forcing clarity and start listening for it. To recognize when unfinished work isn’t a failure — but a signal. And to understand how growth changes when it moves at a pace your nervous system can actually sustain.This conversation isn’t about having everything figured out.It’s about learning how to stay — with the work, with yourself, and with the version of you that’s still becoming.If you’ve been feeling exhausted by hustle-based growth, stuck in cycles of starting and stopping, or afraid to open the next door because you don’t know who you’ll be on the other side… this episode is for you.Welcome to ESSENTFLOW™.🌊 WHAT YOU’LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODEWhy force can create momentum — but not sustainabilityHow unfinished work can be a signal, not a flawWhat it means to grow without self-abandonmentWhy flow isn’t about doing less, but doing what fitsHow ESSENTFLOW™ emerged as a practice, not a performance
