Author Joy in the Mourning
Many Black women have accepted this is just the way it is - unaware this type of living is caused by unresolved stress & trauma that’s living in their body.
Is your body tired of “carrying it all,” having to be “strong”, or living with constant stress?
Then you might be stuck in survival mode.
Here’s what that can look like:
Inability to rest
Overwhelm and Anxiety
Overthinking but Not Acting
Procrastination
Suppressing Your Needs
People-Pleasing
Irritability and Anger
Constant Conflict
Perfectionism and Control
Constant Busyness
Sluggish Digestion
Disrupted sleep
Poor focus
Frequent illnesses
Jaw, Shoulder, Hip Tension & Tightness
AND MORE...
Living in survival mode is harming Black women.
Hi, I’m Danielle.
I get it. lived in survival mode for decades, believing I always had to be “strong.” I watched the women around me - my mom, aunt, grandmother - live this way, so I thought it was normal.
I lived a life of “going through the motions” - doing what I thought I was supposed to. I lived with the weight of the world on my shoulders and eventually found the weight too heavy.
Culture expected me to be a "strong" Black woman, operating with superhuman strength to hold everything together. I’m not super human, I’m not a machine.
I’m a human and I need rest, I deserve rest.
And so do you.
After suffering loss in 2013, I began to learn the impact of this type of living on my mind & body. I learned the impact of stress and trauma on our health and committed to my health and healing journey.
I invite you to do the same.
If you’re ready to stop “going through the motions”, enjoy more rest and live as your authentic self - I’d be honored to support you with my private or small-group coaching.
You deserve to thrive… not just survive.
