DAY 11 Uncaping, Unmasking, Unhiding | The Need to Prove Yourself & Power of Healing in Community

Cookie Lyon didn’t just wake up one morning thinking, “I got sh*t
to prove”.  Her lived experiences pushed her into that
space.


Although you’ve probably never given it much thought, the same
holds true for you. Your need to prove yourself is rooted in your
lived experiences dating back to childhood.


In today’s episode of Uncaping, Unmasking, and
Unhiding “featuring” Cookie Lyon,  we’re taking a
look at a few of the things that pushed her into the “people
proving” space. Our hope is that you will recognize your people
proving behavior and start taking steps to heal the wounded
places in you.  


We also took a look at the magic that happens when Black women
heal in community. If you find yourself in this episode or
previous episodes, please consider joining us in the
Sista Circle of Healing. The next cohort starts
November 9th. 


Tune in now, and when you’re finished we would love to see your
face in the Shades of Strong Facebook Community
where you can connect with other Black women and have open and
honest discussions about things that concern us individually and
collectively. This is a safe space where we can lean on each
other in times of trouble and unrest, and dance with each other
in times of celebration.
