Welcome to another Episode of the Sew Flipping Extra Podcast!
A platform for me to express, explore, connect and over all be Sew Flipping Extra... why because that brings me joy.
Have you ever felt the weight of yesterday's sorrows hindering the joy of today? Our latest episode embarks on a heartfelt journey, guiding you through the process of shedding the pain of the past to fully embrace the present. We unravel the personal significance of navigating life's tribulations, from childbirth to loss, and how these experiences shape our resilience. Join us as I share intimate stories of pain tolerance and the subjective nature of suffering, setting the stage for a discussion that transcends personal anecdotes and delves into the art of letting go and healing.
The stereotype of the 'Strong Black Woman' often imposes an unrealistic expectation to mask discomfort and endure silently. This episode challenges the valorization of stoicism, as I reflect on my own endeavors to uphold this image in the face of adversity. Unpacking the layers of this cultural narrative, we talk about the importance of vulnerability and the transformative power of seeking support. As you listen, I invite you to explore the beauty in allowing yourself to be seen and supported, amplified by my preference for the symbolism of natural light as a beacon of hope and positivity.
We round out our episode by navigating the complexities of ADHD within community settings, highlighting the unique struggles and the crucial role of acceptance and understanding. Sharing my personal narrative on coming to terms with ADHD, we celebrate the solidarity found in spaces like the ADHD AF podcast event hosted by Laura. This is where authenticity and shared experiences foster a deep sense of belonging. It's a testament to the strength that lies in community, and a reminder that embracing our true selves is the key to forging profound connections and personal growth. Join us for an episode that not only aims to enlighten but also to connect on a deeper level through our collective journeys.
