The Black Girl Bravado

How often do you find yourself second-guessing your actions based on what others might think? Do you silence your voice or hold back from pursuing your passions due to the fear of being judged? Is the constant pressure to present a perfect image taking a toll on your mental well-being? If you answered yes, you're not alone. Today we’re exploring the fear of being perceived - a common struggle that can hold us back from living our most authentic lives.

In this episode we discuss:

• The underlying reasons behind the fear of being seen
• The hidden costs of constantly seeking external validation
• Practical strategies to overcome the fear of being perceived and embrace your true self
