About Being... Twice as Good but Still Losing (with Tara Jaye Frank)

What happens when being twice as good still isn’t enough? Leadership strategist and author Tara Jaye Frank is here to chat about the emotional aftermath of the 2024 election and what it revealed about burnout, over-functioning, and the pressure Black women carry to fix, serve, and hold everything together. From the national response to Kamala Harris’ qualifications to the quiet grief many black women felt the morning after the election, this chat dives into leadership, anxiety, identity, and self-preservation in a world that feels unstable. We're chatting about: The emotional impact of the 2024 election on Black women Why being “twice as good” still doesn’t guarantee safety or success The hidden cost of identifying as the fixer or rescuer How to stop staying ready and start getting ready for what’s actually in front of you Why self-preservation is not quitting, it’s strategy If you’ve ever been the strong one, the helper, the fixer... this chat will meet you where you are.
