Summary:

Black women often feel intense pressure to be strong and to do it all for others. But at what cost? In this empowering guide, Black psychologist and registered nurse Cheryl Woods Giscombe introduces the innovative, research-based superwoman schema (SWS) framework--five core beliefs that drive Black women's stress--and provides self-care practices grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion to help readers find balance and live a life of joy and greater well-being.
