Marriage Pinnacle Presents: Chats From the Peak

Send us a textIn a world that constantly demands that Black women be strong, resilient, and unshakable—what does it really mean to be soft? In this powerful and freeing conversation, we sit down with Dr. Chanda and Chika Uwazie, the woman behind the phrase "soft life" to unpack its intended meaning, cultural misconceptions, and why reclaiming softness isn't about luxury, laziness, or detachment—it's about survival, healing, and wholeness.We explore how the "strong Black woman" narrative has shaped our identity, the toll it takes on our mental health and relationships, and why softness is not weakness—it's resistance. Whether you're a boss, a mother, a wife, or all of the above, this episode will challenge you to redefine strength, embrace ease, and finally give yourself permission to be tender in a world that's tried to harden you.To keep up with Dr. Chanda follow her on all social media platforms at @paging.dr.chandaCheck out her Webby nominated podcast: Paging Dr. Chanda  To keep up with Chika Uwazie follow her on all social media platforms at  ⁨@chikauwazie_⁩ Check out her podcast:  ⁨@Afropolitan⁩  Subscribe to her Substack: Self Love Notes Support the showCheck out 101 CHATS TO REACH THE PEAK Convo Cards- Carefully curated to generate healthy dialogue aimed at strengthening connections.

Send us a textEver feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders—and smiling through it? From cultural expectations to marital roles, many women have silently subscribed to the Superwoman Complex—pushing through exhaustion, suppressing their needs, and wearing the cape like a badge of honor. We're talking about this unspoken pressure and how trying to do it all is wrecking marriages and mental health. Sis… you don't have to be everything to everyone. You were never meant to carry it all. This week on Chats from the Peak, we're naming the Superwoman Complex—and giving you permission and practical tips from our girl Dr. Raquel Martin on how to burn the cape!!!Support the showCheck out 101 CHATS TO REACH THE PEAK Convo Cards- Carefully curated to generate healthy dialogue aimed at strengthening connections.

Send us a textIt's May, which means it's Mental Health Awareness Month and this episode is for our men— our husbands, brothers, uncles and fathers and there was no better person to help enlighten us then Licensed Therapist, Speaker, Author and friend of the show, Paul Bashea Williams! We're unpacking what it means to carry the weight as a Black man—especially as a husband, father, and leader. We're talking about unspoken pressures, emotional shutdowns, and John Henryism, the “hero complex” that makes so many brothers feel like they can't ever let their guard down. But we're not stopping there—we're bringing the wives in, too. How can we show up for our men when they feel like they're drowning but can't say it out loud? How do we love them through the silence, the stress, and the struggle? We want to thank all of the men who make the burden look light, who carry without complaint and who strive for legacy. Thank you.Check out 101 CHATS TO REACH THE PEAK Convo Cards- Carefully curated to generate healthy dialogue aimed at strengthening connections.  If you are dating, engaged, or married, there is a deck for you!!!
