From the outside it looked like Nicole Swiner had it all. She was a co-owner of a successful family medicine practice and a popular doctor with a happy marriage and a growing family. Then one day Doc Swiner found herself collapsed on the floor at work, wondering what had happened. It took some of the most important people in her life to gently point out that she was suffering from Superwoman Complex. That was the first time she had ever heard the term and she dove into understanding its meanings and repercussions. Nicole's journey has had its share of twists and turns, but she is now claiming more of her own time and setting boundaries that keep her physically, mentally and spiritually happy. This is a great story of transforming a health scare into a new way of living.

Maybe you don't have a fear of asking for help but you definitely feel a hesitation towards. Do you feel as though you can "do it best"? Most female leaders have this thought! You know that you can create the content the best, the graphic the best, or generate the emails the best.

I'm so excited you are joining me for another empowering message. This year we're shining the spotlight on business, lifestyle, mindset, and wellness. Today I'm honored and privileged to have on the show Ms. Breana Turner, she is a multifaceted woman who has a passion for empowering women. Think of me as your Chief Encouragement Officer, bringing you first-hand expertise and wisdom from a woman who has found her purpose in life.  Over the last year, Breana has spoken to women on the importance of empowerment through exercising, the impact of the Superwoman Complex on Black women's health and being resilient and overcoming challenges.

In the last episode (Part 1), we explained what the Superwoman Complex is and in this episode we are going to explain what the CURE is for those who are stuck in the Superwoman Complex. So, the superwoman complex is the belief that we need to do it ALL as mothers. We need to show up perfectly and fully at all times in every role, including but not limited to our role as mother, wife, house manager, career woman, daughter/sister, community member, and more. It is that unnatural, perfectionist voice of the Inner Critic that pushes and bullies us to success.  So, today, in Part 2, I discuss 4 main points that form the cure for the Superwoman Complex and that rest on the cornerstone point, the fundamental point, that underlies the entire cure. That is, speaking to ourselves in the voice of the loving Inner Mother on our way to success. Without this, these other 4 points are moot. Now, those 4 points that form the cure: Treat time as your friend. It is about quality not quantity. It's not enough to know your values, you must LIVE them every single day. Even if it's 10 minutes at a time. It's not about WHAT you're doing, it is about HOW you're doing it: the energy that you're in and the way you show up in the world. Be aware and be willing to meet your own NEEDS.

Today, you're going to learn all about the superwoman complex, what it is and how to know if you're experiencing it. This is important because many of us will go through the superwoman complex at some point in our lives and many of us are living with it RIGHT NOW! We think that feeling overwhelmed, feeling exhausted, and not understanding how everybody else is doing it, is just a normal part of the motherhood process. I'm here to tell you that it's NOT, and it doesn't have to be that way. So, what is the superwoman complex? The superwoman complex is the belief that we need to do it ALL as mothers. We need to show up perfectly and fully, at all times, and in every role. I will cover 4 major points that you need to know in order to understand the superwoman complex: We are living within “the rigged system” which sets us up for failure. We don't account for our needs. We don't accept or understand the process that we're in as mothers. We don't process our emotions and instead we “buffer” them away. Stay tuned for next week, Part 2, where I walk you step-by-step through the process I take my clients through in order to CURE the superwoman complex.

The Superwoman Complex manifests when a woman neglects herself in efforts to do EVERYTHING perfectly, resulting in stretching herself too thin and eventually burning out.

In this week's episode, we discuss the concept of the Superwoman Complex. The dark side of the Superwoman complex is the fear of showing vulnerability. But at best, doing everything on our own is a recipe for stunted growth and, at worst, a path to burnout. Being continually caught up in the daily whirlwind often leads to losing perspective and a clear, current view of your market or field. Being head down all the time leads to isolation. As seasoned multitaskers, we too often put multiple families and business needs ahead of our wellbeing, which means support systems don't exist when an emergency arises. Asking other people for help is hard. Yet overcoming this behavior and its underlying fears is essential for personal and business growth. Key takeaways from today's episode: 1. Having a fear of vulnerability and overcompensating by being super independent can lead to burnout and stunted growth. 2. Having a head-down mentality to just focus on success can come at the cost of not looking up and seeing what you're missing, including connection with other people. 3. Our field adds an extra layer of pressure to be tough enough to hang. Any sign of weakness can be interpreted as not being strong enough or competent enough to be a "good social worker." 4. We can learn to set our boundaries. We don't always have to give, even if the people we are serving look like us. 5. Be conscious that no amount of accolades are enough for some of us. We may always feel like we have to overperform just to "make it" or be seen as good enough in a system of white supremacy. This tendency doesn't only apply to work. It also impacts our dating/marriage and other interpersonal relationships. Ask yourself what would happen if we didn't do everything or stopped being a "superwoman"? What would fall apart? Would it really? For questions and share outs and further discussion please contact us at therapistsarepeopletoo@gmail.com. Until next time, remember to live, laugh, love, and keep it real. -Frantzces, Sabeen and Tonika :) Click here to leave us a rating on iTunes.  Follow us on Instagram.

We've been duped into believing that being a “super woman “ is a good thing. It's not. The super woman complex is a toxic myth peddled to women as empowerment rather than what it truly is-bondage! It's time to grab your chai, latté, your favorite snack and, tune in to today's episode!

It doesn’t mean that we have to do it all by ourselves.” –Dr. Zoe Shaw Support is Sexy Ep. #773  “Our cape has to be healthy, it has to be light, and it has to look like us, not somebody else.” –Dr. Zoe Shaw Support is Sexy Ep. #773  “If when you look at your priorities and you figure out I don’t want to be this way anymore, it’s okay to completely shift… It’s okay to change.” –Dr. Zoe Shaw Support is Sexy Ep. #773  "It’s easier to make very small changes. You’ll have better reactions from the system, and on top of that you’ll be more likely to follow through… as you make small changes, you will actually be more motivated to make slightly bigger changes.” –Dr. Zoe Shaw Support is Sexy Ep. #773  “Showing up authenticity as yourself is the easiest way to mother, and it’s the healthiest way to mother. Hopefully, that takes a little bit of that guilt off of your shoulders, takes some of that burden of having to be perfect off of your shoulders.” –Dr. Zoe Shaw Support is Sexy Ep. #773    Resources Mentioned A Year of Self Care by Dr. Zoe Shaw  GetOverIGotIt.com  Stay Connected: Elayne Fluker Website: elaynefluker.com Twitter: @elaynefluker  Facebook: Elayne Fluker Instagram: @elaynefluker LinkedIn: Elayne Fluker Youtube: Elayne Fluker   Dr. Zoe Shaw Website: https://drzoeshaw.com/  Twitter: @drzoeshaw Facebook: Dr. Zoe Shaw Instagram: @drzoeshaw LinkedIn: Dr. Zoe Shaw   Support is Sexy Website: Support is Sexy Podcast Facebook: Support is Sexy Instagram: @supportissexy Youtube: Support is Sexy Podcast Playlist    Post-production for this episode was provided by Podcast Laundry.

The U.S. Capitol was invaded, destroyed, damaged on the 6th of January….all because White Supremacists were throwing a tantrum out of fear of losing “their power”. Quite frankly, I was unbothered. The terrorist attack in the Capitol building was in response to Stacy Abrams executing her strategic plan and getting more Democrats in the Senate seats. This week we discuss if Black women suffer from the Superwoman Complex and or upholding the Strong Black Woman image, or if Black women are simply fighting for their own interest which happens to help the majority. If you are interested in tuning into the conversation, click the link down below!Article referenced in this episode: Stacy Abrams is not a magical NegroVideo to watch: Woke-ish on NetflixFollow me on IG @_womantfup_Like us on FB @ Woman TF UpWebsite: www.shackysharenee.com

What impact does helping individuals find their voice and self-publish have on society? What is the importance of reading a book about anti-racism in this time? What is the importance of learning tools to address the discomfort of discussing anti-racism? Why is it important to support Black owned businesses? In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts in multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Dr. Nicole Swiner, a family practice doctor and owner of Swiner Publishing. Dr. Swiner details how she inadvertently became a business owner and created the #nosuperwoman movement. This movement aims to show women that self care and work/life integration is a necessity. Dr. Swiner notes how her publishing company helps to amplify Black voices and highlights the reasons for supporting Black owned businesses. Dr. Swiner discussed the importance of Jill's upcoming Conscious Anti-Racism book, which is being published by Swiner Publishing, and why she feels so called to publish books about social justice. Dr. Nicole Swiner is a 6-time best-selling author, blogger, speaker, wife and mother in Durham. She is also affectionately known as the Superwoman Complex expert and has written 2 best-selling books on the topic. With her company, Swiner Publishing Company, she helps authors become best-sellers, from start to finish. She loves taking care of the family as a whole, with interests in Minority Health, Women's Health, Self-Care and Female Entrepreneurship. When she's not treating patients at Durham Family Medicine, she's spending time with her family, speaking nationally, freelancing for WebMD and teaching others to self-publish. She has become one of the nation's experts on self-care, imposter syndrome, physician burnout and well-being.

Chan and Erin discuss “The Super Women Complex” and how it effects women of color specifically. They also discuss how to overcome this complex while still holding on to all superpowers that come with being a woman. They talk about putting down their cape and focusing on self care and themselves. Tips are also given to men on how they can help get women over this complex. Tune in!

What a powerful conversation! I feel like every person needs to hear and understand how their inner guide is the best guide and that you get no awards for trying to save everyone. NONE! In fact, you can't save everyone, we all have our paths. Being SUPERWOMAN could delay your own path, which is the higher level of service to self, the divine and others. An educator turned full-time entrepreneur, basketball mom, gymnastics mom, twin mom, mother of seven children (yes, you read that right), Tanai still finds time to inspire moms to travel the world.

While abroad, her children were able to learn Arabic, excelled in school and sports, had a live-in nanny, and traveled the world. Since returning to the US in 2016, she has continued to maintain the goal of granting her children a new passport stamp every 100 days. In 2019, Tanai got married and grew her family from four to seven people to love and in 2020, she made the decision to quit teaching and pursue her dreams full time!

Are you struggling to take your business to the next level? Perhaps you have a killer marketing strategy and a business that fulfills and excites you. Yet for some reason, your prospects aren’t buying what you’re selling. One of the most common reasons for this problem is that you don’t believe.  If you don’t believe in your offerings, your prospects’ abilities, or yourself, your customers won’t either. The truth is, to sell more you need to believe harder. But it’s not as simple as showing up for your business every day. Belief takes more than just showing up, and there are three different categories of belief that you need to focus on.  Keep Reading >> In my coaching, I see tons of women entrepreneurs who lack belief in these different categories and it directly impacts their sales. Some of you are marketing an offering you don’t actually want to deliver. Some of you don’t believe your prospects can get the results you want to guarantee. And many of you simply don’t believe that you have the power to do the selling.  In today’s episode, I’m sharing the three categories of belief that you need to have in order to sell more. The harder you believe in these categories, the more you will sell. I give some real examples of each belief and the ways you can work through your limitations. And, I take you through an exercise to evaluate your level of belief in each category so you know where you can improve. If you want your prospects to believe what you’re marketing so you can sell more, start with believing harder. Today on the Power + Presence + Position Podcast: The 3 types of beliefs that you must cultivate in order to sell more. How to elevate your belief across these 3 categories. Why I always pay attention to feelings of freedom and constriction. Why so many of us have a Superwoman Complex and how it affects our teams.  How believing in yourself is a learned skill.  An exercise for evaluating your belief levels and ways to improve.

Today, let's unpack two big questions for our happiness and success - The great Work:Life Divide: what is the debate really about? AND Work:Life Balance: does it even exist & do we want it? In considering the Work:Life distinction, we look into current Workers' Rights, including hours of work, flexi-time, Menopause policies and #TheRightToDisconnect. We draw some further insights from the Happiness Parenting Gap study and what we're experiencing now through the Covid-19 pandemic as we all learn to #WorkFromHome. By exploring these blurring boundaries and spillage as we chase high engagement productivity levels, we ask ourselves if Stanford University's Ideal Worker archetype is even useful to us, especially in light of learnings from Jon Kabat-Zinn's ground-breaking Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Programme. Then, we dive into Work:Life Balance – does it even exist & do we want it? We look at balance in light of our mother's kitchen scales & smooth-running Wheels of Life and how such useful coaching concepts can become instruments of our own torture! We get to decide now if we really want to continue to buy into the Superwoman Complex or if there's a better role model for you now in Midlife – especially with so many great woman leading the world today. In our self-coaching we can ask ourselves more about what we want in our Midlife, how do we want to live inside, inside our heads and hearts, how do we want to show up in the world, how do we want to lead? Perhaps we might want instead your own version of Artisanal Unbalance or something hilariously outrageous as poet Jenny Joseph describes in “Warning”?

Do you have the Superwoman Complex? Are you a master at performing many roles? Are you the go to person for your family, at your work, and with friends? In Western society, women work hard to manage multiple roles with the constant need to prove she is smart, strong, and self-sufficient. Being a Superwoman, however, is unhealthy, unrealistic, and leads to burnout. On this show I talk about the unhealthy consequences of being a Superwoman and 3 necessary keys to change. My special guest, Dr. Bright Smile, shares her very candid experience of being a Superwoman and the steps she is taking to give herself permission to be human. I hope this show inspires all the Superwomen around the world to take off your capes and be human. Much Love, Dr. Erika :)

Hi everyone! On this week's episode, I get to speak with the “No Superwoman” doc- Dr. C. Nicole Swiner, about why tackling the Superwoman epidemic among moms of color is so critical for our health and well-being and practical solutions we can use to stop it from showing up in our motherhood journeys. This interview quickly turned into a fabulous chat that spanned a bunch of topics including our connection as dance moms of two little girls and reigning in our “tiger mom” tendencies. We also spoke about why tackling being a supermom is not something we can do alone and the importance of getting support and guidance from others. This aligned so perfectly with why group coaching is essential for moms of color,and many of you know, I run my Mama First coaching program for helping working moms of color experiencing stress learn how to invest in themselves.

I brought my girls Shana (IG: @ShanaSpeaksLCSW), Jasmine (IG: @Jymmyyy) and Tiyana (IG: XO.Tiyana) back for Part 2 to finish up the “Superwoman Complex”, which is how African American women normalize everything...including trauma and trying to hold on to the society vision of "you gotta be strong" "you gotta keep the family together" "you'll get through it" while trying to manage every day life. With that being said, we discussed self approval, and the mental and emotional well-being of self-acceptance verses not having it and different ways we can encourage women who struggle with self-belief and how to move away from it. Understanding and describing what self love is to you and how caring for ourselves should be our highest priority in life. Les Brown, motivational speaker said, “Ladies have been groomed to be sacrificial lambs, putting their selves on the back burner in deference to their children’s dreams, husbands dreams and families [....] then become resentful, angry and bitter." Why aren’t we taught to love and take care of ourselves? Why is meeting the needs of others more important than self love? I want to break down the barrier of self love vs selfish. Also we raise the question of self sabotage. What is self sabotaging? Are we guilty of self sabotaging behaviors in our own life? Procrastination, temptation, food cravings, substance abuse, sex, unhealthy relationships. How do people overcome self sabotaging.

Episode 18: I brought my best friend license clinical therapist and social worker Shana Simmons to discuss the "Superman Complex" concept and how African American women normalize everything.....including trauma and try to hold on to the society vision of "you gotta be strong", "you gotta keep the family together", "you'll get through it" while trying to manage every day life. We openly discuss vulnerability between women and how we dim our light so we are less intimidating to others, the act of being brave all the time within your own creativeness, emotional neglect specifically in the black family and the disconnect of the family, getting out the comfortableness of unforgiveness and the "Transparency vs Ethics" among the professional therapist. In that, we discuss the "ride or die" phrase or "struggle love" we discuss the video and article about Pastor John Gray stating, "My wife has endured more pain birthing me than both of our children. She has sacrificed, these last eight years, uncovering the painful areas of my manhood and covering the areas that could have exposed me."

She's lived in the Triangle since finishing residency at the UNC-Chapel Hill and is a co-owner of Durham Family Medicine.

Her first book, How to Avoid the Superwoman Complex discusses the false belief that one person can be all things to all people, perfectly. It can have devastating effects—emotionally, mentally and physically. She hopes this book will serve as a guide for recovering superwomen (and supermen) everywhere to avoid said negative effects, and to make it a little easier and less stressful to take care of one's self and family. Her second book (released August 2016), The Superwoman Complex: A Follow-Up Visit, is an international best seller and takes a more in depth look into how we fix the issues identified and defined in her first book.

It is a story of 13 doctors and clinicians that strive to succeed in passions both within and outside of the practice of medicine.

Along with speaking and teaching, she added publisher self-publishing consultant to her list of duties, as friends and colleagues around her became inspired to write and publish themselves. She published the above-mentioned 3 books through this company.

Many say it takes superpowers to juggle all of these talents – but my next guest, Dr. Nicole Swiner, will say she's no superwoman! She truly is living outside the box. In order to drum up more attention for her practice, she started writing medical advice for her town's  local newspaper. Dr. Swiner's passions are in women and minority health, stress management, and self care. Years later, with a myriad of columns and articles, she noticed that she covered very similar themes and used this to create her first book: How to Avoid the Superwoman Complex: 12 Ways to Balance Mind, Body & Spirit. Her book focuses on the notion that trying to be “all things to all people” is a large reason why people aren't truly happy and healthy. Dr. Swiner did her undergraduate studies at Duke University, and obtained her medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina. From there, she decided Family Medicine was for her, and completed her residency at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. Currently Dr. Swiner is practicng in Durham, North Carolina.

C. Nicole Swiner, MD, is a family physician, wife and mother of 2 in North Carolina. She loves taking care of the family as a whole—from the cradle to the grave. Her interests include Minority Health, Women’s Health and Pediatrics. For her undergraduate education, she attended Duke University and went to medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina, in Charleston, SC. She’s lived in the Triangle since finishing residency at the University of North Carolina and continues teaching medical students and residents as an Adjunct Assistant Professor with the university’s Family Medicine department. When she’s not treating patients at Durham Family Medicine, she’s speaking in the community, writing, or spending time with her family. Her passion is making medicine “plain” to her patients, so that all people, from all walks of life, can understand how to take better care of themselves and their families. Along with speaking and teaching, she added self-publishing consultant to her list of duties, as friends and colleagues around her became inspired to write and publish themselves. Through Swiner Publishing Co., she serves as a liaison and “accountability partner” for those wanting to follow in her footsteps to begin a new career in book writing, marketing and speaking. In January 2016, she launched her inaugural women’s health conference, called “New Year, New You,” and hosted a sold out crowd filled with 20+ vendors, live music, over 14 speakers, 2 panel discussions and give-aways. She hopes it will be the first of many.
