Hey, Soulful CEOs! In this episode, I unpack the heavy truth about guilt, self-criticism, and the internal pressure that high-achieving women carry—especially women of color building bold careers, businesses, and legacies.

You’ll hear why that creeping sense of “not enoughness” is a lie, how it shows up in leadership, and what it actually takes to move forward when the voice in your head says you’ve already failed.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

– Why guilt isn’t a motivator—it’s a mindset trap
– How to recognize when guilt is masking deeper stories of shame and over-responsibility
– A powerful reflection to help you question old narratives and emotional responses
– Five ways to move forward with grace instead of grinding through guilt

This is a call back to wholeness.
Because grace isn’t weakness—it opens the door to wisdom.
