ExpertsConnect EP. 9: How to Overcome the Superwoman Syndrome

Have you ever felt caught in the web of wanting to be the perfect woman, wife, housekeeper, cook, mother, career woman, daughter, and friend? Then, you might have the superwoman syndrome, i.e., neglecting yourself because you are obsessed with “doing it all” to perfection and stretching yourself too thin (Marjorie Shaevitz, 1984). 

In this episode of ExpertsConnect, we had a conversation concerning How to Overcome the Superwoman Syndrome with Mrs. Ama Brew, Life Balance and Empowerment Coach, at Empowered for Balance.

Our discussion topics were centered around the following topics.

1. Defining the superwoman syndrome and the profile of a superwoman.
2. The root causes of this syndrome.
3. Ama's approach to helping women to identify and address drainers that deplete our energy.
4. Ama's recommendations for fillers that can help the superwoman to achieve balance and prevent burnout. To learn more, get a copy of Ama's self-care made easy book here.
