What happens when you’re successful, capable, and dependable—but constantly exhausted?

In this powerful episode of You First, host Shawanna Kennedy is joined by counseling psychologist, performance strategist, and business mentor Dr. Faith Brown to unpack The Priority Paradox—why high-achieving women often put themselves last and how that pattern quietly impacts mental health, leadership, relationships, and overall wellbeing.

This conversation explores:

• Why prioritizing everyone else feels responsible—but becomes costly
• The root causes behind mental and emotional exhaustion
• How unhelpful thought patterns keep women stuck in survival mode
• What the therapeutic process actually looks like and why it matters
• Practical strategies for behavioral change and sustainable self-care

If you’re ready to stop surviving and start prioritizing yourself without guilt, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
