Is Your Way In Your Way? How Black Women Overcome Self-Doubt, Comparison & Career Masks
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful and transparent conversation, Dr. Ebony Stone sits down with author and podcast host Cassandra Crawley-Mayo to explore the question many high-achieving women quietly ask themselves:
Is my own thinking… holding me back?
From navigating corporate spaces as the first Black woman in leadership roles, to learning how comparison can rob us of joy, Cassandra shares deeply personal lessons from her book Is Your Way In Your Way? and explains how we can move from burnout and self-doubt to clarity, purpose, and authentic success.
This episode is a reminder that growth often requires us to step aside and allow our purpose to step forward.
