$0.00
Do you feel like you’re doing it all for everyone-all the time? This book offers mindful self-awareness practices to help you prioritize self-care, soothe stress, and create a life of joy, fulfillment, and well-being.
In The Black Woman’s Guide to Coping with Stress, Black psychologist and registered nurse Cheryl Woods Giscombe introduces the innovative, research-based superwoman schema (SWS) framework-five core beliefs that drive Black women’s stress-and provides self-care practices grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion to help you live a life of joy and greater well-being.
In this empowering guide, you’ll identify the core beliefs that may be contributing to your experience of stress-that you must always be strong, hide your emotions, resist vulnerability, succeed even in the face of inadequate resources, and always help others while neglecting self-care. You’ll learn how these beliefs can lead to burnout and a feeling of imbalance in your life. And finally, you’ll discover how to harness the strengths within these beliefs, so they no longer cause you harm. There’s nothing wrong with being strong-but sometimes it’s essential to “take off your superwoman cape,” recharge, and prioritize self-care. You are worth it. This book will help you gain the self-awareness you need to stay balanced and live your very best life.

TRULY A LIFE CHANGING BOOK
“The Black Woman’s Guide to Managing Stress” by Dr. Cheryl Woods Giscombé came into my life at just the right time. Although my life is filled with blessings, like many, I still face stressors that can feel overwhelming. This book felt like a lifeline during a critical moment, offering not only wisdom but practical, deeply relatable tools for navigating stress.As I read through the pages, I saw myself reflected in so much of the contentâit was like Dr. Giscombé was speaking directly to me and my experience. But what really made this book impactful were the exercises. I found genuine solace and strength in them, going back to these practices time and time again. My copy has become well-worn, with dog-eared pages from countless returns to these powerful tools.Most importantly, this book gave me permission to be free. Dr. Giscombé has crafted something more than a guide; itâs a nurturing companion, reminding Black women that we deserve peace, balance, and joy in our lives. I canât recommend this book enough for anyone seeking to not just manage stress but to live more fully and freely.A must-read!
