You grew. You showed up. You delivered. And still — something feels unfinished, unacknowledged, or just... wrong. This podcast is for high-achieving women who have spent decades performing, producing, and proving — and are now ready to pivot, heal, and build something truly their own. Whether you are navigating a career transition, grieving the corporate journey you deserved, or simply done with a life that no longer fits: this is your space. Each week, SharRon Jamison — author, minister, corporate leader, and healing strategist — delivers honest conversations on corporate grief, spiritual identity, personal reinvention, and the courage to claim what is rightfully yours. If you are done shrinking, done waiting, and done settling for a life built for someone else's comfort: this is your podcast. This is not retirement. This is your reclamation.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-22T16:17:03.213216+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/deciding-to-soar-living-life-your-own-way-7025980"},"episode":{"title":"Beyond Strength: Why the Softness of Black Women Must Be Witnessed","slug":"beyond-strength-why-the-softness-of-black-women-must-be-witnessed","published_at":"2026-02-26T00:31:40+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/deciding-to-soar-living-life-your-own-way-7025980/beyond-strength-why-the-softness-of-black-women-must-be-witnessed","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/deciding-to-soar-living-life-your-own-way-7025980","url":"https://podcasts.helloaudio.fm/download/tRdrNxY5eD/9c43a4c4-68f3-4fad-9722-d57f58a6e70f.mp3","audio_url":"https://podcasts.helloaudio.fm/download/tRdrNxY5eD/9c43a4c4-68f3-4fad-9722-d57f58a6e70f.mp3","summary":"In this episode, I explore a truth we don’t talk about enough: Black women are praised for their strength but rarely witnessed in their softness. And I believe that softness is one of the most sacred parts of our humanity. To be clear: Softness is not weakness. It is tenderness without armor. It is empathy without overextension. It is rest without apology. It is laughter and levity. In this conversation, I share five reasons why witnessing softness matters emotionally, spiritually, physically, and professionally. This episode is an invitation to: • Release survival mode • Reclaim personhood beyond performance • Create environments where growth happens through safety, not pressure • Remember that we are worthy without producing.
