Navigating the Complex Terrain
The workplace can present unique challenges for Black and Brown women. Systemic biases, microaggressions, and the strain of being underrepresented are all too common experiences. These challenges can, over time, lead to the internalization of negative narratives, thus tying our self-worth to how we are treated at work.

Unearthing Past Traumas
Past traumas are often silent operators, shaping our self-perception and influencing our responses to current situations. If left unaddressed, these traumas can instill patterns of self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, and a sense of overcompensation.

We might find ourselves believing that we need to prove our worth constantly or strive for perfection to escape criticism. Such belief systems can put undue pressure on us, tying our self-worth to our work experience instead of recognizing our intrinsic value. I know this belief all too well and spent years “weening myself off” of this debilitating drug.

Mindfulness: A Tool for Healing
Mindfulness, defined as the act of paying full, non-judgmental attention to the present moment, is a potent tool for healing and growth. Through mindfulness, we can objectively observe our thoughts and emotions, recognizing when past traumas influence our responses to present circumstances.

This awareness can be the starting point for healing. Mindfulness creates a space where we can acknowledge past traumas and work towards processing them. This could involve seeking professional help, working with a Black or Brown executive workplace trauma coach, utilizing mindfulness practices like meditation, or exploring other therapeutic techniques.

Reframing Self-Worth
As we begin to heal, we gradually disentangle our sense of worth from our professional experiences. We start to understand that our worth isn’t tied to our job title, salary, or how others perceive us. Instead, it is an intrinsic part of who we are.

This doesn’t mean we accept or tolerate unfair treatment or bias in the workplace—quite the contrary. With renewed self-worth, we are better equipped to assert ourselves and advocate for our rights. We can establish boundaries and ensure we are treated with the respect we deserve.

The journey of healing past traumas and rediscovering self-worth is not linear. It is a continual process of self-discovery, self-compassion, and growth.

As Black and Brown women, it is a journey that empowers us to rise above external perceptions and workplace challenges.

Remember, your worth is intrinsic and cannot be diminished by anyone’s actions but your own.

Just because someone says something about you doesn’t mean that it’s true. And even if it is, it doesn’t mean that you need to internalize it and make that a part of who you are or a part of your personality. It could be a mistake that you made and that’s just it. It’s just a mistake. So do not internalize those things that happen. These are things that happen to us. They do not define who we are.

Learn to identify your value in any situation, then stand strong in your value; let that be the guiding light in your life and career. Don’t get “lost” in the media and what is happening in the US with regard to Affirmative Action.

It is important, but YOU are far more important than anything that is going on around you.

So I decided to take this a little deeper and create a workbook with journaling prompts to help you navigate your way through at least starting the healing process on your own.

So if you would like a copy of this free workbook, you can feel free to send me an email through my contact page at AnitaCharlot.com, or you can email me directly at Anita@AnitaCharlot.com. Mention this episode and let me know that you would like a free workbook.

And if you want personalized help specific to your situation to help you heal from corporate trauma, Sis, I’d be honored to support you.

See you in the next episode…
