Sunday Replay: Professional Hacker - Sick At Work

It's that time of year. The office becomes a germ infested incubator of doom. We’re just trying to get through and get by and if you haven’t noticed, you probably have some professional hackers coughing up lungs and sniffling on a daily basis. We are not trying to be about that life. We thought this was relevant because our health is important. Considering Sick Leave and Paid Time Off are precious, limited resources, I’m not trying to use my time off to be sick, but to plan some vacations and tr...

Sunday Replay: Office Pet To Office Threat

Erika Stallings wrote an interesting articled titled, “When Black Women Go From Office Pet To Office Threat.” The article details the traumatic transition professional black women experiences from being adored and guided early in our career to being corporately marginalized and sabotaged once we attempt to establish a name for ourselves. In other words, you go from being everyone’s favorite, i.e. “Office Pet” until you show some ambition and independence then you roughly transition into the Kare...

Sunday Replay: Balancing Your Work and Dreams

*************SUNDAY REPLAY************** As Full-Time Black Women, we know we have the tools to make anything work when we truly put our minds to it. However, also as Full-Time Black Women, we have been groomed to believe our tools should be used to make a soft landing for the rest of the world while neglecting our own. Therefore, we get stuck in a position to be workers and not dreamers. Just think about it, how many women do you know who have passions they have chosen to put off in order to bu...

What is workplace PTSD? Workplace PTSD is characterized by the “different emotional, cognitive, and physical challenges people experience when they have difficulty coping with negative, abusive, or traumatic aspects of their jobs.” This could mean situations such as a supervisor dressing down subordinates in front of colleagues; or being required to be responsive and available to requests at any time of day, including days off; or being asked to perform tasks they aren’t trained for, such as per...

150: Spilling The Tea (Guest: April Sheris - Upland Tea House)

So often we give our all to excel and climb upwards in our professional lives whether it’s the corporate space or entrepreneurship. We see success relatively quickly, get into a top-tier groove and reach a summit we once dreamed of. However, for some there comes a time when the view from the mountaintop isn’t quite what they pictured. And in the comfortable chaos that led to your success, you find peace is more important and a shift occurs. Today we’re spilling the tea on shifting careers and ma...

Enjoy a Sunday Replay with us and learn how you too can start Loving You. As Full-Time Black Women we sometimes struggle with the idea of doing what is best for us.

As mature professionals, we have exceeded expectations. We have gone above and beyond. We hold it down for our employer, our family, our friends and the stranger who needed advice on social media. So naturally after a long day of super woman’ing, it’s hard to admit we sometimes don’t know what the heck we’re doing or how. For FTBW in particular, there are some things that we’re just not taught or things we have been conditioned to ignore. So who helps us “adult” correctly? Let’s talk about it! T...
