The Priority Paradox: Why High-Achieving Women Struggle to Put Themselves First with Shawanna Kennedy & Dr. Faith Brown

What happens when you’re successful, capable, and dependable—but constantly exhausted?

In this powerful episode of You First, host Shawanna Kennedy is joined by counseling psychologist, performance strategist, and business mentor Dr. Faith Brown to unpack The Priority Paradox—why high-achieving women often put themselves last and how that pattern quietly impacts mental health, leadership, relationships, and overall wellbeing.

This conversation explores:

• Why prioritizing everyone else feels responsible—but becomes costly
• The root causes behind mental and emotional exhaustion
• How unhelpful thought patterns keep women stuck in survival mode
• What the therapeutic process actually looks like and why it matters
• Practical strategies for behavioral change and sustainable self-care

This episode is for women balancing career, family, purpose, and pressure—who know something has to shift but aren’t sure where to start.

If you’re ready to stop surviving and start prioritizing yourself without guilt, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
