Ep. 2: Friendship, Business, and the Black Woman Overachiever

Описание: Welcome back to Queen B.E.E Talks Podcast — a sacred space for Black women to heal, reconnect, and reimagine wellness. 💛

In this episode, Shoa sits down with her longtime friend and colleague, Sydni Turner, M.A., to talk about what it really takes to build a business with your friend while honoring purpose, partnership, and personal healing. From college beginnings to community-centered leadership, they share how their friendship evolved into aligned collaboration.

Together, they unpack the realities of the Black woman overachiever—burnout, boundaries, prayer, and releasing the “strong Black woman” narrative.

If you’ve ever considered working with a friend or you’re seeking a softer, more grounded way to care for yourself, this episode is for you.

In This Episode We Discuss:
How Shoa & Sydni aligned in friendship and business
Collaboration over competition in real life
Protecting relationships while building together
The strong Black woman narrative & signs of burnout
Unlearning overachievement and choosing grace
Why community matters for sustainable healing
