Resilience at Work

Have You Ever Felt “Fine”… But Quietly Exhausted?

You are showing up. Delivering. Leading but something feels off.

Not burnout in the dramatic sense just a constant, low-level pressure that never quite switches off. Those are micro stressors and they matter.

Research from American Psychological Association shows that chronic, low-level stress does not simply sit in the background. It accumulates. Over time, it begins to affect cognitive performance, decision-making, memory and long-term physical health.

Mental Health Awareness Month often encourages people to speak more openly about anxiety, burnout, depression and emotional wellbeing. What receives far less attention is the reality that for many Black women and girls, stress is not only personal. It is cultural. Structural. Repeated. Sometimes daily.

It sounds like progress. It reads like opportunity. What it does not answer is a far more important question.
