Shamyra Parker: Care Starts With Self - a podcast by Kim Honeycutt, MSW, LCSW, CCFC, LCAS

Shamyra Parker Evans is a motivational speaker, mental health advocate, and self-care enthusiast. She shares in our podcast how toxic relationships tried but were unsuccessful in derailing her ministry of helping others receive love.
Shamyra Parker is the Founder and Chief Well-Being Officer (CWO) of Born Boundless International.
More importantly, she is just like you. A High-Impact woman. A phenomenal mother. And someone who needs powerful self-care.
As a self-care advocate, educator and healing ally who creates safe spaces for Black women and W.O.C. (Women of Color) in High-Impact leadership roles (and that includes women in ministry or CEO's of their homes), Shamyra knows all too well how easy it is for powerful women with competing priorities to allow themselves to be pulled in a million directions.
Shamyra comes from a fast-paced, high stress corporate environment, where she managed a territory of three states that often involved overnight travel, all while being a mom of two small children the last 5 years of her corporate career. This was all possible because she was uncompromising in taking care of herself. Self-care not only sustained her. It nourished her. As Shamyra transitioned to having a greater impact, she realized the typical advice that 'the more you do, the more self-care you need' is not a one-size-fits-all solution. When the things that used to work stopped working, Shamyra realized that for High-Impact women only is more not feasible, it simply is NOT enough.
Get ready for Shamyra to show you how to cultivate a self-care lifestyle, not just a casual one-off activity.
She is a community leader, serving as a Commissioner for the Reimagining America Project: The Truth, Reconciliation, and Atonement Commission of Charlotte, NC (RAP-TRACC) — a project of the George Mason University Center for World Religions, Diplomacy, and Conflict Resolution. Shamyra is also a community partner for SEE HER LEAD, an organization created to meet all girls (grades 5-12) right where they are and prepare them to lead in every area of their lives through ongoing personal development training that can be tapped into in and around life's transitions.
