More Than Strong — The Signature Program

The signature program for Black women who are done being the strongest person in every room.

You have been promoted, praised, and relied on. You have also been talked over, watched closely, and expected to absorb things nobody else is asked to absorb. Strength kept you employed. It is also what is exhausting you. This program is about building a version of strength that does not require you to disappear inside it.

Led by Dr. Guan Q. Ellerbe, PsyD, LMHC — organizational leadership psychologist and licensed therapist who has spent over a decade at the intersection of workplace trauma, racial equity, and mental health.

What You Will Work Through

• Naming what actually happened — distinguishing workplace trauma from "just a hard job"
• How chronic microaggressions and hypervisibility register in the body and the nervous system
• The real cost of the Strong Black Woman schema, and how to set it down without feeling like you are losing yourself
• Burnout recovery that does not depend on quitting
• Boundaries that hold in environments where boundaries get punished
• Rebuilding confidence after being managed out, passed over, or gaslit
• Deciding what to fight, what to document, and what to release
• Designing a career that honors both your ambition and your humanity

Who This Is For

Black women in professional, clinical, academic, corporate, legal, and nonprofit settings — mid-level through executive. Whether you are currently in a difficult environment, recovering from one, or trying to make sure the next one is different.

What's Included

• Self-paced modules you can move through at your own pace
• Reflection workbook and guided exercises
• Boundary scripts and documentation templates for real workplace situations
• Nervous system regulation practices you can use before, during, and after hard days
