Burned Out but Still Standing: Women, Exhaustion, and the Cost of Doing It All
This talk explores how modern women—especially mothers and caregivers—are quietly burning out while being praised for their strength. I unpack the difference between resilience and self-abandonment, and how burnout often disguises itself as “being responsible.” Through storytelling and practical reframes, I show women how to recognize the warning signs before their bodies and spirits force a shutdown. This talk offers permission to rest without guilt and redefine success in sustainable ways.

Books by Trey Anthony
“Black Girl In Love (with Herself): A Guide to Self-Love, Healing, and Creating the Life You Truly Deserve” (2021)
Speaker, writer, and producer Trey Anthony breaks it down, giving black women a relatable voice and personalized "keeping it real" to-do list on how to practice self-love and self-care. Therapy is not just for white women-no matter what your momma told you! After a lifetime of never truly relating to the personal development experts because of the color of her skin, Trey Anthony has written the book she needed to read as a black woman trying to navigate a world filled with unique challenges that often acts like she doesn't exist.
“How Black Mothers Say I Love You” (2017)
Claudette still can't forgive her mother for leaving. For six years of her childhood, Claudette and her sister Valerie were left with their grandmother while their mother, Daphne, moved from Jamaica to the United States to start a new chapter for their family. But in that time, Daphne remarried and had another daughter.Claudette, now in her late thirties, travels to visit her dying mother in Brooklyn, but that doesn't stop her anger and abandonment issues from bubbling up. It doesn't stop Daphne from voicing her opinions on how Claudette lives her life, either. With Daphne, Claudette, and Valerie all under one roof again, each family member is forced to confront their emotions while there's still time.Though rooted in buried strife and sadness, How Black Mothers Say I Love You is full of humour, love and tenderness as it explores the complicated perceptions of immigrant mothers.
