TheBeyondWoman Conversations

What does it mean to build a life of impact without losing yourself in the process?
In this episode of TheBeyondWoman Conversations Podcast, host Jacqueline Johnson sits down with Trinidad and Tobago entrepreneur, author, and systems strategist Krystle Phillips for an honest conversation about leadership, visibility, entrepreneurship, and the evolution of personal identity.

She is also the author of Breaking Barrels: Unparenting the Parent and Misdiagnosed: Why Micro Agro-Processors Are Set Up to Fail.
Together, Jacqueline and Krystle explore what it means to step into greater visibility without sacrificing authenticity, why sustainable success is built on systems rather than constant hustle, and how Caribbean women can embrace both strength and femininity while leading with confidence.

Most women spend their lives caring for everyone else.
We show up for our children, our partners, our parents, our businesses, and our communities. But how often do we stop and ask ourselves one important question:
What would happen to the people I love if I weren't here tomorrow?
In this powerful episode of TheBeyondWoman Conversations Podcast, we sit down with Bridgette Prendergast-Francis, a Financial Advisor, mother of two, and passionate advocate for helping families build financial security through life insurance and financial planning.
Bridgette shares a deeply personal story about a life-threatening health scare that forced her to confront the reality that tomorrow is not promised. As the mother of a son with special needs, she found peace in knowing that provisions were already in place to ensure her loved ones would be cared for if the unexpected happened.
Together, we explore why financial protection is one of the greatest gifts we can leave our families, the common mistakes women make in planning, and the simple steps every woman can take to create greater security and peace of mind.
This conversation isn't about fear.
It's about love, preparation, and protecting the people who matter most.
In This Episode
Bridgette's journey into financial services
The life-changing health scare that reshaped her perspective
Why financial protection became personal
Planning for a child with special needs
Common myths women believe about life insurance
Why caregivers need protection too
The financial realities families face when there is no plan
The biggest mistakes women make with financial planning
Practical first steps to building a protection plan
Creating a legacy that lasts beyond your lifetime
Memorable Takeaway
"The greatest act of love is not only how we care for people while we're here—it is how we prepare for them if we're not."

Hosted byJacqueline Johnson, Founder of TheBeyondWoman
There is a version of depression that doesn’t stop your life; it just quietly drains it.
In this episode, Jacqueline Johnson opens up a needed conversation around functioning depression in Caribbean women, the kind that hides behind productivity, responsibility, and “holding it together.” This isn’t about not showing up; it’s about showing up while feeling disconnected, exhausted, and slowly losing touch with yourself.
We get into what this actually looks like for high-achieving women, for single women, and for women raising children while carrying emotional and mental loads that often go unseen.
This episode goes deeper into the real drivers behind it, including chronic stress, emotional suppression, and role overload, and how these patterns don’t just affect your internal state but begin to shape your relationships, your boundaries, and the decisions you make when you are running on empty.
This is not just a conversation about what’s wrong; it’s about what is possible, how to begin reconnecting with yourself, how to rebuild your emotional capacity, and how to return to a life you are not just managing, but actually present in.
And for those leaning on faith, this episode gently brings you back to the reminder that God meets you even in the quiet, functioning kind of brokenness.
What We Talk About
What functioning depression actually looks like beyond the stereotypes
Why high-achieving women are more at risk of masking it
The impact of chronic stress on the brain and body
Emotional suppression and how unprocessed feelings build over time
Role overload and the silent burnout many women normalize
Losing interest in things you once loved and what that really means
How depletion affects your relationships and boundaries
Why you may tolerate more or go with the flow when you’re not fully present
Practical ways to begin restoring your energy and emotional clarity
Returning to God as a source of strength and renewal
A Real Moment From This Episode
“When something that once felt like purpose starts to feel like pressure, you begin to question not just the work, but yourself.”
Scripture Reflection
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” — Isaiah 40:31
Share This Episode
If this resonated with you, send it to a woman who might be quietly carrying more than she shows. You never really know who is functioning but struggling.

Too many Caribbean women have been taught to live with discomfort, normalize pain, and put their health last.
From painful periods to hormonal imbalances, fibroids, and fertility challenges, the conversation around women’s health has often been quiet, misunderstood, or delayed until something goes wrong.
But that has to change.
In this episode of TheBeyondWoman Conversations Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Rachel Corridon, obstetrician and gynecologist, and founder of Harmony Health, also known as “Your Gentle Gynecologist.”
She’s redefining what women’s healthcare can feel like — more compassionate, more informed, and rooted in dignity and choice.
This is not just a medical conversation.It’s a necessary one.
What We Talk About
Why have so many Caribbean women been conditioned to normalize pain
The truth about fibroids and why they are so common among Black and Caribbean women
What a compassionate, patient-centered approach to gynecological care really looks like
How to overcome fear and start viewing doctor visits as a form of self-care
Understanding PCOS, fertility challenges, and the role of lifestyle in reproductive health
Early warning signs you should never ignore when it comes to your body
What does “Your body. Your baby. Your way.” really mean for pregnancy and birth choices
The reality of balancing health while being everything to everyone
Gaps in women’s healthcare across the Caribbean and what needs to change
Simple, practical steps every woman can start taking to better care for her health
Why This Conversation Matters
When women don’t have the right information, we delay care.When we delay care, we live longer with discomfort, confusion, and sometimes preventable complications.
This episode is a reminder that:
You are allowed to ask questions.You are allowed to seek answers.And you are allowed to prioritize your health without guilt.
About Our Guest

Final Thought
Taking care of your health is not something you squeeze in when everything else is done.
It is the foundation that allows you to show up fully in every area of your life.
Start paying attention. Start asking questions. Start choosing yourself.

In this episode of TheBeyondWoman Conversations Podcast, Jacqueline sits down with Dr. Kerriann Peart for a conversation on leadership, burnout, perimenopause, and the evolving professional identity of Caribbean women.
Across the world, research from McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.Org shows women leaders report significantly higher levels of burnout than their male counterparts. While studies from Deloitte also reveal that nearly half of women say they feel burned out at work.
But statistics alone will not tell the complete story.
In this conversation, Jacqueline also shares her experience navigating a period of burnout while leading. A time when she felt creatively drained, disconnected, and unsure how to articulate what she was going through.
The episode also explores the often unspoken impact of perimenopause on mental health and professional identity, a reality many women face but rarely discuss openly. Together, Jacqueline and Dr. Peart will try to unpack how Caribbean women can begin to understand these transitions with the right language, empathy, and awareness.
This is not just a leadership conversation.
It’s a whole-woman conversation.
About Our Guest
Dr. Kerriann Peart is a trusted voice on leadership, burnout, and professional well-being, particularly for women navigating complex organizational environments. With a background in organizational psychology, public health, and executive coaching, she brings both academic insight and lived leadership experience to her work.
She challenges traditional ideas of high performance that prioritize output over people, instead helping leaders develop the clarity, cultural awareness, and emotional intelligence needed to lead effectively in demanding environments.
Dr. Peart works with executives, managers, and professional women across the Caribbean and the diaspora, encouraging leaders to rethink how success is defined and sustained.
The Beyond Woman Listener Challenge
Before you move on with your day, take 10 quiet minutes to check in with yourself and honestly reflect on these three questions:
Am I simply tired, or am I actually burned out?
What has my mind or body been trying to tell me that I’ve been ignoring?
What is one small thing I can do this week to care for myself better?
There is no pressure to have perfect answers. The challenge is to pause, reflect, and be honest with yourself

Gatekeeping doesn’t always look like exclusion. Sometimes it looks like silence, withheld information, or opportunities that never get shared.
In this solo episode of TheBeyondWoman Conversations Podcast, host Jacqueline Johnson explores how gatekeeping — especially among women — quietly limits growth, leadership, and collective success. Grounded in real-world experience, Caribbean context, and research-backed insight, this episode challenges the scarcity mindset many women were conditioned to adopt and offers a healthier, more sustainable alternative.
This is not a conversation about blame.It’s about awareness, responsibility, and building a culture where women don’t just rise — they rise together.
What We Cover in This Episode
What gatekeeping really looks like in women’s spaces (and why it often goes unnoticed)
The historical and cultural roots of scarcity thinking among women
Why access, networks, and sponsorship matter more than talent alone
Research-backed insights on how collaboration improves leadership outcomes and mental health
Real-life examples of gatekeeping in workplaces, business, and community spaces
The growing counterculture of women who “gate-open” instead of gatekeeping
The difference between mentorship and sponsorship — and why both matter
The personal and economic benefits of letting go of gatekeeping
Practical, actionable ways to build supportive, high-achieving women’s communities
References
World Bank data on women’s workforce participation and leadership gaps
Harvard-affiliated research on networks, sponsorship, and career advancement
UN Women insights on gender, access, and economic inclusion
Caribbean-specific realities around informal networks and opportunity flow
(References discussed conversationally during the episode)
Gatekeeping may feel like protection in the moment, but over time it limits impact, isolates leadership, and slows collective progress. Real power isn’t holding the key. It’s changing who gets access in the first place.
Listener Challenge
This week:
Speak a woman’s name in a room she’s not in
Share an opportunity you could have kept to yourself
Make one introduction that costs you nothing but could change everything
That’s how cultures shift. That’s how power moves.

What happens when you stop waiting to be chosen—and choose yourself instead?
In this powerful episode of TheBeyondWoman Podcast, host J sits down with Charise Beckett, leadership strategist, author, and advocate for women of colour who are redefining leadership beyond titles, burnout, and outdated systems.
Charise shares her journey of navigating corporate spaces where her voice was often minimized, the moment she decided to stop waiting for permission, and how that decision led her to build a thriving business rooted in both excellence and wellness. She introduces her P.O.I.S.E.™ Framework, a practical approach designed to help women lead with clarity, confidence, and sustainability—without sacrificing themselves in the process.
This conversation is honest, affirming, and deeply practical. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the pressure to shrink to fit in, this episode will meet you right where you are—and challenge you to rise.
In this episode, we cover:
The defining moment Charise stopped waiting for validation and chose herself
The real challenges women of colour face in leadership spaces
How to thrive beyond burnout instead of glorifying it
Shifting from hesitation to confident action
Leading before the title and owning your voice
Honouring cultural identity in business and leadership
Protecting wellness while pursuing ambition
Building legacies that reflect your voice—not pre-set molds

This episode is one for the books.
In this intimate, soul-stirring conversation, Jacqueline sits down with Dee-Ann Kentish-Rogers, attorney-at-law, athlete, politician, trailblazer, and the first Black Caribbean woman crowned Miss Universe Great Britain. But today, titles take a back seat. What unfolds is an honest, grounded, sister-to-sister conversation between two Caribbean women who carry big dreams, big purpose, and even bigger vision for our region.
You’ll hear Dee-Ann open up about what shaped her, what grounded her, and what keeps her anchored as she navigates the world as a woman committed to integrity, service, and possibility. She shares candid reflections on growing up in Anguilla, the roots of her resilience, and how being from a “small place” has actually carved out her strongest superpowers.
Together, we dive into the realities of Caribbean leadership, the challenges we still face as women, and why “small island, big dreams” is needed. Dee-Ann also speaks on community, Caribbean pride, the weight and beauty of representation, and the layers that make up her multidimensional life.
This episode feels like sitting outside on a breezy Caribbean evening, chatting with a wise, real, and deeply committed friend who is committed to seeing her people rise.
IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:
What really led Dee-Ann into politics
The childhood seeds of focus, drive, and discipline
How she navigates public life with integrity
“Small Island, Big Dreams” — and why the world needs our perspective
How she defines Caribbean women's power
The one thing she would change in the world today
Who she dreams of meeting and so much more...
WHY YOU SHOULD LISTEN
If you are a Caribbean woman with ambition, purpose, or dreams that feel “too big,” this episode will affirm you, steady you, and remind you that your roots are not a limitation—they are a launchpad. Dee-Ann’s honesty, clarity, and conviction will light something up in you.
