Terri and Dr. Dom offer actionable techniques you can incorporate today to help you stay present as you guide your young one. Tune into the Aftershow for additional tips and resources!

Hey lady! When you look at your life does it reflect where you thought you’d be twenty years ago, or is it completely different than how you imagined? If it’s radically different than what you imagined don’t fret. In fact, rejoice because that can be a sign that you’ve been following your unique path. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom sit down and reflect on their lives and process the ups and downs of their respective paths. In some areas, they still have goals they are aspiring to reach and in other aspects, the lives they’re currently leading are far better than what they imagined at 17. Does that resonate with you? Let this episode be an inspiration to keep moving forward in the direction of your dreams. And, also let it be a moment to stop and take stock of the beautiful life you’ve built. If there are things you want to change you have time to make it happen, and if there are things you want to amplify, there is time to make those happen too. So, take a deep breath and tap in!

Today, we’re sharing a preview of one of our favorite podcasts: American Sex. On a mission to change our dysfunctional relationship with shame & pleasure, hosts Sunny Megatron & Ken Melvoin-Berg tackle taboo topics with lighthearted humor & down-to-earth relatability. This clip is from episode 170 Taboo BDSM Play. In it, guest Mollena Williams-Haas discusses making sense of our darkest, deepest, most unspeakable kinky fantasies.

Why are dark, disgusting fantasies some of our biggest turn-ons? How can what’s “so wrong” feel “so RIGHT”? If your porn search history is twisted, you’re not alone. Mollena Willams-Hass joins us to talk about how normal taboo fantasies actually are. We discuss:

• Why the BDSM community can be the most judgmental
  
• How to handle people yucking your yum
  
• The right and wrong reasons to explore taboo
  
• How some examine oppressive systems like sexism & racism through kink
  
• Why understanding your intention behind it is key
  

Mollena also breaks down a common question – can thinking about extreme fantasies lead to the erosion of our personal ethics or doing dangerous things in real life? Even though the subject matter is dark, this conversation is lighthearted and hilarious too. Laugh your way to “strange boner town” with us!

Sometimes in life, we have choice points in how we’re going to handle a situation. We can take the information presented to us and choose how we want to view things. In fact, we get to do so. See, lady, life is full of opportunities to view things in your favor…or not. It’s all about perspective. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri offer their, ahem, perspectives on how powerful the decision to make shifts in our internal dialogue can result in big changes in our external world. They provide ten fire tips to help you make lasting changes in how you view your situation. We’re sharing the top six here. Head to Patreon and check out the Aftershow for the remaining four!

3. Begin saying "I Get To" instead of "I have to..."
4. Make a small change.
5. Use “What I Like About It Is …” and "The pros of this situation are..."

If you struggle with your weight or love someone who does then tune in so you can add ways to be kinder to yourself into your toolkit.

Hey lady, no matter where you are in life or what age you’re currently enjoying, we all know there aren’t any rules to life, but there are social graces that help us journey together. Especially, if you’re a woman or femme. Girl code can seem superficial but is real and actually a useful way to be in relationship with other women. Whether they are your friends or just other women out here living in the world, there are things that we as women do and just don’t do. While some things change, some things stay the same, and being a genuine person is always going to be in style.

This episode is interactive! Check us out on Instagram and let us know what your girl code absolutes are and what are some of your girl code dealbreakers.

Hey lady, ever have an interaction with someone that just felt…off? Or, have you responded in a way that wasn’t your finest moment? Don’t beat yourself up. Being a human is interesting and complex. There isn’t a rulebook, but there are frameworks that we can work with to help us navigate challenging situations with grace. This week Terri and Dr. Dom have a special surprise (check out Patreon for the deets) and talk about the moments in life when we weren’t operating as our highest selves. Those opportunities are rich with information that can help us make decisions from an empowered place for situations in the future. Dr. Dom and Terri discuss various real-world scenarios to illustrate the point that as we grow we develop new tools to help ourselves along the way. Life is, indeed, the greatest teacher! You’ll want to tune in to the Aftershow for a powerful toolkit that you can access while living in the moment. Tap in!

Hey lady, you smell that? Is it you? Probably, lol. That’s ok! Body odor, farts, grown lady smells, tripping, falling, and so much more are all a part of what makes being human a full-body experience. This week Terri and Dr. Dom tell their business so you can feel better about yours. You are definitely going to want to listen to this one with headphones on. They get real about how to handle when your wig starts slipping while you’re getting your back blown out, and how queefing is kinda cool now that we’re grown. Why are they doing this? Because laughter is one of the best sources of medicine and if you can’t laugh at yourself (or your sharts) then maybe you’re taking this life thing just a little too seriously. You don’t need a journal for this episode, but we hope you remember that if you poot in the elevator make sure it’s just you in there.

Last week Dr. Dom and Terri discussed how to identify various forms of manipulation. And, we heard you. It was a much-needed, albeit tender topic, about how we function in our interpersonal relationships. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri move out of the tender area into a place of power by outlining concrete steps you can take to stand 10 toes in who you are as a person and how you want to be treated going forward. Lady, the secret is it all starts with you and how you view and treat yourself. We told you last week and want to remind you to pack a lot of self-compassion and self-forgiveness as you build your confidence muscle in navigating difficult situations with people who may have mal intent. But, there’s hope! Once you master these skills, you’ll be able to walk out and meet life with your head high and your back straight because you trust yourself. It’s hard work to get there, but it’s worth it because you’re worth it! If this episode resonates with you be sure to share it with a friend or sister friend and leave us a 5-star review to let others know that we’re on this journey together and we’ve got you.

Lady, healing isn’t linear, and it doesn’t always feel good, but with tools and strategies, you can navigate life with grace, clarity, and lightness. Dr. Dom and Terri have a deep conversation about the truth of gaslighting, red flags, and manipulation. Maybe you’ve heard these terms recently, but do you really know what they mean? Accessing the language around these pieces of the cycles of abuse can help you create a toolkit that can help you identify them earlier in your relationships. Knowing these terms can also help you identify when you have been the initiator of potentially harmful behavior. Lady, listen to this episode with your journal and a ton of grace and self-compassion. Terri and Dr. Dom clearly lay out the signs so that you can see them early and make decisions from a centered place. If this topic lights up something in you and you want to dig deeper check out these additional episodes:

• S8E9: Getting the Relationship You Deserve with Allison Wellington
• S10E2: Is Your Partner a Narcissist?
• S10E3: How to Finally Leave Your Narcissistic Partner a Conversation with Dr. Ramani Durvasula

Red Flags

1. Gaslighting
2. Lovebombing
3. They don’t respect your boundaries
4. They check in frequently and there's a hint of possessiveness
5. They don't have many friends OR a good relationship with their family (or a relationship with themselves)
6. They want you to prioritize them
7. They try to isolate you and take up all your time and sometimes even bad talk those closest to you
8. You have a bad gut feeling

Lady, it’s the start of the New Year and whether you are a “New Year, New Me” kind of woman or you’re just making improvements to your already dope self, we all know that what takes people from good to great is a healthy mindset. Terri and Dr. Dom sit down with some helpful things to consider as you strategize for your most abundant year yet! They offer their perspective on how subtle shifts in our attitudes can go a long way in our success. Now, lady, you know this is a grown-woman podcast, and sometimes you must have those loving but firm conversations with yourself so that you can keep progressing forward in life. Listen to this now and come back to re-listen throughout the year for inspiration to help you stay on course.

Reminders:

1. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail

2. Be aware of what's owning you

3. Choose your life partner wisely and know that it's okay to change your mind

4. A closed mind is the beginning of a stagnant life

5. Happiness is an inside job

6. You may not get closure from the other person and that's okay. You can be your own conduit for closure

7. You a bad bitch and you got this shit!

Lady, you did it! If you are listening right now you made it all the way to the end of 2022 and we’re so glad you did. It’s the time of year to take a pause and catch your breath. In fact, there are probably some things on your to-do list that are calling for your attention but you’re avoiding them. That’s not a bad thing…until it is. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom sit down and discuss avoidance and the positive – yes, there are some positive effects – and negative effects that the coping strategy can have on your life. Sometimes you just don’t have it to give, making giving yourself grace and compassion one of the most important skills you can cultivate. Dr. Dom and Terri present scenarios where avoidance can help guide you to healing and how to identify when avoidance is creating unnecessary obstacles on your path. Learning how to make avoidance work for you is an important tool for your toolkit. Tap in while you chill out during this holiday season.

Quote of the Day: “Avoidance has never been a great tactic in solving any problem. For most situations in life, not addressing what's going on only makes matters worse.”

This is the time of year where Dr. Dom and Terri take a moment to audit their lives, including their relationships to see what’s working and what isn’t.

Tune in today to gain insight on how to have an honest conversation with yourself about the state of the relationships in your life.

Hey lady, we have a question for you. What do you do when "one of those days" feels like it’s lasting longer than normal? How do you care for yourself when you barely have the energy to get up? We know days like those exist and we want you to know that not only are you not alone – they are totally normal. Dr. Dom and Terri have a tender, honest conversation about what it feels like to thrive as you experience depression. They keep it real about all of the places the mind can go when life feels unbearably heavy and share their personal toolkits of tried-and-true ways to help them become the light out of their respective darkness. As a Black woman, we hope you always know that being real about how you’re feeling is one of the greatest signs of strength. And asking for help is another. If you or a loved one are struggling with suicidal ideation, please check the links below for resources and text 988, the suicide crisis hotline for additional support. Remember, we’re glad you’re here.

Who among us hasn’t heard the common refrain, you just have to love yourself? And, sure, while we may agree in theory, how easy is that to do in a world that tells you to do the exact opposite? According to Elizabeth Acevedo, The New York Times best-selling author of Poet X, Black women suffer the most from chasing the potential of who we are instead of acknowledging that we are enough right now…but it doesn’t have to be that way. Elizabeth joins Terri and Dr. Dom for an inspiring and relatable conversation about how her journey as a renowned poet, author, and now screenwriter led her to the belief that you always have to be in a position to quench your own thirst. She shares gems on how nurturing her connections with her intuition and her ancestors led her to a fulfilling life in full bloom. If you need a little guidance on how to water your own garden, you’ll want to tune in!

In our current state of the world, this is a conversation that speaks to experiences across professions and generations. While many of us grew up happy to see one Black person on a show or would readily support a project even if the story was not being told by us. However, today’s generation is demanding more. Today we want to see ourselves represented in all facets of life. In this week’s episode, Terri and Dr. Dom are joined by the multi-hyphenate Schele Williams to discuss how she is cultivating the culture she wants to see on and off-Broadway.

Rejection. Insecurity. Perfectionism. These are some of the reasons why we may be taking things personally. At different stages and seasons in life, we have all found ourselves in a space where we are asking, “What did I do? Why am I the target here?” Most of the time, it is not about you. However, your reaction is an indicator of something going on within you. In today’s episode, Terri and Dr. Dom help us explore why we take things personally and offer strategies to heal.

Quote of the Day:
"Don't get upset with people or situations. Both are powerless without your reaction."

“You should never not be the leader of your birth and in control of what happens to your body and your baby.” We have all seen the stories and some of us have experienced this first hand- knowing what we need from our doctors, asking for it, and either being ignored or dismissed.

In this episode, Dr. Dom and Terri are joined by The Equipped Mama, Courtney Stallworth, to discuss how parents-to-be can be fully prepared for the birth and care of their new baby.

In this episode, Terri’s current therapist joins Terri and Dr. Dom for a conversation about navigating life and finding peace when someone in your family is diagnosed with a psychological disorder. With so many of us knowing someone (maybe ourselves) who has anxiety and/or depression, we don’t often talk about those with severe mental illness. This is an episode you didn't know you had been waiting for. Lady, get ready to take notes as Eve Marie, drops some healing gems and “Words of Wisdom.”

Quote of the Day:
“ As humans, we tend to hold onto people and things we have a deep love for. Holding on, in general, is about us trying to have control. We hold on mostly because we don’t want to feel the pain and sadness that come along with letting go, so we do whatever we can to avoid those feelings, but pain and sadness are a part of our human experience.”
-Eve Marie

Lady, do you find stocks, cryptocurrency, and diversifying your financial portfolio overwhelming? Then you are not alone.

In today’s episode, Tiffany J shares with Dr. Dom and Terri why “We’re all we got!” in creating the community of Modern Blk Girl to help Black women navigate the world of trading.

Lady, let this song lyric marinate, do some research on the meaning, and then etch this song in your spirit: “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.” Not sure what it means to shine your light? In today’s episode, Dr. Dom and Terri help us understand how we may be dimming our light through real-life examples. Now is the time for us to stop playing small and start “Shining, Shining, Yeah!”

*For insight into the tips listed, be sure to subscribe to the aftershow*

"Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
- Marianne Williamson

Lady, are you ready to stop hustling for your worthiness and become the victor in your story? It is time for us to stop dimming our light and focus on shining and soaring! We are not defined by where we come from and as Bryan Stevenson notes, “ Each of us is much more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.” In today’s episode, listen in as Dr. Dom and Terri discuss how shame shows up in our lives. They also provide us with the internal and external compasses we can create to put shame in its place.

Quote of the Day:
"You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness."
-Brene Brown
How to Put Shame In Its Place

Bring shame into the light.

Become attuned to the script of your inner dialogue.

Develop greater inner compassion with yourself.

Become a “witness to” and mourn your wounds.

Forgive yourself for feelings, thoughts, or actions of your “former selves."

The mother-daughter relationship is a complex one. Some of us have beautiful relationships with our mothers in which they are one of the most trusted people in our inner circle.

Be real about your feelings

Establish boundaries

Ritualistic clearing

Grieving the vision you had for the relationship

Filling your life with the mother energy your mom is unable to provide

Remember that hurt people hurt people; your mom is human

Lady, do you love only one person at a time? Most likely the answer is, no. If you love more than one person, you are, by definition, polyamorous. Say what now?! Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let’s talk about love with multiple people on the romantic level. Today, Dr. Dom and Terri are joined by Kenya K. Stevens of the Progressive Love Academy to debunk some of the misconceptions about having multiple loves. This is a real conversation about the facts, nuances, and complexities of navigating romantic relationships. The Progressive Love Academy has something for everyone.

WARNING: Explicit Content. Not suitable for sensitive ears or the faint of heart. We are talking about sex, vaginas, penises, etc. and use other colorful descriptors for our body parts. Now that we have warned you, lady, today Dr. Dom and Terri dive into Jazmine Sullivan’s new album...Heaux Tales. If you have not listened yet we suggest checking it out and then coming back to the episode. Or...you can play it as you listen to this episode. This entertaining and informative exploration of the album is sure to  bring up experiences familiar for you or someone you know. Thanks to Jazmine Sullivan for telling the world about our complex relationship with our bodies and sex.
Quote of the Day:
"The thing is, dudes can’t handle if a woman takes the same liberties as them especially with regards to sex. Like our society teaches men to be so wrapped up in themselves and their own conquests that they forget we’re sexual beings as well. Plus, their egos are often way too fragile to ever handle a woman who owns and has any real agency over her body. And we’re to blame as well…’cause we’re out here telling them the p*$$y is theirs, when in actuality, it’s ours."

What have you done to achieve your goals? Are you willing to make sacrifices, shifts, and changes to get what you want? Having a visceral reaction to the word sacrifice?

Quote of the Day:
"Conviction and Convenience Don't Live on the Same Block."

Questions we can ask ourselves in the pursuit of our goals:

What am I sacrificing and who is it for?

How do I know when my sacrifice is in vain?

How do you know when a sacrifice is bad?

Welcome to 2021! Have you ever started something (a relationship, job, hobby, etc.) and after a while was no longer interested or things were no longer working in your favor? When those moments come up, what did you do? In January 2019, Terri and Dr. Dom launched the Healing Empowerment Resilience Podcast and have released a new episode every Friday.

5 Signs It Is Time to Walk Away

You’re always exhausted and no longer have interest in it/them

When the only reason you haven’t quit is you’re worried about what other people will think

When the only reason you are sticking with it is because you do not know who you are without it/them

You are not able to visualize a positive outcome

You are no longer clear on your why

If you follow her on social media, then you have been inspired, empowered and enlightened by the daily quotes from our guest today,  Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis. Perhaps you remember when she was a guest on Season 3 Episode 12 in a discussion about healing intergenerational trauma. Or maybe you have listened to her Homecoming podcast. Well, today Dr. Thema returns for a much-needed conversation about mother-daughter relationships. Our mothers are individual adult beings and sometimes no matter the status of our relationship, it may be difficult to acknowledge mom’s identity outside of motherhood. In this powerful interview, Dr. Thema provides us with insight on navigating a healthy mother-daughter dynamic and how to have a difficult conversation. Get ready for the beautiful gems and ah-ha moments.
Quote of the Day:
"As your clarity grows, you recognize sometimes it's not about releasing but instead acknowledging what's already gone or what was never there"
-Dr. Thema

How to have a healing conversation with mom:

Identify what you want

Role Play and Practice

Seek consent to engage in the conversation

Naming the hurtful actions/events

Share how they made you feel

Lady, do you feel like you are enough? Do you believe you are worthy? Who are you when you are not producing or doing something?  The socialization of being in competition with one another and the negative social comparison is  stealing our joy. While we are “stomping down the street like majorettes in the parade with no boots on and pulling the whole community behind us,” do not let anyone say you are not worthy. YOU. ARE. ENOUGH. In today’s episode, Dr. Dom and Terri engage Dr. Jannis Moody in a riveting conversation around acknowledging  our #BlackGirlMagic and cultivating affirming self-definition.

Pandemic, death, divorce, natural disaster, addiction...grief and loss is something we have all experienced. How we define and experience the loss varies. In today’s episode, Terri and Dr. Dom help us understand ambiguous grief. Lady, if you have experienced the physical loss of someone or something while still experiencing them psychologically or the inverse then this episode may give you the language you need to define your experience. Hopefully, this complex conversation between Dr. Dom and Terri will help cultivate the healing you need.
Quote of the Day:
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now that I've learned the hard way, some poems don't rhyme and stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next."
-Gilda Radner
Tips for Navigating Ambiguous Loss:

Utilize “both, and” thinking (ie., opposite of black/white, either/or)

Set aside time to not think about the loss

Reassign family roles

S.A.D. The Standard American Diet. Lady, what do you eat? Is it actually food? Well, if we are what we eat then how does your diet correlate with your health? If we want to address our health we have to address what we are taking into our bodies. There is a science to the who what when where why and how of eating and the impact on our health. In today’s episode, we open up H.E.R Space to master herbalist Djehuty Ma’atra to share with us his path to healthy eating and healing his body. In our westernized socialization, some of today’s conversation may be hard to figuratively digest. We invite you to join Dr. Dom and Terri, in this judgment free zone, as they lean into curiosity to gain a different perspective on the impact of our diets on our paths to healing.

What is microeconomics and what is its role in our daily lives? It is not always directly about money. If you think about the access you have and cost of your healthcare, food, employment, and housing, then you are familiar with microeconomics. From family leave policy to double work day to maternal health to childcare to wealth gap we learn how the pandemic is really having a devastating economic effect on the Black community. This conversation is a start in connecting the dots and learning the language of microeconomics. Join Terri and Dr. Dom as they lean into curiosity to learn about this topic from microeconomist, Britni Wilcher.
Quote of the Day:
" A race that is solely dependent upon another for economic existence sooner or later dies. As we have in the past been living upon the mercies shown by others, and by the chances obtainable, and have suffered there from, so we will in the future suffer if an effort is not made now to adjust our own affairs."
-Marcus Garvey

Can Black people be racist? NO! However, Black people can be agents of white supremacy and anti-Black. Due to how we have been socialized chances are there are times when we may experience internalized racism. Throughout our socialization there have been systems in place to move us closer to whiteness and as a result, shunning people who do not align with white supremacist heterosexist classist patriarchal ideologies. While some of us have found ways to break free from some of these ideologies, others have doubled down in fully aligning with whiteness. Today, Dr. Dom and Terri discuss those who may look like us but are not for us.
Quote of the Day:
"Souls that inhabit white bodies can be allies and accomplices in the fight against oppression, in the same way that black folks can be agents and accomplices in promoting, promulgating and protecting white supremacy. As my grandmother once said, conjuring Zora Neale Hurston, “All your skin folk ain’t your kinfolk.” Meaning that you can inhabit a black body and be an agent of white supremacy."
- Professor Lawrence Ware
Questions that need answers:

What do we do about skinfolk that ain’t our kinfolk?

How do the real Black people unite?

What does it mean to be Black?

How do we hold Black celebrities and officials accountable?

Lady, what has your experience been with white people? Are you accustomed to being the only Black person in a space? Do you have very little interactions with white people? Most of us have experienced racism, microaggressions and other forms of racial trauma. Being Black in America can be exhausting despite how much joy you see. In the current racial climate some of the white people in our lives have been reaching out to engage us. In today’s episode Terri and Dom describe some of the uncomfortable conversations we may have with white people and how we can navigate those conversations with our best interest at the center.

In today’s episode, the Debt Demolisher, Sophia Melone, joins Terri and Dom to share with us how she transformed her “dysfunctional” relationship with her finances.
