I begin today's show with a blog I first published… oh, maybe back in 2013? It's called How to Stop Having Same Old Problems… and it's about exactly that. Yeah, okay. It took me a major life crisis to move past some of the old detritus. But must it always take a crisis? I share thoughts on how to weave your way past the roadblocks and problems you're just sick to death of having.   And on to relationships!   My guest this week is Shena Lashey, host of the Black Girls Heal podcast and a coach, brings us some really good insight about the nature of addictive relationships. I learned all about the fraught give and take between love avoidants and love addicts… and I hope you will, too.   We talked about:   -       How her own relationships showed her what was needed -       What love addiction has to do with trauma -       How love avoidants can't resist love addicts and vice versa -       How systemic racism contributes to the trauma for women of color -       What to do about it, and how Shena works with her clients   Shena's perspective is warm, real and wise… I hope you love this chat as  much as I did.   Love,   Suzanne       RESOURCES   Suzanne's blog, How to Stop Having the Same Old Problems   Free Spirited; How My Daughter Healed Me From the Afterlife   Shena Lashey's podcast Black Girls Heal   Shena Lashey's website, coaching, etc.     OUR GUEST Shena Lashey is host of the Black Girls Heal podcast, and a former Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping women heal from unresolved childhood trauma wounds, break free of addictive relationships, compulsive sexual patterns, intimacy disorders, and build a healthy sense of self-worth and value.

When we find ourselves in relationships that don't serve our needs or may be abusive, our partners can have attachment wounds. Shena Tubbs, creator of Black Girls Heal joins us today to discuss love addiction, love avoidance, and love deprivation. If you find that you fall in love fast with potential or fantasy, and create stories of living happily ever after before truly knowing a person - you may struggle with love addiction. If you experienced relationship trauma that causes you to fear love and relationships, thrive in independence and freedom, you may struggle with love avoidance. If you struggle with shame, self-rejection, unworthiness, and tend to push people away; then you may struggle with love deprivation. *Please note: Information provided on this episode are general suggestions and is not applicable to every situation or person.

Hey! This episode was a quick rant that was not outlined or planned out. So if it seems all over the place it's because it is. But I dropped so many gems in this episode just to re-evaluate your self worth. And how you see yourself. How easy it is to mentally bully ourselves without even a second thought. Also how positive self talk is necessary to life. I use the rainbow and pot of gold as a really good metaphor, which should inspire you to know that even if some things change you can still reach your happy ending. There is an author by the name of Mel Robbins who has a book discussing this topic "The High 5 Habit". I listened to her on Good Moms Bad Choices a few weeks back, that inspired this episode but at the moment it clicked but it didn't CLICK. If you know what I mean. Well this year is starting off great because it's clicked. And I haven't even read her book yet. I just listened to that one episode. Should we read this book in our book club? I think it'll be beneficial. I'm a visual manifestor so I just wanted to picture my inner child....with her little poms poms wearing her purple and green uniform on, cheering me on. What does your little cheerleader look like? How's her hair styled? Which shoulder is she standing on cheering you on? Let's talk about it! DM me on Instagram @femaleenergypod or @shaerayvonwww.instagram.com/femaleenergypod www.instagram.com/shaerayvon**Leave a RATING & REVIEW on Apple Podcast**

This is Episode 11 of The Africans Heal Podcast.

I'm back! It's been a little over a month since I dropped a podcast episode and I've taken the time to do some deep soul searching. Listen in to hear all the things I've learned about myself both professionally and personally and what that means for you and the future of Black Girls Heal. Probably the most important part of my hiatus was self-assessing my ADHD. I've spent years wondering whether or not I have ADHD. Every time I hear someone talk about the symptoms or describe their lives, I immediately think that they're talking about my life.  So, when one of my business mentors released a podcast episode describing their journey with ADHD, I decided it was time. I took several self-assessments and they all told the story of my ADHD. I then made an appointment with a psychiatrist to formalize my diagnosis and to be prescribed medication.  My doctor agreed that I do indeed have ADHD, specifically inattentive ADHD, but unfortunately I cannot take any medication at this time. Now I'm looking for ways to treat this in a naturopathic way, but my goal is to elevate my overall health so that I can, someday soon, be placed on medications to help me with my activities of daily living.  But that's not all. This hiatus was a necessity for my life and business. Listen in to hear all about my revelations and what I focused on during the hiatus. I'm feeling better than ever and I cannot wait to get back into the swing of things and help women, specifically Black women, to heal.    In this episode:  [00:34] Welcome back to the Black Girls Heal podcast! [02:15] I took this time to go through the Recovery School curriculum.  [03:26] It was also a time to self-assess for ADHD and get clear on what I'm manifesting. [05:08] Self-care was a huge focus for me during the hiatus as was personal development.  [06:08] I sought clarity around how I help women publicly and privately.  [07:57] I've suspected for several years that I qualified for the inattention version of ADHD, so I decided it was time to dig deeper.  [11:52] How I approached my self-assessment and treatment.  [14:09] The things I checked off as it applies to inattentive ADHD.  [18:57] After all this work, I'm not able to take ADHD medication.  [23:04] Why I want to be able to take medication in addition to natural therapies.  [26:54] I do not want to see black people continue to struggle with their mental health when they need more than therapy, yoga, or prayer.  [29:00] Stepping into my feminine energy has helped heal broken areas of my life.  [32:00] I'm planning to head out to New York because travel is great for my soul, especially because my trips allow me to connect with students.  [34:30] I've started dropping my excuses around exercise as self-care.  [36:55] Be careful about the things that you say you'll never participate in.  [38:15] The last few things I focused on during the hiatus revolved around the business.  [40:26] I've been wanting to start a YouTube channel for a long time, and I'm ready to do it, but in a different format.  [42:30] I am launching a planner. Listen to learn what this planner is built to do for women everywhere.  [44:42] I'm revealing the name of the new business and who this planner is for.  [46:32] How I used the hiatus to confront and overcome my own impostor syndrome.  [48:17] Stay tuned for all of these updates.   RESOURCES MENTIONED Join our weekly text inspiration list by texting PODCAST to 832-219-7815 Get our free download - The 5 Step Roadmap to Heal Love Addiction Apply to work together in From Avoidant to Available Learn that YOU ARE WORTHY  - Enroll in You Are Worthy here Create balance and love in your life with The Loved Woman Planner CONNECT WITH US ELSEWHEREInstagram: @BlackGirlsHealFacebook: Black Girls HealWebsite: Blackgirlsheal.org

In today's episode I unpack on finding self belonging and inner security first. By that, I mean learning to belong to yourself first and asserting that inner child in you that she is safe. Self belonging is being in a relationship with yourself and getting to know who you are the same way you would if you were in a relationship. Part of getting to know ourselves better requires sitting with our inner child. In this episode I also talk about what happens when we don't know ourselves better and get into a relationship, and how do you get to know yourself better even in a relationship. ~Show notes~ [00:00] - Intro [03:30] - On finding self-belonging and inners security [11:15] - What happens when you don't know yourself better and get into a relationship [18:40] - How do you get to know yourself better even in a relationship [22:00] - This week's affirmation The podcast I referenced her is Black Girls Heal.

Love addiction is more common than many know about, and impacts us deeply. Love addicts may fall in love very easily and/or quickly, they might get lost in the fantasy of being in a relationship, ignore red flags, stay in relationships that are toxic, lose themselves, or not able to let go. Today we are joined by Shena Tubbs, who is a Relational Trauma and Love Addiction Expert, Coach, and Licensed Professional Counselor based out of Houston, TX.

Nerissa provides a sobering interview on damaging stereotypes of African Americans. A riveting interview!

Shena Tubbs, Relational Trauma and Love Addiction Expert, Coach, and LPC joins us to talk about how early trauma manifests in our adult relationships, recreating a cycle from childhood. As Shena shares, healing begins with getting the language and words around family trauma and what did/didn’t happen. Persistent love addiction/love avoidant adult relationships are often a recreation of early trauma, of seeking out people that would do the same, in hopes that it will turn out differently.

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, we're diving into a topic that often brings up complex emotions - recognizing when friendships might be temporary. You know those relationships that feel so intense and meaningful in the moment, but somehow don't stand the test of time? Let's talk about why that happens and why it might actually be perfectly okay.Through sharing personal stories and insights from my upcoming book 'How to Pick Partners for Love Addicts', we're exploring four key ways to understand the natural ebb and flow of friendships. Whether it's bonding over shared interests, connecting through shared trauma, building relationships in forced environments like work or school, or finding yourself in life transitions - each type of friendship serves its own beautiful purpose.This isn't about labeling friendships as "less than" because they might be temporary. Instead, we're reframing how we view these connections, understanding that not every friend is meant to be in our lives forever, and that's perfectly okay. From navigating workplace friendships to understanding how religious communities impact our connections, we're getting real about what makes relationships stick or shift.In this episode, we cover…03:14 Why temporary friendship exists04:11 Four signs of temporary friendships18:16 The complexity of building friendships34:26 How to navigate transitional friendships36:57 The importance of clear communication in friendships44:59 Why you should still embrace temporary friendships46:17 Upcoming book releases Resources mentioned in the episode:Grab copies of my books, How to Pick Partners for Love Addicts and No Contact Support BookListen to Episode 263: Checking the Facts When You're in ConflictListen to Episode 253: The 4 Steps of No ContactReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, I'm diving deep into how I personally use astrology as a powerful tool for healing and understanding relationships. As someone who was once skeptical and came from a Christian ministry background, I share how astrology has evolved from being something I dismissed to becoming an invaluable resource in my personal growth and coaching practice.Through breaking down the basics of natal charts, planetary placements, and houses, I explain how astrology is far more complex and personalized than just your sun sign. We explore why your exact birth time and location matter, and how different placements in your chart can affect everything from how you communicate to how you experience love.In this episode, we cover…02:00 - Breaking down astrological basics 14:00 - Understanding houses & planetary placements 31:00 - The importance of birth time & location 42:00 - Breaking down the four key placements 54:00 - Venus & love relationships 01:07:00 - Practical applications in daily lifeResources mentioned in the episode:CafeAstrology.comAstrology for the Soul by Jan SpillerReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, I'm breaking down the complete framework I use with my coaching clients to transform their relationship patterns — the Bloom Method. After years of helping women heal from love addiction, love avoidance, and love deprivation, I've developed this powerful approach that guides you from identifying toxic roots to cultivating lasting change.Through my work at the Love Addiction Recovery School, I've seen how this method helps women restore their relationship with themselves and create deeper, more authentic connections with others. Think of it like tending a garden: we start by uprooting what no longer serves you, cultivate fresh soil for new growth, harvest the fruits of your work, and learn how to maintain your flourishing garden.In this episode, we cover…00:57 Overview of the Love Addiction Recovery School03:24 The Bloom Method Explained06:23 Step 1: Uprooting the Weeds16:54 Step 2: Cultivating the Ground25:14 Step 3: Harvesting the Fruits29:46 Step 4: Tending and MaintainingResources mentioned in the episode:Listen to Episode 278: The First Three Steps to Heal Love AddictionReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, we're getting real about something that hits deep - what do you do when someone just stops showing up for you emotionally? You know that feeling when their energy shifts, the care fades, and you're left wondering what happened?After seeing so many TikTok conversations about love avoidance and no contact, I knew it was time to dive into this topic heart-first. Because let's be honest - whether it's a romantic partner, a friend, or even family, that emotional withdrawal hits different when it comes from someone you truly care about.This isn't just another "move on" conversation. We're getting into the nitty-gritty of how to hold onto your worth when someone's actions (or lack thereof) have you questioning everything. I'm sharing three powerful strategies that have helped not just my clients, but myself too, in navigating these tough waters.In this episode, we cover…04:31 When you grieve the fantasy of relationships06:35 Your coping toolkit08:52 Coping Strategy 115:57 Coping Strategy 221:46 Coping Strategy 335:41 The No-Contact StrategyResources mentioned in the episode:Listen to Episode 266: 7 Benefits of Taking it Slow in a RelationshipListen to Episode 137: 4 Ways to Exit Love DeprivationGet your 90-Day No-Contact KitReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

When I was dating, I made a lot of mistakes related to how I presented in my intimacy disorders. This week, I'm talking about how my love avoidance showed up for me in my relationships. For me, my personal experience and how that connected to my religious education really amplified a lot of my avoidance which is also discussed. This episode will not span all of the ways love avoidance can show up in relationships as that as been discussed in previous episodes. But we hope these real experiences will help validate and give solace to the women who need to hear these stories represented. Resources mentioned in the episode:Join the BGH's Members Club: blackgirlsheal.org/membersThe 4 Step Roadmap to Heal Love Addiction: https://www.blackgirlsheal.org/roadmapReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, we're taking a moment to celebrate YOU. Yes, you! We're shifting away from our usual conversations about red flags and relationship challenges to focus on something equally important - acknowledging just how far you've come in your healing journey.You know those moments when you catch a red flag early? When you trust your gut instead of second-guessing yourself? When you look in the mirror and actually like who you see? Those aren't small wins - they're evidence of your incredible growth, and it's time we celebrate them!Through personal stories and real-life examples, we're diving into the beautiful transformation that happens when we start recognizing our own progress. From being able to spot those red flags quicker (instead of six months down the line!), to actually trusting ourselves more than other people's opinions, to developing that genuine self-love that isn't dependent on anyone else's validation - these are all victories worth celebrating.This conversation isn't just about patting ourselves on the back - it's about acknowledging that every step forward in our healing journey matters. Whether you're just starting out or you're well along your path, there's something powerful about stopping to recognize how far you've come.In this episode, we cover…02:47 Why you should recognize your growth03:31 Embracing your wisdom05:13 How to navigate life's challenges06:30 Understanding self-knowledge08:26 How to build self-love09:42 Having faith beyond relationships19:22 The power of self-likingResources mentioned in the episode:Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode, let's discuss the importance of recognizing and celebrating personal growth. Reflecting on past conversations with coaching students, I explore three key signs that show how much you've evolved: pausing before reacting even when hurt, becoming open to alternative viewpoints, and feeling and validating your emotions. Alongside these insights, we discuss the impact of sharing emotions with safe individuals and re-evaluating your social circle for healthier relationships. We have been very attuned to keep our focus on our shortcomings but rarely do we allow ourselves to celebrate the progress that we've been making in our inner work.Tune in to learn how to acknowledge your progress, appreciate your journey, and break unhealthy patterns for a better tomorrow.In this episode, we cover…02:49 The inspiration for this episode04:00 How labels from your past are keeping you stuck from growing05:16 Why you should give yourself credit for the progress you've made06:49 Why you need to pause before reacting09:15 Are you open to seeing alternative perspectives?10:21 A tool to use when you're triggered14:43 Example of seeing the alternative perspectives in dating16:41 Example of seeing the alternative perspectives in inner work18:38 Feeling your emotions and validating them20:15 Why people *don't care* about your emotions21:14 What to do when you don't have safe people around youResources mentioned in the episode:Listen to Episode 208: How to Make Adult Female Friendships with Danielle Bayard JacksonReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

I'll also share tips on setting intentions for your no-contact period and how to cut off those lingering fantasies that hold you back.In this episode, we cover…00:58 What is No-Contact?02:45 Why you should take a 90-day break03:10 Four steps to no-contact03:47 Withdrawal symptoms you might experience16:20 What it looks like to cut off all contact21:17 How to cut off lingering fantasies29:26 Support resources to start your no-contact journeyResources mentioned in the episode:Join our 90-Day No Contact Support Group to help you break your trauma bonded relationships, build a full life outside of the connection, heal related anxieties, and make space for healthy love.Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?
