Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman
Hey lady, this week, Dr. Dom and Terri delve into a topic that affects a third of Black women in the United States – divorce. While the process of divorce can often be painful, tedious, and costly it does not always mean that getting divorced is a bad thing. In fact, it can be one of the most liberating, self-actualizing events to occur in a woman's life.Terri offers her perspective as a recent divorcee and offers actionable tips to help you think through what life can be like post nuptials. And, Dr. Dom offers her perspective as a licensed clinical psychologist who works closely with women to process their lives pre- and post-divorce so that they can write beautiful new chapters in their full life stories.Together, they provide a framework where women facing divorce, recovering from divorce, or embarking on new horizons as a whole, single woman can all walk forward with their head's high and excited about their lives.Tune in for a grounded conversation about the highs and the lows of divorce and give yourself grace for wherever you are on the path. Quote of the Day:“Divorce is not a failure: Redefine failure and success for yourself and what you truly believe about life. Not what society tells us. There are many married people who are quietly miserable; is this success?” – Carol Madden Goal Mapping Starter Guide Cultivating H.E.R.

Lady, if you'll remember in season 27, episode 8, Dr. Dom and Terri broke down the truth about feedback. It is, indeed, a gift but it requires nuance, timing, respect, and care. It is a critical piece in building intimacy in relationships and establishing a baseline of respect. So, how do you build a toolkit that is resilient enough to make your own while being flexible enough to appropriately adapt to the situation at hand?Tune in for five actionable strategies about how to give feedback that is constructive. Terri and Dr. Dom not only offer food for thought but also varied scenarios where having these conversations can get tricky. Tune into the Aftershow for more examples of how providing constructive feedback can be important in the development of long-term relationships. Whether it be with your littles or with your elders, feedback is a gift. How you choose to wrap it, the presentation of the feedback, matters a great deal in how it is received.

Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman
Hey lady! We know you've been doing the work. The real, soul-transformative work that opens your world to new possibilities and brighter days. We're so proud of you for making a commitment to yourself to be a better you for YOU. But, the truth is that healing does not happen in a vacuum and some of the most powerful healing happens in community. What does that mean? In short, it's time to step out of your cocoon so that you can step into your power and purpose.One of the most powerful skills in allowing community to see you, support, and help you grow to your highest potential is skillful vulnerability. We name vulnerability as a skill rather than a tool because it takes learned practice and developed discernment to use it authentically, but baby when it settles in your system you build a level of self-trust that allows you to engage with people and situations with grace and awareness that offers a true richness in life.So, are you ready to expand your capacity for real, genuine, human interactions and cultivate the life of your dreams? Tap in. Dr. Dom and Terri offer a grounded perspective of ways to increase vulnerability and signs that a certain person may not be deserving of your intimate space. As with all things pack your self-compassion and self-forgiveness as you enjoy the ride but be sure to make room for all of the beauty life has to offer when you let the real you shine.If you haven't heard it today, we love you for real lady! Quote of the Day:"Being a Strong Black Woman doesn't mean that you can't be vulnerable. It's okay to cry. It's okay if you're having a bad day. It's okay if some days you feel like giving up. It's okay if you need to ask for help." – Stephanie Lahart Goal Map Like a Pro WorkbookCultivating H.E.R.

On this episode of Majic 102.1's Madd Hatta Show, comedian Earthquake brings his trademark raw honesty and sharp humor to the mic, proving that no subject is off-limits. Fresh from the success of his Netflix special, "Joke Telling Business" and an upcoming Fox sitcom, Quake opens up about how marriage and finding the right woman gave him focus, trading “non-money-making conversations” for true partnership. A proud military veteran, he delivers unfiltered takes on U.S. leadership, modern warfare, and why he finds it insulting when non-veterans speak on battles they never fought. From politics and cancel culture to love, career, and the realities of Black life in America, Earthquake keeps it seismic, real, and hilarious—while reminding fans to catch him live at the Houston Improv before tickets sell out.

Hey lady! The weather's cooling down but for some of us that doesn't necessarily mean that your body is lowering the temperature. Why? Because perimenopause is a thing and it's time we talk about it and why it's impacting Black women more and earlier than other women.Friend of the podcast and all-around boss babe, Dr. Janet Williams, a Los Angeles-based OB/GYN and author of Why Don't I Like Sex Anymore? The Grown Woman's Guide to Getting Your Groove Back and Claiming Your Truth joins Dr. Dom and Terri to get real about a natural station in life for every cis-gendered woman. You may remember the many jewels she dropped in season 25, episode 5 urging women to take more ownership in their intimate pleasure. She's now back to arm Black women with the information they need during one of the most significant changes in life. Once considered the marker of old age it is now a signifier of the strength and beauty that exists in aging. But, before you rise in your feminine power there are some things to know to make the journey smoother…and less sweaty.Dr. Janet not only provides a clear definition of what menopause, perimenopause and post-menopause are but also break down what is happening in the body and provide specific markers you can use as a guide to help you inform yourself about where you are on the journey. Dr. Janet uses her expertise to offer guidance on treatments like hormone replacement therapy, demystifies the sometimes-inexplicable changes happening in the body, and clears up myths and confusion around proper supplementation to ease some of the uncomfortable symptoms that occur during each phase.Lady, you already know where to go to get your level-up journal (Patreon), but there's more on Patreon as well.

The Unapologetic Vixen Podcast: Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman
In this powerful episode of Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman, I dismantle one of the biggest lies we've been sold: that our worth equals our productivity. If you've ever felt guilty about resting, equated being busy with being valuable, or can't sit still without your brain creating a to-do list, this episode is for you. I explore the historical roots of productivity scripts in the Black community, reveal whose voices are really in your head when you call yourself "lazy," and expose what the productivity trap is actually costing you—your connection to your body, your authentic desires, and your relationships.Key Takeaways:● The Productivity Script Isn't Yours: Those voices calling you lazy are inherited survival scripts from generations who had to work twice as hard to survive. The "strong Black woman" mythology equating struggle with worth was a survival strategy, not your identity.● Your Worth ≠ Other People's Comfort: Productivity often becomes a way to avoid disappointing others through people-pleasing tendencies. Your rest isn't stealing from anyone—their discomfort with your boundaries is information, not instruction.● The Real Cost of the Productivity Lie: Constant busyness disconnects you from your body's signals, causes you to lose touch with your authentic desires, and prevents present-moment connections in your relationships.This Week's Action Plan:The Voice Detective Practice: Every time you feel guilty about resting, pause and ask "Whose voice is this really?" Write down the exact words and ask if you'd say this to someone you love.The Values Check: Before saying yes to anything, ask yourself: "Am I doing this because it aligns with my values, or because I'm afraid of someone's discomfort?"Body Wisdom Reset: Set three daily alarms. When they go off, ask your body "What do you need right now?" and give it one small thing it's asking for.Ready to Transform Your Relationship with Rest?Join Natasha's FREE 7-Day Self-Care Reset and go from feeling guilty about your needs to confidently putting yourself first without the shame.

The Unapologetic Vixen Podcast: Owning Pleasure As A Black Woman
In this powerful episode of Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman, I dive deep into the inherited guilt that shows up every time you say no or set a boundary. You know it's the right decision—you're already overwhelmed—but there's that familiar knot in your stomach and the voice saying "you're so selfish." What if that guilt isn't even yours? I unpack how survival scripts from our ancestors, childhood messages about being "low maintenance," and the strong Black woman stereotype create the perfect storm of people-pleasing. Learn to distinguish between your authentic voice and inherited programming, understand the difference between caring and caretaking, and discover practical steps to reclaim your right to disappoint people without carrying their emotions.Key Takeaways:• The Guilt Isn't Yours: That critical voice telling you you're selfish for having boundaries isn't your authentic self—it's an inherited script from survival patterns passed down through generations, childhood conditioning about being "good," and cultural stereotypes about Black women always being available.• Your Body Knows the Difference: Your authentic voice feels expansive in your body—shoulders drop, chest opens, you can breathe deeply. External scripts create knots in your stomach, tension in your shoulders, and restricted breathing. Use these physical cues to identify which voice is speaking.• Caring vs. Caretaking: Caring says "I love you and I hope you figure that out." Caretaking says "I love you and I will sacrifice myself to give you what you need." Your "no" is actually true love—it gives people space to support themselves while preserving your energy for what you truly want to pour into.Episode Challenge: The Guilt AuditStep 1: Notice when guilt shows up this week without judgment. Just observe and acknowledge it.Step 2: Ask yourself three questions:Whose voice is this? (Mom, grandmother, cultural messaging?)What am I afraid will happen if I don't fix this person's disappointment?What would I choose if I trusted that I could handle their reaction?Step 3: Choose one small boundary to maintain this week, even while feeling guilty. Maybe it's not responding to texts immediately, saying "let me think about it" instead of automatic yes, or not volunteering for something you don't want to do.Listen Now:Ready to reclaim your right to disappoint people? Hit play to discover how to distinguish between your authentic voice and inherited programming that's keeping you stuck in people-pleasing patterns!Links Mentioned:• Get Your 7 Days of Self-Care: Visit www.javerywellness.com/reset to join the movement from consuming to creating• Book a Free Consultation: Ready for deeper support?

In this powerful season 6 premiere of Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman, I call out the elephant in the room: you've been listening, nodding along, and feeling inspired—but what happens next? This episode marks a major shift from education to implementation. I challenge you to move beyond the "someday" mentality and start treating pleasure as a daily practice, not a crash diet approach. If you're tired of consuming self-care content without seeing real change in your life, this episode is your wake-up call and roadmap to start creating the pleasurable life you deserve.Key Takeaways:• From Consumer to Creator: Listening to every episode and saving quotes won't change your life—implementation will. The difference between women who consume content and women who act is that they live completely different lives.• Small, Sustainable Shifts Over Grand Gestures: You don't need to overhaul your entire life. Start with one small thing, like taking bathroom breaks when you need them, actually tasting your morning coffee, or saying no to one draining commitment this week.• Pleasure as Daily Practice: Stop treating pleasure like a "someday thing" and start incorporating small moments of happiness, satisfaction, and enjoyment into your ordinary, everyday life—because it's possible and we need it now more than ever.Listen Now:Ready to stop consuming and start creating?

White Woman Triggers Jealous Black Woman for Just Existing in EPIC Thrift Store MELTDOWN
Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman
Hey lady! As many of you know a healing journey is more than face masks and bubble baths. It's a deeply personal cultivation of all of your life's experiences and the tools you've picked up along the way. It's the way you find yourself to wholeness and build a life of meaning and fulfillment and it is hard and cyclical and takes effort. It takes real courage to get into the insides of yourself and choose to grow, but it's possible and it's worth it.This week, Dr. Dom and Terri invite Dr. Raquel Martin, a licensed clinical psychologist and host of the Mind Your Mental podcast, to discuss the rigorous path to living a healed life and the enrichment and reward of finding a path that works for you. Mental health and therapy are buzzy right now but those words are more than a passing fad. Dr. Raquel offers a unique perspective via straight talk to illuminate how people can find a path to mental wellness that feels authentic for them. Sometimes that may be boundaries, sometimes that means finding a mental health professional to work with, but all of the time it requires divorcing our thoughts from the patriarchal and colonial constructs that we use to build our realities. Babygirl, that is neither easy nor is it quick work but it is necessary for lasting change.Wise words were once spoken that it all starts with looking ourselves in the mirror. When we begin to do the tough work of having honest conversations with ourselves, being real about our needs and untangling the deep wounding we have as a people we can begin to see more light in our lives so that we can be the light out in this world. Dr. Raquel may not be accepting clients but if you are ready to amplify your healing with support book a consultation with Dr. Dom or check our resources below for the right option for you! We love you for real, lady. Keep thriving!Quote of the Day:"You deserve rest that actually restores you, not just pauses you." – Dr. Raquel Martin Goal Map Like a Pro WorkbookCultivating H.E.R.

Hey lady! This week, Terri and Dr. Dom tackle a potentially touchy topic – feedback, and the equally touchy topic of how to give it and how to receive it. After listening to this episode, you will be armed with tools for your personal toolkit so that you walk through life with grace, class and style.As each day turns the necessity of having a strong community to lean on becomes ever more present. Community isn't a fantasy of make-believe relationships, it's network of relationships built over time through authenticity, communication, skills, and trust. Without those elements living with other humans and their thoughts and behaviors can become difficult. There are strategies you can use when presented with an opportunity to grow via feedback and with practice you can become a person that maintains your sovereignty while being a strong communicator. So, how do you develop and strengthen the muscle of giving and receiving feedback? How does one cultivate a healthy relationship with offering perspective in a way that is constructive and supportive? Dr. Dom and Terri offer a selection of common scenarios with actionable steps in how to engage with the other person skillfully. Knowing how to process feedback and how to implement or disagree is a key step in growing yourself in authenticity and in community. Interested in customizing your toolkit in a way that feels real to you? Head to the Cultivating H.E.R. Space shop and grab a journal and think through your action plan. We'd love to hear from you about how you're going to make receiving feedback a strength of yours. Holla at us in our Patreon and let us know how you handle difficult conversations and constructive criticism.

Send us a textOur conversation about Black hair takes an unexpected turn when a clip that almost went viral before I turned off the comments to slow down the engagement, showcasing the messy yet necessary path toward healing from texturism and lenthism in our community.• Addressing the fallout when a short TikTok clip from a longer conversation about "long hair for a black woman" sparked cruel comments• Examining how the same content created different reactions across platforms; war on TikTok versus reserved engagement on Instagram• Clarifying that repeating harmful language to examine it is not the same as endorsing it• Challenging the myth that Black women cannot grow long hair; it's a retention problem, not a growth issue• Providing specific medical tests to request if experiencing hair loss (thyroid, iron/ferritin, vitamin D, B12, hormones, cortisol, blood sugar)• Understanding that coily textures have physical properties that make moisture retention more challenging• Offering alternatives for respectful correction: "I hear how that language can sting. Can we unpack why?"• Encouraging description of hair by its properties (texture, density, porosity) rather than perceived valueShare this with a friend who needs the reminder that her hair can thrive, her voice matters, and her words have weight.Support the showAre you a part of our Patreon Community and Family?Join us today and let's continue building and fostering healthier connections with our hair—from the inside out.

We are celebrating the completion of our seventh season! Our season's theme was “Driving the Narrative of Your Career,” as our core questions throughout the season emphasized the importance of setting a personal vision and the journey of accessing resources, advocating for oneself, and practicing self-care while pursuing that vision. In addition to this theme, which connected all episodes, we covered various topics with our guest experts and solo episodes. And, some organic themes emerged across episodes about managing relationships and navigating the workplace politics landscape, navigating change and disruption, and having a growth mindset.

"Sis, You Knew: Trusting Your Intuition as a Black Woman" In this powerful episode, we're talking about something every Black woman has felt—those quiet inner nudges, the gut feelings, the inner alarms that go off even when everything looks fine. Yes, we're talking about intuition.Too often, Black women are taught to second-guess themselves, minimize their instincts, or overanalyze decisions for fear of being labeled “emotional” or “dramatic.” But what if that inner voice is God, your ancestors, or divine wisdom guiding you?#BlackWomenHealing #TrustYourGut #IntuitionIsReal #BlackGirlWisdom #SpiritualStrength #SisYouKnew #PodcastForBlackWomen

Hey lady! You know the saying, “No one cares because everyone is going through a lot”? Well, that's not true. Over here at Cultivating H.E.R. Space, we care. But we also know that everyone is dealing with something, and not everything needs to be shared. That doesn't mean you need to bottle it all up, though. What do you do when the journal just isn't enough and you're not ready to engage your friends in your business?Terri and Dr. Dom explore the next frontier in this illuminating conversation about the benefits and potential harms of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) as part of your mental and emotional wellness toolbox. There are pros, like when you're up in the wee hours trying to calm an anxious mind or soothe a broken heart. Instead of doom scrolling, talking to your AI buddy can help you process your thoughts in real time without oversharing with people who don't need to know all your business.But, there are points of consideration that you may want to review before you share your darkest secrets or (we know this may be common sense but a friendly reminder) your address and identifying information. The truth is, AI is here to stay. And the sooner you learn to adapt to the technology, the better equipped you'll be to navigate our ever-changing world. So why not find a way to make it work for you? Tune in for practical tips on how to create a healthy, intentional relationship with this emerging technology.
