Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman
Hey lady! It's Fall and for many, it's officially homecoming season; the season when they'll reunite with old classmates to reminisce on the fun times of their youth, but this week Terri and Dr. Dom want to focus on a more personal homecoming, one that is universally more accessible to all.Dr. Thema Bryant, a friend of the show and two-time previous guest, discusses the power of finding a path home to yourself on her podcast The Homecoming Podcast. She offers wisdom on all of the various ways we lose ourselves as we journey through life and provides strategies on how to cultivate the tools needed to journey through life with wholeness. Dr. Dom and Terri draw inspiration from her podcast and dive deep into the elements that make a personal homecoming something you can delve into at your own pace.Bittersweet undertones run through homecomings because they often come from tough lessons, but the glory and self-respect that you can generate from making the decision to return to yourself is often the greatest reward. Dr. Dom and Terri offer tips to help you usher in your personal homecoming. Whether it's your first self-awakening or the latest chapter in an incredible story you have the tools to write the most beautiful scenes yet. 8 Ways You Can Come Home to Yourself1. Engage in Self-Reflection: Take time for introspection through journaling or meditation. Reflecting on your thoughts and experiences helps clarify your values and desires, fostering a deeper connection with your authentic self. Research shows that expressive writing can significantly enhance self-awareness and emotional health.2. Practice Mindfulness: Incorporate mindfulness techniques into your daily routine to cultivate presence and self-awareness. Mindfulness meditation can reduce anxiety and increase acceptance of your thoughts and feelings, promoting self-compassion.3. Set Healthy Boundaries: Learn to say no and prioritize your own needs. Establishing boundaries is crucial for self-care and maintaining your sense of self in various relationships.4. Nurture Your Inner Child: Engage in activities that bring you joy and creativity, reminiscent of your childhood. This process can heal past wounds and foster a sense of freedom and authenticity, allowing you to reconnect with who you truly are.5. Build a Supportive Community: Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you. Having a network of like-minded individuals can reinforce your self-worth and provide encouragement on your journey of self-discovery.6. Prioritize Self-Care: Make time for activities that promote your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Regular self-care practices can lead to increased self-love and help you reconnect with your desires and needs.7. Pursue Your Passions: Identify and engage in hobbies or interests that ignite your passion. Pursuing what you love enhances your self-identity and fulfillment, allowing you to express your true self.8. Embrace Change and Growth: Recognize that personal growth often requires stepping out of your comfort zone. Embracing change fosters resilience and helps you adapt to new aspects of yourself, ultimately leading to a stronger sense of self.Quote of the Day:“Homecoming is a return to authentic living that is based on truth, self-acceptance, and an aligning of action with values and purpose.” –Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis, Homecoming: Overcome Fear and Trauma to Reclaim Your Whole, Authentic Self Wisdom Wednesdays with TerriCultivating H.E.R.

What is trauma? How does it manifest in our lives? How is trauma passed down through generations or within communities? And most importantly, what can we do about it? Most of us have some experience with trauma, but rarely, if ever, are we encouraged to discuss it. Instead, we are encouraged to muscle through it or transcend it. In this episode of the WebMD Health Discovered podcast, we explore the impact of trauma in our lives and the often-overlooked topic of intergenerational trauma. We spoke with Thema Bryant, PhD, host of the Homecoming podcast, author of Homecoming: Overcome Fear and Trauma to Reclaim Your Whole, Authentic Self, and 2023 president of the American Psychological Association. Dr. Thema is a tenured professor of psychology in the Graduate School of Education and Psychology at Pepperdine University, where she directs the Culture and Trauma Research Laboratory. Dr. Thema unpacks how traumatic stress disrupts the nervous system and is passed down through generations and within communities. She highlights the importance of honoring the survival skills of people who came before us, how we can adopt and model healthy coping methods, and how we can appropriately talk with future generations about our lived experiences of trauma to help them go from just surviving to thriving.
This week I'm excited to talk with licensed psychologist, professor, poet, and author of Homecoming: Overcome Fear and Trauma to Reclaim Your Whole Authentic Self.

As humans, we are people pleasers. We want connection, community, and a feeling of belonging. As young kids, we do things to please our parents, our teachers, and friends. Then as adults, we want to fulfill the needs of our bosses, partners (romantic or otherwise), and so on. Podcasting can have that same reflection. We want to delight our listeners, teach or entertain them with our thoughts and stories. But when you think about how you feel and how you may sound, all of those feelings impact your listeners and how they feel. It's not about you. It is about them. So let's get into that feeling.

Hablamos sobre: ¿Cómo maternarnos y darnos lo que no recibimos de nuestros padres? (Estructura, destrezas de comunicación, pedir perdón, auto compasión, amor propio, confiar en ti, auto regulación, etc.) Es posible ser agradecidas con nuestras madres por lo que hicieron pero a la vez expresar que necesitabamos otras cosas de ellas. Lo complicado que es exigir más de nuestras madres cuando ellas no tenían mucho apoyo para criarnos Lo mucho que nos irrita las personas que no tienen conciencia de sí ni destrezas de inteligencia social Tips para manejar la presión del fracaso, combatir el síndrome de impostor y re definir nuestros logros. La modestia no le sirve a las mujeres y femmes. Tenemos destrezas que tienen valor y que no nos enseñan a reconocer porque se asocian con la personalidad de una mujer. El impacto de cuando nos alagan por no expresar necesidades desde niñxs. El costo económico de sanar traumas y ser sobreviviente de violencia secuaz. Les modelamos un ejemplo auto regulación a través de la respiración y otro ejemplo para analizar tu círculo de apoyo. Puti(a)rte-Poemas de Warsan Shire con temática de maternarnos, ser nuestro propio fuego, sanar heridas seccuales generacionales. Ser mujer feminista y entender los traumas de tu jevo pero eso no significa que los tienes que tolerar. También hablamos de no ser el hogar de otra persona sin reciprocidad.
