Black women can have an eating disorder. Black women can also have disordered eating habits. The reality is many of us have eating habits that could be problematic. Emotional eating. Mindless eating. Inconsistent eating. Most of this is brought on by the unfortunate inherent stress of being a Black woman. Know that you are not alone. For this important conversation, Dr. Dom and Terri are joined by eating disorder expert, Dr. Tiffany Loggins. No matter your current eating habits, this conversation is for you.

Betting on yourself is not an option, it’s a mandate.

GOAT. Goals are attained after trials. Based on that definition, Four-Time Olympian Chaunté Lowe is a GOAT. In this episode, she reminds us: 1) we are our first advocate; 2) the importance of not missing our appointments; and 3) what tests/screenings we should be requesting from our doctors. Chaunté’s story is one that is inspiring and empowering. The gems she drops are beneficial to us no matter our journey. Terri and Dr. Dom even have some with her during “Oh You Blatchet?”. Be sure to share this story with all of the female-bodied people in your life.

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.
Quote of the Day:
“Diversity is still a huge issue. We need more people of color in positions of power to greenlight content. If you want to see content of color, then it has to be in the hands of people of color.”

Giving birth is one of the most memorable experiences in someone’s life. Yet we know implicit bias and medical racism cause detrimental effects for Black women that can lead to many painful birthing memories. Therefore, who we have on our birthing teams are so important. On today’s episode Terri and Dr. Dom are joined by the doula team, Bare With Me Duo, to dispel myths, share wisdom, and affirm why having a doula or midwife is our ancestral birthright ;)

Remember that a “New Year” can occur at any point in the calendar year so be sure to bookmark this episode for any time you are needing a recharge, restart, or refresh.

S12E8: It Ain't About You Boo: How to Stop Taking Things Personally
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."
-Unknown
Tips to help us stop taking things personally:
- Consider the source
- Identify your triggers
- Choose your plan of action
- do you need to have a conversation?
- do you need to go within and do more healing? See #4
- Address your unfinished business
- talk to your therapist
- create a personal SOP

Lady, are you or someone you know experiencing arthritis, fibromyalgia, long covid, migraines, or gynecological issues? Then you know what it is to experience chronic pain.

Or maybe you ignore it because you are prioritizing everything else- oh that’s just us? Cool. Cool. In today’s episode, Terri and Dr. Dom discuss chronic pain and ways to manage it.
