    S24E4: Good Sex with Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons

    Hey lady! You know that we love grown woman conversations here at Cultivating H.E.R. Space podcast, which is why this week Terri and Dr. Dom are delighted to welcome Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons, a leading expert in sex research and the author of Good Sex: Stories, Science, and Strategies for Sexual Liberation, to discuss why good sex can lead to a healthier nation. What does she mean by that? You’ll just have to tune in to find out not only that, but also why putting some thought into your sexual “wishlist” and your “absolutely not” list are worthwhile endeavors for any sexually vibrant woman. Dr. Hargons offers perspective on what good sex is and why deeply meeting yourself can increase intimacy and communication with your partner or help you feel comfort and ease as you slow down your sexual activity. Whatever the reason you have for your sex life always remember that the best sex is the kind where you feel valued and respected – even if that means loving on your body is a solo activity.  So, tap in ladies and cheers to good, ahem…vibes!  Quote of the Day: "My book is giving nerdy Black girl sex researcher with a ratchet brilliant mind and oldest daughter becomes therapist vibes." – Dr. Candice Nicole   Wisdom Wednesdays with Terri Cultivating H.E.R.

    S24E3: Failure is Not Forever: The Power of Creating Your Own Narrative with Marion Jones

    Hey lady! The Fall is often a time to self-reflect and take stock of your life and choices. When doing that life review and assessment, how do you feel about yourself? As a human it’s guaranteed that you will make a mistake in life, but grown women know that mistakes are not what define you – how you handle them is what defines you. This week Terri and Dr. Dom welcome world renowned athlete Marion Jones to Cultivating H.E.R. Space to discuss her unique life path and the lessons learned from the challenges that arose from her time both in the public eye and in prison. Marion shares her powerful testimony about how the experience of facing public scrutiny based on her choices and paying her debt to society allowed her to find the deeper meaning that can help others. Marion offers one important lesson – your mistakes do not define you and only you are in control of your narrative. Tune in to find out the other gems she shares to help you lift the veil of shame that is keeping you from owning your victory!

    S24E1: A Love Letter To Black Women

    Hey lady! We love you, for real. There’s so much going on in the world right now. Everything from the election to multiple genocides on Black and Brown people to the high price on groceries. On top of that it can feel like Black women are being mistreated across the board and disrespected at levels that are often disappointing. What was it that Malcolm X. said about the most disrespected, unprotected, and neglected person in America? Yep, it’s us. But, that is not the entirety of our story – in fact it barely scratches the surface of the wonderous, beautiful, and amazing experience of being a Black woman. This week Terri and Dr. Dom pour into each other and you with a love letter to Black women. This heart affirming, soul understanding episode is meant for the ladies who need a quick reminder that girl, you are the shit and don’t let nobody tell you different! Dr. Dom and Terri share some of their experiences being loved on, supported, and uplifted by Black women in the hopes that if ever there is a low moment in your journey to reflect on the ways that you’ve been supported by your community of Black women. Save this episode and tap in on Instagram. What’s one of your favorite memories of your sister circle?  Quote of the Day: “Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable. – Janelle Monáe   Wisdom Wednesdays with Terri Cultivating H.E.R.

    S23E11: Confronting Conflict: Tools for Successfully Navigating Tricky Situations

    Hey lady! Have you ever found yourself in a tense predicament where you and another person are at odds and have differing perspectives on how to find a solution? These everyday occurrences, also known as conflicts, are natural parts of life and when handled skillfully can increase your ability to relate to others and improve your self-respect. Conflicts can range from things as simple as asking a neighbor to stop blocking your parking space to much larger issues such as how to parent a child you share. There is no right way to handle conflict, but there are ways to improve your chances of finding a peaceful resolution.  This week Dr. Dom and Terri have a framework to add to your toolkit when disagreements and troubling situations arise. Head to Patreon to grab your downloadable copy of the framework so you can review it and adapt it to your personal style. Once you understand how you can navigate conflict with this framework you’ll be in the driver’s seat of your experience and more able to meet life as it is.  Quote of the Day: “The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them.”  – Thomas Crum   Learn more about our advertiser, BiOptimizers, by visiting the link below.
