    S24E7: Redefining What It Means to Be Black, Single, and Happy

    Hey lady! *Cue Beyonce* All my single ladies! Well, you know the rest. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri dive into all of the reasons why being single gets a bad rap and why it’s actually something that can be celebrated. In today’s modern dating climate women are finding themselves with autonomy and choice, which is a delicious and beautiful feeling. Even with all of that personal power, let’s not pretend that society doesn’t still place a stigma on singleness; especially if you are a woman. But, there are so many reasons why being single is the bomb and Terri and Dr. Dom want you to know all about them. Whether you have closed up shop and are totally invested in the happiness of you and your community, or you still long for love but know that life is what you make it – there are plenty of reasons to feel excited about a life of freedom.  Terri and Dr. Dom explore the nuance that comes with being a woman who is free of bitterness because she’s accepted and embraced the gift of time she has to build a life of purpose and meaning so that she can leave a legacy of her choosing. Did you notice the key word in this episode? Happiness is a choice and we hope this episode inspires you to choose only the best for yourself because lady – you’re worth it! Holla at us on Instagram and tell us how you maximize your fly ass single life. And, tune into the Aftershow where the dynamic duo let their hair down in the realest of ways.

    S24E5: 8 Ways You Can Come Home to Yourself

    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 Yourself 1. 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 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.
