    The Smile That Hides the Pain – Why So Many Black Women Mask Their Mental Health Crises | MINISODE

    Hey lady! You know we love a mental health check-in, so we want you to answer one simple question for us…are you good? We mean that for real, are you good? Are you ok? How are you? Ok, that was three questions but you get the gist. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri stop by to holler at the strong Black women in our community to let them know that we see you. We see you getting up each day and giving it your all even if on the inside it is a struggle. This week they invite you to place the mask to the side and look in the mirror and assess how you are feeling and how you are doing. You can lay the armor down and tend to the parts of yourself that are tender without judgment. Doing so can help you avert full on meltdown or burnout because truthfully lady, ain’t nobody got time for that. So do yourself a favor, give yourself a hug or take a nap and allow yourself to validate your own humanity with self-compassion. As always, we have a community of like-hearted women who will welcome you with open arms. You are not out here alone, lady.

    No Is a Complete Sentence | TBT

    Can you think of a time when you’ve had to say no or struggled to say no? Who have you had to say no to? How do you feel when you have to say? These situations are boundary testers and using “No” is a way for us to outline our rules of interaction. In this throwback episode, Terri and Dom offer us ways to say "No" within real-life situations, including instances in which they were successful, someone was clear with them on a boundary, and times when they struggled with saying "No." If you want to stand up for yourself in those uncomfortable moments, practice in the mirror, in the shower, in the car and remember... “No." It’s a complete sentence. I said what I said and it does not require justification or explanation.     Quote of the Day: "Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others." – Brené Brown    Resources: 20 Ways to Say NO- How to Say No And Why You Should Say It More    49 Ways To Say No To Anyone (When You Don’t Want To Be A Jerk)Therapy for Black GirlsPsychology Today   Where to find us: Twitter: @HERspacepodcast Instagram: @herspacepodcast Facebook: @herspacepodcast Website: herspacepodcast.com Email: herspacepodcast@gmail.com   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
