    when you feel like giving up

    TW: Suicidal Thoughts | To the black girl who is feeling ready to give up on something because it hurts too much to keep hoping, I see you. No one is immune to the feeling of giving up, of feeling like a situation is hopeless to change or that it is no longer worth it to try. Still, we often keep yearning for reasons to keep going, ways to make the pain of disappointment fade, and a push in the right direction. Even when it feels like hope is lost, there’s usually more: more reasons, more insights, more support to keep you moving towards the life, the love, and the dreams you desire. In this episode, we gently explore different ways to show up in our hopelessness that can help move us towards the relief and renewed passion we wish to have again. -- This piece is the official start of our multi-month series: Writing the Story of Being Seen. In the presence of the final months of 2026, we are getting intimate with our own stories. We’ll ask questions like: who wrote this story, who holds the pen, is this story full and honest, and how do I really want this story to end, or more importantly, how do I want this new part of my story to begin? September bring a series of solo episodes that leaves us seeing differently, because when we embrace a new perspective, we also open ourselves up to new parts of ourselves and new answers to the questions our hearts have been begging to be answered.  -- I look forward to the rest of 2026 has in store for us, and I hope it leaves you feeling a lot more seen, heard, held, and hopeful.

    when you are ready to live for you

    To the black girl who realized she’s been living for everyone else, who’s ready to finally live inside your own dreams, I see you.

    allowing space for desire

    When was the last time you allowed yourself to truly want something? Sometimes, we think we are being strong by resisting our desires, but we're actually denying ourselves a deeply honest part of yourself. Allowing ourselves to connect with, own, and lean into our desires—and trusting in our worthiness to have them—is how we feel seen. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Never miss an episode by subscribing to the⁠ ⁠Seen Sunday newsletter⁠⁠.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Find⁠ ⁠resources and support⁠⁠.

    You Deserve to Feel…Connected: the Vulnerability of Being Open w/ Michaiah Dominguez-Brown, LMHC

    Connection and intimacy: it’s what we all say we want, but we often remain unwilling to do what it takes to get it. In modern times, practicing vulnerability and openness keeps being pushed to the bottom of our lists, especially as adults in an ever-growing lonely world. We’re joined by Michaiah Dominguez-Brown, LMHC to help unpack this and help us open our hearts this summer. Licensed Mental Health Counselor, relationship specialist, author, and public speaker dedicated to helping people build healthier, more meaningful connections. In this episode, we talk all things hiding vs. being seen, the vulnerability of being open to connection even with the risks of rejection and disappointment, and how we can rethink what being seen looks like in order to make more room for the connection we desire and deserve.

    You Deserve to Feel…Whole: Healing the Father Wound

    to the black girl who is living and healing from a father wound, I see you. If you’ve ever felt hurt, let down, or even harmed by any person who served in a fathering/paternal role to you, your pain is valid. So often, so many of us face these experiences, but are left to pick up the pieces alone.  Though everyone deserves grace, you also deserve to be radically honest about what you experienced, what happened, and what did not happen.  This one is for the black girl who needed to be believed, to be heard, to be understood when it came to her experiences in a painful father-daughter dynamic, but whose cries fell on closed ears. This one is for the black girl who ever shared her pain about her dad, only to be met with, “get over it” and “that’s just how men are.” This is especially for the black girl whose love for her father is at constant war with the pain you feel as a result of loving him.  I see you, and I hope this episode helps you feel safe enough to explore your pain, hold space for your compassion, and open doors to the healing you need and deserve.  Enjoyed the episode?
