    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?

    the vulnerability of friendships w/ Joi Britt, LCSW

    are you hiding in your friendships? we don’t always focus on our friendships, but they are just as much a site of healing and intimacy as any other relationship, sometimes more.  Yet, we often find ourselves showing up in friendships, in the same protective ways we do in other relationships: hiding our true selves, silencing our voice, shrinking, and ultimately resisting the very practices that help us feel seen. In this episode, licensed therapist and friendship-focused therapist Joi Britt, LCSW joins me to talk about the vulnerability of friendships. Joi Britt, LCSW is the owner of Life Intentionally Psychotherapy Services where she mostly works with women of color to help them live on purpose and with purpose. In addition to individual therapy Joi provides Friendship Coaching based on her French Fry Friendship Theory®.
