It’s okay if you need to ask for help."  – Stephanie Lahart   Goal Map Like a Pro Workbook Cultivating H.E.R.

    Hey lady! We don’t know about you but right now we are deep in a season of designing our lives with care and intention, which is why it’s only right that we welcome Dominique B. Fluker, nationally recognized multimedia journalist, lifestyle expert and editor, content marketer, moderator, and interior design storyteller based in Los Angeles. She stops by Cultivating H.E.R. Space to offer gems on how to create a style authentic to you and based on the beautiful life story you have to share. Dominique built a career centered around powerful storytelling.

    S27E9: Putting the Cape Down with Dr. Raquel Martin

    Hey lady! As many of you know a healing journey is more than face masks and bubble baths. It’s a deeply personal cultivation of all of your life’s experiences and the tools you’ve picked up along the way. It’s the way you find yourself to wholeness and build a life of meaning and fulfillment and it is hard and cyclical and takes effort. It takes real courage to get into the insides of yourself and choose to grow, but it’s possible and it’s worth it. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri invite Dr. Raquel Martin, a licensed clinical psychologist and host of the Mind Your Mental podcast, to discuss the rigorous path to living a healed life and the enrichment and reward of finding a path that works for you. Mental health and therapy are buzzy right now but those words are more than a passing fad. Dr. Raquel offers a unique perspective via straight talk to illuminate how people can find a path to mental wellness that feels authentic for them. Sometimes that may be boundaries, sometimes that means finding a mental health professional to work with, but all of the time it requires divorcing our thoughts from the patriarchal and colonial constructs that we use to build our realities. Babygirl, that is neither easy nor is it quick work but it is necessary for lasting change. Wise words were once spoken that it all starts with looking ourselves in the mirror. When we begin to do the tough work of having honest conversations with ourselves, being real about our needs and untangling the deep wounding we have as a people we can begin to see more light in our lives so that we can be the light out in this world.  Dr. Raquel may not be accepting clients but if you are ready to amplify your healing with support book a consultation with Dr. Dom or check our resources below for the right option for you! We love you for real, lady. Keep thriving! Quote of the Day: "You deserve rest that actually restores you, not just pauses you."  – Dr. Raquel Martin   Goal Map Like a Pro Workbook Cultivating H.E.R.

    S27E8: The Feedback Loop: Parents, Kids, and Hard Truths

    Hey lady! This week, Terri and Dr. Dom tackle a potentially touchy topic – feedback, and the equally touchy topic of how to give it and how to receive it. After listening to this episode, you will be armed with tools for your personal toolkit so that you walk through life with grace, class and style. As each day turns the necessity of having a strong community to lean on becomes ever more present. Community isn’t a fantasy of make-believe relationships, it’s network of relationships built over time through authenticity, communication, skills, and trust. Without those elements living with other humans and their thoughts and behaviors can become difficult. There are strategies you can use when presented with an opportunity to grow via feedback and with practice you can become a person that maintains your sovereignty while being a strong communicator. So, how do you develop and strengthen the muscle of giving and receiving feedback? How does one cultivate a healthy relationship with offering perspective in a way that is constructive and supportive?  Dr. Dom and Terri offer a selection of common scenarios with actionable steps in how to engage with the other person skillfully. Knowing how to process feedback and how to implement or disagree is a key step in growing yourself in authenticity and in community.  Interested in customizing your toolkit in a way that feels real to you? Head to the Cultivating H.E.R. Space shop and grab a journal and think through your action plan. We’d love to hear from you about how you’re going to make receiving feedback a strength of yours. Holla at us in our Patreon and let us know how you handle difficult conversations and constructive criticism.  Quote of the Day: "Feedback is a gift — and it’s okay to unwrap it slowly."  – Unknown   Goal Map Like a Pro Workbook Cultivating H.E.R.

With repeated, consistent actions it is possible to form the habits that design the life of your dreams.

Do you need to automate some of your processes? Have you established a system for yourself? Where is your support and who can you call on when you need some upliftment in your journey? Let this week be a guide to different methods that can help you think through an action plan that will keep your cup full (overfloweth even) because you found what works for your life and your nervous system. Ladies, we know with all of our busy lives and this fast-paced world it takes a bit more thought and intention to get the life you’ve been dreaming of, but hold on tight to your vision and let this episode inspire you to build the discipline to make it happen!  Quote of the Day: "Consistency isn't about perfection...it's about making small, regular efforts over time." – Unknown   Goal Map Like a Pro Workbook Cultivating H.E.R.
