Therapy for Black Girls

I had the pleasure of listening to “Therapy for Black Women” for the first time and what I will say is I absolutely loved it! I decided to start at the very beginning of the podcast to gain a better understanding of the topics discussed. The topics in the first three episodes I’ve listened to so far definitely targets mental health and self-development for African American Women. Dr. Joy Harden Bradford who is the creator of “Therapy for Black Women “provided so many so many great resources to help maintain a good mental health such as, how to locate a therapist, how to determine what characteristics you want in a therapist, financial options to help afford a therapist, especially if you are on a budget. Dr. Bradford also posted links and provided resources for discounted therapy services. After the podcast she also offers Q&A sessions where you can email her questions pertaining to mental health and she will respond. Dr. Bradford has also created a safe space for this podcast allowing anonymous women to ask questions and share experiences to get advice on what they should do in certain situations to protect their mental health. This made the vibe of the podcast feel warmer and more welcoming. I can honestly say I have found a new podcast to listen to and I will look forward to listening to this podcast every morning moving forward before work.

I enjoy this podcast, but the gen z conversations are such a turn off. The homecoming episode was completely annoying to listen to because they complained about it being for alum (which it is), and kept bringing up their needs for funding. It was a total miss to celebrate the joy that homecoming brings.

Tbh I used to really like TBG. But that episode about gen z and voting was super weird and disappointing. To say you don’t know if you’re going to vote or not is ridiculous considering your platform. I’m a gen z and don’t feel this way at all. It’s actually common sense who to vote for. The black woman. And you want to waste 48 minutes talking about it.. lost a supporter.

I’ve listened to almost everyone even those that don’t pertain to my life, and I learn a lot about topics and it has given more perspective and grace for others life and their decisions.
