Customer Reviews
Episode 91
Hi everyone! I am listening to episode 91 & I think that White people experience White women tears & they can be detrimental but they are often more problematic for Black women. They just classify these tears as being emotional. I hate White women tears. I am a sensitive person but I can’t afford to cry when I am actually hurt or upset but these White women cry with impunity.
ACES
I have listened to the ACES episode several times-and many others! I have been struggling to help and understand my niece who lives with me. This episode has answered questions and gave me understanding to things I’ve discussed with her pediatrician for years! From the first two months (she was exposed tremendous amounts of trauma) to the physical effects (we have had every allergy test available) to her constant dilated pupils.. Sometimes if feels like they think I’m making things up! I’m glad to know these things are real issues. I can’t wait for our next therapy session so I can bring this up- I look forward to more podcasts that will also help me help myself so that I am able to better help and understand her!
Laugh & Learn
I appreciate how you all process the topics into bite sized pieces then give action steps to follow. You all don’t shy away from the hard topics that need to be talked about. And getting to laugh along is such a treat. Bravo and thank you!
