S21E2: Embracing Self-Compassion: Navigating Accountability and Overcoming Mental Roadblocks Jan 12, 2024

Show notes

Lady, last week Dr. Dom and Terri set the stage for a powerful, productive, and prosperous 2024. But, they only had one hour and didn’t cover one of the most important keys of how you get there – self-compassion. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom dive deep into the nuances of one of the most impactful tools you can carry in your arsenal. Self-compassion is an opportunity to give yourself grace for the lessons you’ve learned and the wisdom to forgive yourself for doing your best with the information you had at the time. They discuss scenarios that help you identify when you’re being self-compassionate and self-pitying. One helps you move forward to a place of accountability, giving you the power to make informed decisions about the changes you want to make in your life. The other can, if left unchecked, keep you in a loop or leave you stuck. Curl up with your favorite mug of tea (psst! Check the Cultivating H.E.R. Space shop for an amazing latte mug and pillow for lounging), turn us on, and get ready for a heap of soul nourishment as you journey towards healing!

S20E11: Beyond the Paycheck: Unpacking the Dynamics Between Successful Women and Their Partners Who Earn Less Dec 15, 2023

Show notes

Hey lady! This week Terri and Dr. Dom tackle the sometimes-tricky subject of partnering while out earning their significant other. Typically, in heteronormative relationships, there are assigned gender roles by which each cis-gendered sex operates and sometimes defines their worth. But, what if those roles reverse? What if suddenly the woman is now the breadwinner, how does such a dynamic impact the health and success of a romantic relationship? Dr. Dom and Terri offer various perspectives to help offer insight on ways to navigate when you’re the high-earning individual in your relationship.
Lady, we know that you work hard and you deserve to enjoy the spoils of your efforts. To do so with some style and grace, the dynamic duo chop it up about all of the ways that not only help you navigate dating while also keeping your financial wholeness intact. Regardless of how you move, please remember the best advice is always to mind your business and do YOU!
We know this is a juicy topic and we want to hear from you! Head over to our Patreon where you can find like-minded women so you can get the real girl chat. We meet in our private Slack channel to dish our thoughts and members receive other perks as well. Don’t miss out!

S20E10: Shifting Ties: Navigating the Dynamic Landscape of the Relationships With Our Elders Dec 08, 2023

Show notes

Hey lady! The holiday season is upon us and as you know this season can bring a wide range of emotions. Some of us are excitedly preparing to gather with our loved ones for times of good cheer. Some of us are grappling with the realities and nuances that grief brings when the people we love are no longer here. Some of us are lonely and this season is a glaring reminder of the community – or lack thereof – that we’ve cultivated. All of these experiences bring lessons that we can use and apply to our lives.
This week, Terri and Dr. Dom talk about what the holiday season means to them as they’ve aged. They share personal stories about growing up and what lessons they gleaned from the elders in their lives and offer perspectives about how those lessons have been successfully applied to their personal journeys.
Lady, whatever this holiday season brings we wish you peace and comfort. Head over to Instagram and let us know some of the best pieces of wisdom or advice you’ve received from the elders in your life!

S20E9: Invisible Alarms: Subtle Red Flags That Speak Volumes Dec 01, 2023

Show notes

Hey lady! During this season of renewal, you may be taking a look at all of the people and things that are in your life. Do they fill you with joy or do they bring a sense of dread? These are a couple of the questions you can ask yourself as you take stock of your life and reflect on what the year has brought. One important area to assess is your relationship. Does it leave you feeling inspired and renewed or do you walk away feeling depleted?
This week Terri and Dr. Dom discuss all of the silent warnings that our intuition gives us when something isn’t quite right. Very often it’s easy to ignore those subtle red flags but those are usually good indicators of where we can establish stronger boundaries, work on compromises, or simply walk away from a situation that may not be in our best interest. Tune into the Aftershow for more tips on how to navigate the scenarios we find ourselves in with love and dating.
Quote of the Day: “All too often women believe it is a sign of commitment, an expression of love, to endure unkindness or cruelty, to forgive and forget. In actuality, when we love rightly, we know that the healthy, loving response to cruelty and abuse is putting ourselves out of harm's way.”

S20E8: The Truth About Caretaking with Pamela Wilson Nov 24, 2023

Show notes

Lady! It’s the holiday season and it seems that the world is beginning to slow down and begin the restoration and hibernation process. But if you’re a caregiver you know that your job never really stops. In fact, caregiving is often an around-the-clock job that can be overwhelming – especially if it is a sudden change and you have little to no support. Dr. Dom and Terri understand and empathize with how taxing the role can be even when it comes with some of life’s sweetest rewards, which is why they invited Pamela D. Wilson, caregiving expert and author of The Caregiver Trap: Solutions for Life’s Unexpected Changes and host of The Caring Generation Podcast, to discuss tips and solutions for a wide range of caregiver topics.
Pamela covers how to navigate a new world that can often be frustrating and expensive and offers a host of resources to help you begin your journey into caretaking. And, if you’re already well down the road or one of the sandwich generation (who are taking care of both parents and children), but feel resentment building and maybe even experiencing burnout, she has some tips and perspective to help ease some of that tension. If you’re not in this position, this episode is still for you as you’ll gain insight to create a plan for yourself in the event you need help. We’re in this together, so tune in and feel a little less alone while mapping out a game plan for your future!

S20E7: I'm OUT: Strategies for Quitting Your Job Nov 17, 2023

Show notes

Hey lady! It’s the end of the year and it’s a great time to reflect and restore as we head into hibernation season. How are you feeling about this year? Are there changes that need to be made? This week, Terri and Dr. Dom discuss what it looks like when it’s time to change your job. Dr. Dom and Terri share some of their personal experiences that brought big revelations about how to navigate their careers this week and some of those instances may resonate with you. Are you ready to make the leap? Tune into the Aftershow for tips on how to do so with grace, class, and most of all self-respect.
Questions to ask yourself to identify if it's time to quit:

Are you burned out?
Does this job no longer bring you joy?
Has your health been negatively affected?
Are you compromising your ethics, values, or integrity?
Are you being harassed or threatened?
Do you feel psychologically, emotionally, or physically unsafe?
Have you accomplished all of your goals and there is no room for growth or promotion?

Strategies for quitting:

Consult your mentor(s)
Identify a timeline (do you need to walk away now or can you give a reasonable notice; when do you notify your immediate boss, colleagues, etc.)
Get your financial house in order (checking, savings, retirement, insurance, PTO/sick/vacation)
Identify your next steps (how much time off, securing another job, launching a business)
Submit an official resignation letter (you want things in writing)
Provide feedback and/or an exit interview

Quote of the Day:
“When Black women are able to 'quit a thing' it typically can be attributed to at least four causes. She was invited to do a job that it is impossible for her to be successful at, she is disrespected, her work is devalued (a form of disrespect), or she is simply tired of fighting."
– Dr. Wendi S. Williams
