Key Tools to Overcome Toxic Shame Replay - EP 144 Sep 03, 2024

Show notes

A lot of us like to point the finger and say that everybody else is the problem, but we very rarely talk about when we're toxic and when we're the villain in someone else's story. So how can we better paint the whole picture, have those uncomfortable conversations, and show up in a way that does not hurt the ones we love?

Tune in as Alechia and Dani share their own less than favorable traits and how to work through villain to victim to powerhouse who shows up in the world with truly good intentions.

KEY POINTS & QUOTES:

- Nobody wants to be the villain - so where are they?

- What are your toxic traits?

- How to exercise the apology muscle

- When did we forget grace and compassion?

- The value of remembering when you were the villain

- Choosing the right thing, even when it's uncomfortable

- Who do you want to be? How do you want to show up?

QUOTABLES:

"Victims sometimes forget when they were the villain."

"Understand to every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Whether you're being a villain or not a villain, you're being a safe place or an unsafe place, it goes back to the decisions that you make about how do you want to feel? And then how do you want others to feel when you walk out of a room?"

Overcoming Church Hurt & Trauma Replay - EP 142 Aug 21, 2024

Show notes

Skirts below the knee. No jewelry, accessories, or makeup. Stockings in bed and no relaxing your hair. Does this sound familiar?

For those raised in the church like Alechi, Dani, and their guest - religious trauma healer Pamela Merritt, this conversation is for you. Tune in as Pamela discusses church hurt versus trauma, how the Black community embodies religion, and the often confusing emotions around sex and religion. And be sure to lean in for her advice for reimagining your faith and reconnecting to the divine outside the church.

KEY POINTS:

Why is church membership dramatically dropping?
Is the rise in community violence correlated with the lack of connection to spirituality?
Do we need the church to teach us accountability and structure?
The positive benefits of the church
What trauma looks like and how it's perpetuated from the pulpit
How to nourish your relationship with the divine outside of the church

QUOTABLES:

"For black church kids, we embody the music. We embody the feel of church. We embody the culture. We embody the community that Black church gives us. So when people come to me for religious trauma, consultations, and they are transitioning, what I'm helping them with is understanding that their religious space does not determine the structure that they have to their life." - Pamela Merritt

"Once you understand who you are and what your needs are and what your beliefs are, you can reimagine your connection with the divine in a different way." - Pamela Merritt

If you've been on this healing journey with us for some time, then you'll quickly recognize that this is THE episode if you're ready for the next level of your healing evolution.

Friendship Breakups Replay - EP 139 Jul 30, 2024

Show notes

We're all familiar with the grief that comes with the end of a romantic relationship. But why is it that we don't mourn the end of our friendships even in the slightest bit? If you have ever wondered about that or struggled with moving on from a friendship breakup, then this episode is a must-listen. Alechia and Dani will both be looking back at the friendship breakups that they had and sharing how they each coped with them. So if you're having friendship troubles, know that you are not alone!

Tune in and learn how to truly heal from your friendship breakups and how to maintain and deepen your relationship with your current friends.

SPONSORED BY:

7 Agents of Change Pack, visit to learn more: http://triggeredafevents.com

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

- The types of friendship breakups.

- How to have difficult conversations with your friends.

- Is it worth having a difficult conversation?

- Knowing when to break up with a friend.

- How to maintain your friendships.

- Identifying the roles you play in each relationship.

- The importance of female friendships.

- How to heal from friendship breakups.

- Why you need to honor both your past and present friendships.

QUOTABLES:

"For me, I feel like the first step in the healing process is to acknowledge what you learn from them. Because in every single experience, whether it was positive or negative, there's always something you learned."

"There's a difference between speaking your truth and talking to your experience, and bashing and dragging someone's name. And oftentimes, we've completely lost the right to even speak about this person because we have no idea who that person is anymore. Just because that's what they did and that's who they were five years ago, or two years ago, does not mean that's who they are now."
