Hey lady! This week Dr. Dom and Terri pick up where they left off discussing why protecting your reputation is high priority as we navigate the new terrain of a saturated misinformation market where a sharp discernment will be key to keeping you from getting got. Your name carries weight wherever you go. What does your name say when you aren’t in the room? Terri and Dr. Dom dive even deeper into why developing good character, high integrity, and a moral compass go a long way to earning a strong reputation. Life is made for living and who you were then does not have to be who you are now. While reputations change you character stands the test of time. Part One focused on how to interrogate yourself but we are hardwired to be in community with others. This week Dr. Dom and Terri highlight ways to identify green flags in others so that your ability to vet becomes stronger in your interpersonal relationships. Lady, you’ve heard us say it and we’ll continue to say it – we’re all we got. So, we need to start acting like it and nurture the relationships that help us show up as our authentic selves. If you’re ready to drop the masks and be the truest you, tap in babe! We’re over here growing!   Quote of the Day: “Because the reality is, people are human. People make mistakes. But we also have to learn how to protect ourselves, trust ourselves, and move with wisdom.” – Unknown   This episode is brought to you by VB Health, supplements that work.

Rejection. Insecurity. Perfectionism. These are some of the reasons why we may be taking things personally. At different stages and seasons in life, we have all found ourselves in a space where we are asking, “What did I do? Why am I the target here?” Most of the time, it is not about you. However, your reaction is an indicator of something going on within you. In today’s episode, Terri and Dr. Dom help us explore why we take things personally and offer strategies to heal.   Resources:Dr. Dom’s Therapy PracticeBranding with TerriMelanin and Mental HealthTherapy for Black Girls Psychology TodayTherapy for QPOCTherapy for Black MenWhere to find us:Twitter: @HERspacepodcastInstagram: @herspacepodcastFacebook: @herspacepodcastWebsite: cultivatingherspace.com Check out the Best Of CHS!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey lady! This week Dr. Dom and Terri dive into an important, but sometimes touchy topic. What you think about yourself and what others think about you are two different concepts that radically impact your life. Self-esteem and self-regard are what keep your self-concept in check but your reputation is built on variable factors – few of which are in your control. The good news is there are strategies to help you improve your reputation and all of them are in your control. Terri and Dr. Dom offer perspective on why building strong character matters more than creating an image built on controlling people’s perception of you. Don’t get it twisted, your image matters and so does the narrative around you but the incredible thing about living is that at any moment you can own your narrative and write a new story based on what is true to you and your life experience. Lady, this episode is jam packed with richness to help you gain clarity about how to present the best, most real version of yourself. You deserve to live in a world where you are respected and valued, but that first starts with you!   Quote of the Day: “Deal with yourself as an individual worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way.” – Nikki Giovanni   Know what you’re looking for?

Hey lady! Can you tell the difference between an old heaux and a young heaux? If you can no longer drop down and get your eagle on, but it’s cool because you don’t even know that means anyway then this episode is for you. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom have fun bridging the gap between the generational divide that exists because sistas across the land are realizing we have a lot to learn from each other. No matter what generation you are a part of, we can all agree that life is remarkably different than what we were used to; and what has become clear in these turbulent times is that we’re going to need each other to get through them. Our individual life lessons weave into a colorful tapestry of collective wisdom when we decide to listen to one another. With that perspective in mind, Dr. Dom and Terri make a playful delineation between old heaux and young heaux behavior. Pour your favorite beverage of choice and tap in to what makes each lived experience amazing and different and worth celebrating. Young heauxs have enviable opportunities  and freedoms that our ancestors dreamed, and old heauxs have the benefit and beauty of a life before social media allowing space for creativity, culture, and common sense. Together, we can light a path for the generations younger than us to build the world they deserve.

Hey eldest sisters! This week, this one is for you. This week’s episode is a love song to the eldest daughters and granddaughters, the backbone of society, whose stories are often overlooked and ignored because their silent labor is the underpinning that keeps modern family life moving forward and families together. Dr. Dom and Terri share their experiences of being the eldest daughter and oldest sister in their immediate family and how it has shaped their worldviews and ways of being – for better or for worse.   While these experiences are not a monolith, there is enough evidence that this is a growing segment of the population that are expected to care for everyone around them at the expense of their own career growth and health. So what can you do if you find yourself in a position where there is an implicit expectation that you will be the strong one? Tune in if you are fed up with that role so that you can build a solid toolkit to shift yourself back into the driver’s seat of your life. Lady, this particular journey takes time so pack your patience and carve out intentional time so you can make a realistic plan that works for you. Head over to the Cultivating H.E.R. Space shop to pick up a journal as your companion to unpack this deep work you’re doing and while you’re at it grab a latte mug to sip on something that will calm your nervous system (you’ll find out why this is important in the episode). Wishing you lots of a love and lighter load on your plate, lady!   Quote of the Day: "The eldest daughter is the prototypical parentified child. Who’s tucking her in? Who’s feeding her? Who’s nurturing her? Who’s taking care of her?” – Dr. Mariel Buqué   This episode is brought to you by VB Health, supplements that work and Feeld, a dating app for the curious.

Hey lady! You might have noticed a theme this year. As we navigate our way through this oppressive regime we are making sure that taking time to check in with ourselves is high on our priority list. That’s why this week, Dr. Dom and Terri have a gentle conversation about why it’s important to assess your mental health from time to time. Sometimes in the day-to-day of life it’s easy to overlook signs of depression, struggle, overwhelm, and self-neglect. However, as the pressure to perform during this perilous time increases knowing where you stand will be important to your self-preservation. Black people have a fight ahead of us as we work to claw back our rights. Taking good care of your mental and emotional health will make sure that not only are you fit for the fight but also that you have a good quality of life full of meaning, joy, and pleasure. So, tap into this episode and let it be a guide to improving your mental health and building a toolkit of care and support to keep you whole and healthy. If you need extra support, be sure to book a consultation with Dr. Dom. She can provide a container of support and meet you where you are as you strengthen your ability to care for yourself.   Quote of the Day: “Functioning is not the same as being well.” – Unknown   Goal Mapping Starter Guide Cultivating H.E.R.

Hey lady! You might have noticed that building and maintaining community is a big theme for many of us right now. Many of us are moving past the superficial energy of posting your highlight reel for empty calorie validation from strangers and seeking real nourishment for the soul.

Hey lady! There comes a time when, hopefully, you wake up and say to yourself, I just don’t feel that way anymore. It can be at once both liberating and confusing. How can a belief or feeling you once held so deeply now seem like an ill-fitting sweater? Just like that sweater, now snug, uncomfortable, and no longer a match for who you are today, long-held beliefs can be difficult to shake but once you make the commitment to your growth, you’ll gain a new level of self-respect. One that you can carry as your superpower – the power to change your mind, especially when new information is presented. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom, explore the ways they’ve examined their beliefs and challenged them. Some they kept but many they discarded without fanfare, just a simple, I’ve changed my mind. A woman has the right to change her mind, doesn’t she? What beliefs do you still hold that are no longer serving you? Where could you use more compassion and less judgment in your life? And, where do you find yourself noticing that a particular belief is actually a projection? Lady, there’s nothing wrong with keeping it real with yourself. In fact, it’s highly encouraged as you build a real and authentic life. Speaking of keeping it real, head over to the enhanced Patreon community where Dr. Dom and Terri keep it all the way real about the behind the scenes of the making of the podcast. This community of like-hearted women gather and connect while letting their hair down. Ask Dr. Dom and Terri anything there…including Dr. Dom about her red beans and rice recipe.

Today is a throwback episode with Dr. Myla Bennett who gives us the reality of working with women of color in plastic surgery. Dr. Myla Bennett is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Georgia. She is not your typical plastic surgeon. Dr. Myla is “pro doing things to make you feel good but anti ignoring what is going on inside that is affecting what you want to do on the outside.” Your mental health is an important factor in your decision to have plastic surgery. Dr. Myla shares with us the “dark and dangerous” side of plastic surgery, the surgeries people regret and the impact it has on the individual and their romantic relationships. What are the red flags you need to avoid in a plastic surgeon? What do you need to consider in your life before having surgery? Listen in to Dr. Myla’s answers to those questions and more.    Quote of the Day: "Anytime an opportunity comes along and it violates unleashing a woman's inner and outer beauty, I'm not going to do it." - Dr. Myla Bennett   Takeaways: Self-Esteem: A Proven Program of Cognitive Techniques for Assessing, Improving, and Maintaining Your Self-Esteem https://amzn.to/31iRLV2 A Book of Daily Positive Affirmations https://amzn.to/32l11bS    Relevant episodes S2E3: Why You Might Be Struggling to Gain Confidence S1E8: How to Find Your Own Self-Care Routine   Resources: Melanin and Mental Health Therapy for Black Girls  Psychology Today Therapy for QPOC   Where to find us: Twitter: @HERspacepodcast Instagram: @herspacepodcast Facebook: @herspacepodcast Website: herspacepodcast.com Email: herspacepodcast@gmail.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
