Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman

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.

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!Quote of the Day:“Youth can walk faster, but the elder knows the road.” – African ProverbControl Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off of your Starter Pack (that’s over 40% off) with promo code HERSPACE at LumeDeodorant.com! #lumepodFor listeners of the show, Dipsea is offering an extended 30-day free trial when you go to dipseastories.com/herspace.Register here for the Vibrate Higher Empowerment Workshop!

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.”– bell hooksHead to factormeals.com/herspace50 and use code herspace50 to get 50% off.

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!Quote of the Day:"Being a caregiver is hard."– Pamela WilsonWhere to find Pamela D.

Hey lady, this week Dr. Antar Tichavakunda, Assistant Professor of Education at the University of California Santa Barbara and author of Black Campus Life: The Worlds Black Students Make at Historically White Institution, joins Terri and Dr. Dom and discusses the shifts that we all can make when preparing the younger generations for their next steps in life.

Every person in a young scholar’s life plays a part in keeping the student engaged all the way through graduation. Are you curious about the ways you can support a young scholar – without going into your wallet – so they feel uplifted during their journey?

Hey lady! Have you ever been in a relationship and something is off but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is? It’s probably your inner compass telling you to pay attention or something more definitive – like it’s time to end the relationship. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom offer a strong perspective on the common ways we are lulled into unfulfilling relationships and ideas on when it’s probably a good time to cut your losses and go your separate ways. Leaving relationships can be hard when sometimes there isn’t anything wrong, but sometimes the signs are right there in our faces, and we have to muster the courage and self-respect to do what needs to be done. If this sounds like the season you are in currently in life, then tap in for some encouragement and tune in to the Aftershow for even more support on how to let an unfulfilling relationship go. We want to hear from you, head to Instagram and let us know what are some of your signs it’s time to dead a relationship.

Hey lady! When you look at your life does it reflect where you thought you’d be twenty years ago, or is it completely different than how you imagined? If it’s radically different than what you imagined don’t fret. In fact, rejoice because that can be a sign that you’ve been following your unique path. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom sit down and reflect on their lives and process the ups and downs of their respective paths. In some areas, they still have goals they are aspiring to reach and in other aspects, the lives they’re currently leading are far better than what they imagined at 17. Does that resonate with you? Let this episode be an inspiration to keep moving forward in the direction of your dreams. And, also let it be a moment to stop and take stock of the beautiful life you’ve built. If there are things you want to change you have time to make it happen, and if there are things you want to amplify, there is time to make those happen too. So, take a deep breath and tap in!

Yvette brings her warm personality and positive energy to discuss an initiative that is dear to her heart – It’s Bigger Than Me.

If you struggle with your weight or love someone who does then tune in so you can add ways to be kinder to yourself into your toolkit.

Hey lady, no matter where you are in life or what age you’re currently enjoying, we all know there aren’t any rules to life, but there are social graces that help us journey together. Especially, if you’re a woman or femme. Girl code can seem superficial but is real and actually a useful way to be in relationship with other women. Whether they are your friends or just other women out here living in the world, there are things that we as women do and just don’t do. While some things change, some things stay the same, and being a genuine person is always going to be in style.This episode is interactive! Check us out on Instagram and let us know what your girl code absolutes are and what are some of your girl code dealbreakers.

Hey lady, you smell that? Is it you? Probably, lol. That’s ok! Body odor, farts, grown lady smells, tripping, falling, and so much more are all a part of what makes being human a full-body experience. This week Terri and Dr. Dom tell their business so you can feel better about yours. You are definitely going to want to listen to this one with headphones on. They get real about how to handle when your wig starts slipping while you’re getting your back blown out, and how queefing is kinda cool now that we’re grown. Why are they doing this? Because laughter is one of the best sources of medicine and if you can’t laugh at yourself (or your sharts) then maybe you’re taking this life thing just a little too seriously. You don’t need a journal for this episode, but we hope you remember that if you poot in the elevator make sure it’s just you in there.
