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. Inside joke for our Patreon subscribers. See you there!

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

Hey lady! We all have guilty pleasures. Some love wine, some love weed, but here at Cultivating H.E.R. Space Podcast, we love true crime which is why we’re thrilled to welcome Kayla, host of Black True Crime Podcast, to discuss the power of cults, how to stay safe in this wild world we’re living in and why choosing joy is always your best weapon to combat the seriousness of our times.

Kayla shares her journey from growing up in a cult to freeing herself from challenging relationships so that she could take those experiences and chart a path of expansion for herself. While true crime is a passion of Kayla the podcast has grown into a mission to help women advocate for themselves and strengthen their inner wisdom.

Tap in!

Sis! With conversations of how we show up for our sisters running the news cycle, we thought we would share a nice throwback this week. Dr. Dom and Terri are thrilled to welcome Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, the force and founder of Therapy for Black Girls and author of Sisterhood Heals to discuss unique dynamics in Black sisterhood. Dr. Dom, Terri, and Dr. Joy share the importance of finding your tribe, cultivating real relationships, and address the prickly parts of growing and growing apart in friendships.
Dr. Joy is a leading voice on mental health and emotional wellness, and she’s poured a lot of her wisdom into her new book, while also learning a lot about herself in the process. Lady, if you’re ready to transform your relationships so that they are deeper and more meaningful then this is the episode for you! Dr. Joy offers perspective on what building new friendships really entails (hint: rejection is a possibility) and why understanding your needs can help you call in your people.

We want to hear from you! Tap in on Instagram and let us know how sisterhood has helped you along your journey.

Quote of the Day:
"That thing Black women feel when we gather is a kind of glue, a stabilizing force we actively created out of the pain and trauma of our lived experiences in order to hold us up and together."
