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

Hey lady, it’s Friday! You made it. We have a question for you though...are you coasting into the weekend or are you running headfirst to your bed? This week, Terri and Dr. Dom welcome Kelley Bonner, host of the Black Girl Burnout podcast, to discuss a topic we’re sure will resonate with many of you. Kelley drops in and defines burnout and offers tangible tools for you to incorporate into your day to reduce and minimize any burnout you may be experiencing. Good news! This isn’t the typical reduce your stressors spiel you’ve heard. This convo has tips on how you can proactively approach your boss with professional candor, and how the bosses in the room can make space for more empathy while still maintaining the focus on the company’s objectives. If you see the wall in your direct view and you’re afraid you’re about to crash into it, fret not! A few tweaks to your day can have you breathing in joy and self-fulfillment, and you won’t need a month in Bali to do it. We’d love to hear from you! Head to Instagram and let us know your favorite way to avoid burnout!
Quote of the Day:
“But what happens when you work hard at something unfulfilling? It drains your spirit. It robs you of your life force. You end up depleted, depressed, and angry.”
– Oprah Winfrey

S19E3: Solutions for Supporting Young Scholars with Dr. Antar Tichavakunda

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. Research has shown that early intervention and creating networks for support are critical in the first two years of post-secondary education. But, those interventions and support networks don’t just start and stop with the educators. 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? Tune in today for some great conversation and great insight from Dr. Tichavakunda.
Quote of the Day: “When you do the common things in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.”

Hey lady! This week Terri and Dr. Dom have one question for you: what about your friends? We know TLC asked you years ago but really ask yourself...when it comes to your close personal friendships, how are you doing? Dr. Dom and Terri have a heart-to-heart about what it means to be a good friend and the different scenarios that can pop up to test the foundation of your friendships. Tune in and find out where you stand on the “good friend” spectrum and how you can reconcile when you and your beloved sister-friend might need to go on your respective paths without each other. Are you looking to strengthen your existing community or find tips on how to approach friendship with new friends? If so, this episode is definitely for you. And, tune in to the Aftershow where Terri and Dr. Dom spill a little more about when they know a friend is for keeps and when it’s time to cut their losses.

"Count on me through thick and thin
A friendship that will never end
When you are weak I will be strong
Helping you to carry on."
– Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans
