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

Hey lady! This week Dr. Dom and Terri welcome Dr. Tai, founder of the Black Girl Doctor – a platform dedicated to helping Black women avoid burnout while prospering, to talk all of the overachieving divas who feel the weight of the world on their shoulders and help them find ways to lighten their load.
Very often Black women activate their ambition and are then swiftly punished from a variety of angles. Dr. Tai offers a salve for the Black woman who dares to both dream and make her dreams come true. She offers compassion for the women who have been knocked around by life while trying to self-actualize and her platform then offers the space and tools for women to heal while strengthening their resilience and re-engaging with their dreams.
Lady, if you’re low on motivation, trust us, you’re not alone. We’re here to help! Whether it’s through our weekly episodes, the resources listed below, our Patreon – intentionally curated with you in mind, we’ve got the tools to keep you centered and moving forward on your path. You can also schedule a consultation with Dr. Dom to help you emotionally weather the storms that come with ambition or a coaching session with Terri to help elevate your business with grace and style.

Quote of the Day:
Being "successful" does not shield you from emotional pain — and sometimes it complicates it."
– Dr. Tai

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

Hey lady! In this throwback episode we're revisiting our conversation with attorney, career advisor, and storyteller, Ashley Menzies Babatunde.

We discuss the gems the valley seasons reveal, and the pivots that come out of it to find and strengthen your most authentic self. Ashley shares her inspirational story of advocating for herself after a major life event showed her the beauty in her present, albeit difficult, circumstance so that she could create a life rich with meaning. Her decision to embrace where her life took her next with curiosity and wonder opened possibilities that were better than she could have imagined. If you've been feeling stuck, or your path has not been what you quite planned, this episode is for you. Join Dr. Dom and Terri for a motivating conversation about finding the blessings and beauty in your life stage.
