There are different types of friendships. They all require different levels of engagement. If you aren't clear about what type of friendship you're in, you could be in for a BIG surprise when things don't go the way you thought they would. Join me as I discuss different types of friendships, how we can take stock of what we have going on in friendships, and make some important decisions about how to proceed.

Ever realize that your friend is going through something that needs more than a hug and a listening ear? If your friend is experiencing depression, suicide ideation, manic episodes, severe financial trouble, or a physical illness that doesn't seem like she is regular degular kind of sick, these are all moments where it is probably above your pay grade... even if you are a  professional in that area. During this episode, Dionne Caldwell, LCSW-C, and I are discussing what we can do when our friend is experiencing something that may require a professional's help. Join us and join the conversation on IG or FB.

Coming out of a global pandemic, it must be nice to get together with all your people, but what if you don't have people? The isolation continues for many, so today we are talking about why we need a tribe, what challenges we face in finding a person or group with which we experience belonging, what myths we might believe about building those types of relationships, and some suggestions we can try to start building today.

Have you ever been told that you are too independent or that you are too needy or clingy? Have you experienced hurt in a relationship? When we are hurt in relationships, we tend to lean to either end of a relational spectrum: independence or codependence. I’m the first to ask, is there another option, cuz this ain’t working! There is another really great, balanced option in between. We call it interdependence. Join me to find out what black girls can do to mitigate some of the impacts of socialization and relational hurt we’ve incurred over the years that forces us to these extreme ways in which we relate to others.
