When your friendships change and your bestie has less time to connect than you're used to-- the connections we once found safety in can get complicated. When life's beautiful progressions happen, or one person moves into a season of marriage, motherhood or a career change before the other, it's important we know how to communicate within relationships we hope to keep.

In part two of our conversation with #TherapyforBlackGirls founder, Dr. Joy Harden- Bradford, Gia dives deep in to how to navigate hard times and jealousy in friendships, how to handle major life changes with the people you love, and why sisterhood is still vital to having a healthy life. Get your journals out and open your hearts-- this **finale episode** of "Healed Girl Era" is about to be good!

“Healed Girl Era Podcast” exists to offer long-form conversations to aid in healing through the eras and chapters of our lives. But, the mental health conversation would not be as advanced as it is without the work of therapists and thought leaders in our community who stressed the importance of therapy, wellness and healing. No one has done more for Black women who needed help finding a therapist on the internet than this guest.  

In part one of our season one finale, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford joins Gia to delve in to the world of managing successful therapy/client relationships, her personal story, grieving the state of the world and how Therapy for Black Girls charged a new generation to take their mental health seriously.  

Stay tuned for part 2. Thank you to Dr. Joy and all the therapists and healers who consistently teach us how to have a better relationships with ourselves and our people.

Rapsody is a multi-Grammy award winning rapper and songwriter whose excellence has set the standard what a good lyricist is for the last decade. But, in her new album "Please Don't Cry," she's making it less about the acrobatic bars and more about the vulnerability it took for her to become this new, more healed version of herself. Through deep talks with friends, listening to music from her heroes like Lauryn Hill, meditation and more, she is sharing her heart and her talent in a whole new way. And in this conversation, she and Gia take the journey from little Marlanna Evans in North Carolina, to the superstar rapper that is the Rapsody we know and love today. Listen as she shares lessons, defining moments, and the mindset she developed to put industry standards down to pick up the parts of herself she put away to fit in.

And how love helped her do it.

As always, this is going to be GOOD. Get your journals out.

Rapsody's new album, "Please Don't Cry" is available everywhere for streaming and purchase on May 17th. Find out more about the album, merch, and upcoming events near you at https://rapsody.komi.io/.

There are few things more powerful than the narratives we believe about who we are. When powerhouse pastor, Woman Evolve Founder, and NYT Best Selling Author, Sarah Jakes Roberts experienced trauma in the early stages of her life, the story she began to believe about who she was led her to a period of guilt, sadness and shame. But, she slowly started to listen to the inner voice that asked her to stop defining herself by a moment and to start seeing herself how God saw her. That choice not only changed her world, it would also change the world for millions of people who would experience God through her viral sermons and impactful presence.

How will changing the narrative you believe about your story, change how you show up in the world?

Listen as Sarah sits down with Gia for an intimate one-on-one conversation as she readies the release of her new book, “Power Moves.” Find out how she moves in the major calling on her life, and how a shy teen mom gathered all the pieces of herself to become a powerhouse faith leader.

Get your journals out, this is going to be good.

Sarah’s new book, “Power Moves,” releases on April 30th wherever books are sold. Learn more information about the Woman Evolve conference on WomanEvolve.com.
