Whew. Dating today is not for the weak. Between the apps, shifting gender roles, and the “soft life” era, modern relationships look very different from what many of us grew up seeing. In this episode, we sit down to unpack how dating has evolved—what’s working, what’s not, and what we’re learning along the way. We get into everything from emotional availability and setting expectations to financial dynamics, marriage, and whether people are even still dating to marry.

It’s honest, funny, and a little therapeutic—because let’s be real, half of us are just trying to unlearn old patterns while navigating new ones. Grab your tea, because we’re talking all things love, lessons, and the messy middle in between.

Thanks for listening!

Why is everyone so obsessed with controlling women’s bodies? From lawmakers to cultural double standards, the fight for autonomy is real—and exhausting. We’re talking reproductive rights, consent, sexuality, and the constant push to own our narratives in a world that would rather silence us. It’s giving rage, resilience, and a little bit of... “nah, we’re not doing this anymore.”

We’re kicking off Season 2 with the ultimate question:

Can adults separate love from sex?

In this episode, we unpack what intimacy really means, how consent shapes healthy relationships, and why kinks and fetishes get labeled as “disorders” in the DSM-5. It’s raw, it’s real, and yes — it gets spicy.

In this episode of Thera-Tea, we dive deep into the impact of generational trauma within Black families. We explore how unhealed wounds—passed down through generations—show up in our mental health, relationships, and sense of self. From patterns of silence and survival mode to struggles with vulnerability and emotional regulation, we unpack the ways trauma continues to affect us today.

But it doesn’t stop there—healing is possible. We discuss what it means to break generational curses, redefine family dynamics, and create healthier narratives for future generations. Through self-awareness, therapy, and intentional change, we can shift from cycles of pain to cycles of healing. Join us for this powerful conversation on reclaiming our stories and building a legacy of emotional wellness.
