While Andy Williams famously proclaimed this to be the most wonderful time of the year, we know that the holiday season can be more than a little stressful for many of us. Whether we’re navigating changing traditions, grieving the loss of a family member, or considering opting out of the holidays entirely, the question becomes how to communicate these feelings to our family members, friends, and others we may usually celebrate this time with.

Joining me to help sort out these holiday-induced stressors is returning guest Nedra Glover Tawaab. Nedra is a licensed therapist, sought-after relationship expert, and the author of New York Times bestsellers Set Boundaries, Find Peace and Drama Free. Nedra has appeared as an expert on Red Table Talk, The Breakfast Club, Good Morning America, and the CBS Morning Show, just to name a few. During our conversation, Nedra and I discuss ways you might share a grievance with a family member without severing the relationship, navigating holiday-induced grief, and communicating a change in tradition or a decision to stay home for the holidays.

Congratulations, you’ve been accepted into the inaugural class of Therapy for Black Girls University. Whether packing for a new year on campus, thinking through your gap year, enrolling in a community college, or grabbing your stoles for graduation, TBG U is here to help you thrive at this stage of your life and beyond.

If you’re as chronically online as I am, you may recall a viral video from 2022 of USC’s first-ever majorette dance team, the Cardinal Divas. Leading this groundbreaking team is Princess Isis Z Lang, a senior Musical Theatre major at the University of Southern California, a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., and my guest for today’s episode. 

In our conversation, Princess and I discussed the inspiration behind the founding of the Cardinal Divas, how Princess manages a work/life balance as a student leader, and the importance of creating a space for Black students at a PWI.

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

In passing, you’ve likely heard the phrase, “the eyes are the windows to the soul.” But did you know that there is an emerging body-based modality that works to process client trauma through movement in the eyes? It’s called ‘Brainspotting,’ and today’s guest is here to share all about it. Nicole Bryant is a licensed Mental Health clinician practicing in North Carolina who specializes in neuro-psychotherapy and is currently a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner. 

In our conversation today, we discuss the science behind Brainspotting, how Brainspotting can serve as an alternative for clients dissatisfied with talk therapy, and why she believes communities of color could benefit most from this treatment.

A few weeks ago, Megan Thee Stallion released her first self-funded title, "Cobra", which shares a glimpse into how she's been feeling the past few years and some of the mental health challenges she's experienced. I was very moved by the song and wanted to share a few thoughts for consideration.

In case you missed it, we’re diving back into our catalog to get you all prepared for the upcoming holiday season. This week we’re circling back on our conversation about “blending families’ with Jordan A. Madison, licensed clinical marriage and family therapist and contributing writer to the Therapy for Black Girls blog.

Whether you’re bringing a plus one to this year’s family dinner or planning to spend the holidays with the cousins you haven’t seen in years, there is one thing for certain, blending new family members with old traditions can be tricky  During our conversation we discussed:

• Some of the more common feelings associated with blending families for the first time
• What about the holidays overall can cause tension amongst family members
• How you can maintain your wellness practices while other people are staying in your home or you’re staying in someone else’s
• Telling your family you’re not coming home for the holidays

As the seasons begin to change we’re taking another good look at the sister- friends that have carried us this far into the year. What better way to celebrate friendship than to showcase how Black women of all ages have fostered supportive, uplifting, and life saving bonds? It’s no secret that over here at TBG, we believe “Sisterhood Heals” and today’s guests are a perfect example of the liberating impact our connections have. Joining me for today’s conversation are community members Ca’ren Hudson & Bettye Holt-Haskins. This godmother-goddaughter duo are representative of an intergenerational friendship with an age gap of 47 years. We chatted about their transition from godmother and daughter to best friends, what friendship looks and feels like when operating as equals, and the multitude of benefits in making friends in every age group.
