Come chat with host Kennedy and this week's guest, therapist Madison Sparkman. She is both a Spelman and DePaul alumna. In this episode, they discuss the stigma of being labeled a "strong" black woman and how it has limited their ability to be vulnerable and see themselves and the world fully. They touch on a few topics such as the strong black woman schema, the health of black women, the importance of stepping outside the lens of one's trauma, being black in academia, and post-graduate depression.

On this week's episode, we are accompanied by my close friend Morgan Myles. Listen with us as we dive into a conversation centering around the gifts that God has placed us with, how to internalize the truth about ourselves, and learning how to see ourselves in the image that God sees us. Share and tag your experiences with us on social media as both Morgan and I share our vulnerable experiences that we've had thus far.

Today, with my best friend Scarlett, we dive into our journey of healing and take you through the moments of self-sabotage, doubt, toxic cycles, and just everything that the "healing" journey entails. We talk about the nitty gritty and all the full-circle moments we encountered as we overcame those cycles.

On this week's episode, we have Janet Martin, the CEO of Beauty & Brains. She shares her journey throughout medical school, how she gained the courage to go after what God called her to do, how she found peace within that process.

Come chat with host Kennedy and this week's guest, Scarlett, as they break down where Therapy Friday came from, what it means to them, and how this became a "thing" in their lives. Sit back and unpack with the duo about how they've maneuvered through tough seasons and stayed the course through it all.
