017: Dr. Joy on Jealous Friends, Hard Conversations, and Why Therapists Need a Therapist

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!
