Therapy for Black Girls

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.It’s safe to say that many of us value being heard and understood. In order for that to happen, we must utilize effective communication skills. But, what does that look like? How do we know when we’re doing a good job communicating our point of view or listening to someone else’s? Joining me this week to dig more into this topic is Morgan R. Graves. Morgan and I chatted about the characteristics of good communication, avoiding poor communication habits, and understanding the different communication styles that exist. ResourcesVisit our Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast!Where to Find MorganWebsite InstagramStay ConnectedIs there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?

The consistent pressure to create and publish something new can tax our mental health, lead to exhaustion, and ultimately result in creator burnout. Joining us this week to chat about managing it all is the host of the For Colored Nerds podcast, Brittany Luse. Brittany and I explored how to identify burnout as a creator, setting boundaries online, and how therapy has assisted her mental health journey as a full-time creative. ResourcesVisit our Amazon Store for all the books mentioned on the podcast!Where to Find BrittanyFor Colored Nerds PodcastInstagramTwitterStay ConnectedIs there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?

But watching Insecure also became a large part of our production process as a team. We have a group chat where we share our reactions to the episodes, we discussed which episodes we would recap, and what topics we wanted to delve deeper into. So not only are we saying goodbye to the show, we’re also saying goodbye to that piece of our work together. So we wanted to share our thoughts about what this has meant to our work, our thoughts on the finale, and some thoughts on the documentary that was released to accompany the finale detailing more of the behind the scenes action.ResourcesCheck out a playlist of all of the Insecure related episodes here.Stay ConnectedIs there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?
