Session 238: Decisions, Decisions

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.This week’s episode of Insecure finds Issa contemplating lots of different choices that left me thinking about how we actually go about making decisions in our lives. So of course I had to get Dr. Oriowo back in the booth so we could chat all about it. She and I discussed the many decisions Issa is contemplating and what information she may need to make them, how we reconcile choices in our own lives when our heads and hearts may be in different places, and our predictions for what we might see in the final 2 episodes. This episode does contain spoilers.Where to Find Dr. Oriowowww.annodright.comGrab a copy of Cocoa Butter & Hair GreaseInstagram: @annodrightTwitter: @drdonnaoriowoListen to Dr. Oriowo here on Session 231 of the podcast discussing the Season 5 premiere of Insecure.Listen to Dr. Oriowo here on Session 201 of the podcast discussing how to vet relationship advice.Listen to Dr. Oriowo here on Session 60 of the podcast discussing colorism and texturism. Listen to Dr. Oriowo here on Session 159 of the podcast discussing Molly's return to therapy.Listen to Dr. Oriowo here on Session 158 of the podcast discussing Issa & Lawrence's relationship.Listen to Dr. Oriowo here on Session 155 of the podcast discussing Molly & Issa's friendship.Listen to Dr. Oriowo here on Session 151 of the podcast discussing the Season 4 premiere of Insecure.Stay ConnectedIs there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?
