Imagine if someone made a podcast “Therapy for white girls” as if different races don’t experience the same problems. This was racist.
This episode helped me to understand some things. I am 3rd oldest of 6 with 4 women in the middle. We are constantly having problems with the youngest sister. Our mother never really stepped in to help us. I wish we could get the help to make our sisterhood strong. This gave me a lot of insight of what may be going on. Thank you.

I’ll keep it succinct.
For as much as I read books and listen to them as I keep busy; I’d somehow forgotten about checking this specific podcast out (from learning about it years ago) until I stumbled across it. As someone who advocates for mental healthcare; I truly appreciate how much so many facets of Black women are explored and celebrated in this series. Thank you! Congratulations on letting your light shine! 💞
