  • Powerful truths about healing and transformation

    The episode with Devi Brown shines with depth and clarity. Her take on giving ourselves “permission to shatter” and approaching healing as devotion—not just self-care—is a powerful reframing that speaks to the heart of true transformation.

    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! 💞

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Session 430: Re-Living Single with Erika Alexander & Kim Coles
Q: Can you share maybe what's been the most difficult thing to talk about on the show?
It's difficult to talk about things that we had very little control over and are still trying to process and manage, including personal disappointments and industry dynamics.
Session 431: Understanding Personality Disorders
Q: What are the hallmark characteristics of personality disorders such as lack of insight?
Personality disorders often go hand in hand with ego-syntonic tendencies, meaning individuals may not see their behaviors as problematic, making them less likely to seek treatment. Insight can vary greatly, and often they may only address symptoms stemming from related conditions like anxiety or depression instead of the personality disorder itself.
Session 431: Understanding Personality Disorders
Q: Can you talk about personality disorders as a set of diagnoses and what does it mean to have a personality disorder?
There are about ten personality disorders grouped into clusters, where traits can cause dysfunction affecting relationships, work, and self-perception. Not all individuals with certain traits have a disorder, as these disorders require a collection of traits causing significant life issues.
Session 425: Understanding OCD
Q: What resources are available for those who think they may have OCD?
The International OCD Foundation and ERP Kaleidoscope are great starting points for resources and support.
Session 425: Understanding OCD
Q: What does Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) entail?
ERP involves exposing clients to anxiety-provoking stimuli while preventing their compulsive responses, helping them learn to tolerate discomfort without the compulsion.
