Hey lady! The holiday season is upon us and as you know this season can bring a wide range of emotions. Some of us are excitedly preparing to gather with our loved ones for times of good cheer. Some of us are grappling with the realities and nuances that grief brings when the people we love are no longer here. Some of us are lonely and this season is a glaring reminder of the community – or lack thereof – that we’ve cultivated. All of these experiences bring lessons that we can use and apply to our lives. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom talk about what the holiday season means to them as they’ve aged. They share personal stories about growing up and what lessons they gleaned from the elders in their lives and offer perspectives about how those lessons have been successfully applied to their personal journeys. Lady, whatever this holiday season brings we wish you peace and comfort. Head over to Instagram and let us know some of the best pieces of wisdom or advice you’ve received from the elders in your life!

Hey lady! During this season of renewal, you may be taking a look at all of the people and things that are in your life. Do they fill you with joy or do they bring a sense of dread? These are a couple of the questions you can ask yourself as you take stock of your life and reflect on what the year has brought. One important area to assess is your relationship. Does it leave you feeling inspired and renewed or do you walk away feeling depleted? This week Terri and Dr. Dom discuss all of the silent warnings that our intuition gives us when something isn’t quite right. Very often it’s easy to ignore those subtle red flags but those are usually good indicators of where we can establish stronger boundaries, work on compromises, or simply walk away from a situation that may not be in our best interest. Tune into the Aftershow for more tips on how to navigate the scenarios we find ourselves in with love and dating. Quote of the Day: “All too often women believe it is a sign of commitment, an expression of love, to endure unkindness or cruelty, to forgive and forget. In actuality, when we love rightly, we know that the healthy, loving response to cruelty and abuse is putting ourselves out of harm's way.” – bell hooks Head to https://www.factor75.com/pages/podcast?c=HERSPACE50&mealsize=8-1&c_comms=PERCENT&utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=cpm&utm_campaign=podcast50off&utm_content=act_podcast_podcastads&vs_campaign_id=07a8da85-76a7-4540-8dc1-4e6861f6b4c8 and use code herspace50 to get 50% off.

Lady! It’s the holiday season and it seems that the world is beginning to slow down and begin the restoration and hibernation process. But if you’re a caregiver you know that your job never really stops. In fact, caregiving is often an around-the-clock job that can be overwhelming – especially if it is a sudden change and you have little to no support. Dr. Dom and Terri understand and empathize with how taxing the role can be even when it comes with some of life’s sweetest rewards, which is why they invited Pamela D. Wilson, caregiving expert and author of https://pameladwilson.com/caregiving-trap-book/ and host of The Caring Generation Podcast, to discuss tips and solutions for a wide range of caregiver topics. Pamela covers how to navigate a new world that can often be frustrating and expensive and offers a host of resources to help you begin your journey into caretaking. And, if you’re already well down the road or one of the sandwich generation (who are taking care of both parents and children), but feel resentment building and maybe even experiencing burnout, she has some tips and perspective to help ease some of that tension. If you’re not in this position, this episode is still for you as you’ll gain insight to create a plan for yourself in the event you need help. We’re in this together, so tune in and feel a little less alone while mapping out a game plan for your future! Quote of the Day: "Being a caregiver is hard." – Pamela Wilson Where to find Pamela D.

Hey lady! It’s the end of the year and it’s a great time to reflect and restore as we head into hibernation season. How are you feeling about this year? Are there changes that need to be made? This week, Terri and Dr. Dom discuss what it looks like when it’s time to change your job. Dr. Dom and Terri share some of their personal experiences that brought big revelations about how to navigate their careers this week and some of those instances may resonate with you. Are you ready to make the leap? Tune into the Aftershow for tips on how to do so with grace, class, and most of all self-respect. Questions to ask yourself to identify if it's time to quit: - Are you burned out? - Does this job no longer bring you joy? - Has your health been negatively affected? - Are you compromising your ethics, values, or integrity? - Are you being harassed or threatened? - Do you feel psychologically, emotionally, or physically unsafe? - Have you accomplished all of your goals and there is no room for growth or promotion? Strategies for quitting: - Consult your mentor(s) - Identify a timeline (do you need to walk away now or can you give a reasonable notice; when do you notify your immediate boss, colleagues, etc.) - Get your financial house in order (checking, savings, retirement, insurance, PTO/sick/vacation) - Identify your next steps (how much time off, securing another job, launching a business) - Submit an official resignation letter (you want things in writing) - Provide feedback and/or an exit interview Quote of the Day: “When Black women are able to 'quit a thing' it typically can be attributed to at least four causes. She was invited to do a job that it is impossible for her to be successful at, she is disrespected, her work is devalued (a form of disrespect), or she is simply tired of fighting." – Dr. Wendi S.
