×Hey lady! Can you feel the transformation in the air? The feeling that change is around us is undeniable. Sometimes that change is within your relationships. Do you know when it’s time to cut ties with someone you’ve been romantically linked to? Terri and Dr. Dom offer their perspectives, based on their unique experiences, to shed some light on when it may be time to ditch your relationship. There are many excuses for staying in a relationship. Maybe you’ve been in it for years and fear starting over, maybe you share children and don’t want to disrupt their lives. Maybe the dizzle is just too bomb. It’s understandable to feel like those are acceptable reasons to remain in a relationship but the truth is if the relationship is no longer serving your highest good then lady, it’s time to give it the boot. Lady, in 2025 we are not settling. This episode may push a few buttons but healing doesn’t always feel pleasant. Your growth edge may lie in having a good look in the mirror about who you choose to share your energy with. So, get comfy and get your journal as Dr. Dom and Terri help you into a deeper understanding of how you take your relationships to the next level. And, don’t forget to check out the Aftershow where the ladies share more tea about their love lives.

Hey lady! How has cuffing season been treating you? Are you boo’d up and keeping cozy, or is your bed cold and it has you feeling a way? This week, Terri and Dr. Dom dive into the difference between being alone and loneliness and why the feelings of the latter may cause us to operate from a place of lack and find ourselves in less than desirable circumstances. While it may be hard to go through life when you yearn for a relationship, there’s good reason to find the abundance around you so that desperation doesn’t rear its ugly head and you wind up with someone you normally wouldn’t give a second look. This means looking at who is in your life and why, and then listening to your internal voice to get an accurate assessment of if it’s the right relationship for you. Taking stock of your relationships isn’t about keeping your heart in a safehouse far away from the possibility of being hurt. Instead, it empowers you to be honest about where you are in life and see if who you are dealing with aligns or not. When you operate from a place of loneliness it is entirely possible for you to settle for less than what you deserve, which is why you arm yourself with a gameplan to keep the blues away. Want more tips for your toolkit? Head to the Aftershow where Dr. Dom and Terri offer seven tips to help you move from a point of loneliness to a place of personal power.

Hey lady! You’re in for a treat this week so we won’t delay. Dr. Thema Bryant, psychologist, author, professor, sacred artist, and minister joins Dr. Dom and Terri to bring a much-needed balm to our spirits with her wisdom, insight and soothing energy. Whenever Dr. Thema speaks it’s hard not to feel that everything is going to be alright! Dr. Thema is host of the popular The Homecoming Podcast and is no stranger to the podcast airwaves or the Cultivating H.E.R. Space podcast. Check out S3E12 and S8E12 to hear some of the timeless gems she shares. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom welcome Dr. Thema back to discuss how her new book Matters of the Heart can help everyone who is in need of healing in their relationships. Often when people discuss relationships the focus is on romantic relationships. Dr. Thema posits that healing our relationship with relating to others in all facets of our life will help us build the level of community needed to lead a healthy and fulfilled life. There are mindsets that one can adopt to help add clarity to her or his personal approach to their circle. Maybe you don’t need to cut that person off…you just need boundaries. Or, perhaps the relationship feels difficult because its run its course…and that’s ok. What can seem easy to understand in theory can often be difficult in practice, which is why Dr. Thema explains that she structured her book to be both a chapter book that can be read in order, but also a reference book that you can call upon for specific scenarios and situations. In short, it’s a true tool to aide in the healing of all your relationships. Lady, if it’s not evident yet, we’re going to need each other to get through this new phase of life. Healing and strengthening the relationships in your life not only provide peace, comfort and love but also serve as a powerful act of resistance against oppression and harm. Let’s love each other through this next chapter, lady! Want to find out how? Tune in.

1 S25E5: The Power of Community in Reclaiming Intimacy and Sexual Health with Dr. Janet Williams 49:19
Hey lady! This year is your year to take your pleasure to new heights. This is the year you take what makes you feel good and let it inform all the ways it makes your life beautiful and delicious. But, before you bloom like the beautiful rose you are, we need to get down to the root of what may be keeping you from experiencing the pleasure you so richly deserve. Remember, flowers bloom best in good soil. Dr. Janet Williams is a licensed physician and surgeon practicing in Los Angeles, where she is a board certified specialist in obstetrics and gynecology. Dr. Janet, as her patients affectionately call her, is also the author of Why Don't I Like Sex Anymore?: The Grown Woman’s Guide to Getting Your Groove Back and Claiming Your Truth and the owner of Good Groove Coach, an bespoke intimacy coaching service that includes one-on-one coaching, hypnotherapy and access to Dr. Janet’s Confident Pleasure Program. She joins Dr. Dom and Terri to discuss the myriad factors that can impact Black women’s access to healthy, thrilling, memorable sexual encounters. These factors go deeper than lingerie or even body issues. Black women face an inordinate amount of pressures that come from socio-economic, class, and race. Those pressures cause stress and stress can often lead to illness. We know the statistics when it comes to heart disease and blood pressure with Black women but we don’t talk about the emotional and mental tolls that they take on Black women. Couple that with changing hormones, and shifting cycles that eventually lead to perimenopause and menopause and you have a recipe for intimacy confusion. That’s why Dr. Janet is on a mission to arm women with the information they need to really get their groove back. As we head into challenging political times we’re going to need each other and our joy more than ever! Find your community and find your way to your best orgasm in this week’s episode. Lady, holler at us on Patreon and let us know how you plan on getting your groove back in 2025!

Hey lady! How are you doing with your New Year’s resolutions? Are you still on track with your health and wellness goals? If you started the year revved up and ready to go and already find yourself slouching back towards bad habits we want to help take some of the pressure off with a helpful reframe that will help sharpen your focus on your goals. This week, Alishia McCullough, a licensed clinical mental health therapist and founder of Black and Embodied Counseling and Consulting PLLC, stops by Cultivating H.E.R. Space to discuss her new book Reclaiming the Black Body: Nourishing the Home Within to discuss how Black women and femmes can unlearn the harmful narratives about our Black bodies. These stories have been passed down generationally and have been detrimental to how we view ourselves and our place in this world. Alishia offers new frameworks on how to view the Black body and divorce it from the way it’s been traditionally viewed by discussing our relationship with nourishing food, deep respect for our ancestral lineages, and combatting the images we see in the media. Lady, wherever you are in your health journey always remember that your mindset is the first part of you to conquer. Once you master how you view YOU, trust us, you will be unstoppable!

Hey lady! It’s the most wonderful time of the year! A time when, hopefully, life is slowing down, and you can spend time reflecting on your year and your life. This time is a great opportunity to take stock of where you’ve been, how you’ve grown, and dream up where you’re going. And, the beautiful thing about life is that as adults we have the power of choice to determine our futures. Chances are that if you’re listening to this podcast you are an adult or advancing into adulthood and have real world obligations and responsibilities. That’s why this week, Terri and Dr. Dom spend some time breaking down what established adulthood is and how you can make the most of every single day! Established adulthood is a concept popularized by Dr. Clare Mehta and it describes the intersection of multiple significant responsibilities like marriage, parenting, and caregiving for aging parents while advancing in one’s career. These are the markers of life that can define what life is and how you operate in it.

1 S24E11: Breaking the Stigma: HIV Awareness and Black Women’s Health with Dr. Maisha Standifer 56:37
Hey lady! This week, Dr. Dom and Terri welcome Dr. Maisha Standifer, Director of Population Health, The Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine to offer fresh information about HIV, AIDS, the trends she’s seeing in sexually transmitted disease infection rates and what Black women need to know about keeping themselves safe and healthy. Dr. Standifer is a powerhouse of a woman and offers grounded perspective on the real issues that the Black community face in regards to HIV transmission and AIDS. The truth of the matter is that despite HIV/AIDS being known in the community for more than 40 years the stigma has transferred from white gay men to Black women and so much of that is because of a lack of information. In fact, 50 percent of new HIV cases are Black women. Dr. Standifer doesn’t sugarcoat the facts about the fact if you are sexually active you are HIV possible. Armed with that knowledge, she offers solutions for prevention, resources for care should you contract the infection, and hope for a future where HIV and AIDS is eradicated from the community. Tune into a powerful conversation chock full of valuable information. This is your one precious life, lady, treat it with the best care!
