    S23E11: Confronting Conflict: Tools for Successfully Navigating Tricky Situations
    Sep 13 2024
    Hey lady! Have you ever found yourself in a tense predicament where you and another person are at odds and have differing perspectives on how to find a solution? These everyday occurrences, also known as conflicts, are natural parts of life and when handled skillfully can increase your ability to relate to others and improve your self-respect.

    Conflicts can range from things as simple as asking a neighbor to stop blocking your parking space to much larger issues such as how to parent a child you share. There is no right way to handle conflict, but there are ways to improve your chances of finding a peaceful resolution.

    This week Dr. Dom and Terri have a framework to add to your toolkit when disagreements and troubling situations arise. Head to Patreon to grab your downloadable copy of the framework so you can review it and adapt it to your personal style. Once you understand how you can navigate conflict with this framework you’ll be in the driver’s seat of your experience and more able to meet life as it is.

    Quote of the Day:
    “The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them.”

  • S23E10: How I Got HIV: Trauma, Pregnancy, and Healing with Bianca Ordonez

    S23E10: How I Got HIV: Trauma, Pregnancy, and Healing with Bianca Ordonez
    Sep 6 2024
    Hey lady! Dr. Dom and Terri welcome Bianca Ordoñez to Cultivating H.E.R. Space to discuss a topic that affects one out of every 54 Black women in their lifetime. Bianca is a HIV awareness advocate and uses her light to discuss how contracting and living with the infection has shaped her life and allowed her to write her own narrative.

    Bianca’s journey is a harrowing series of events that began with inconceivable family shame that led to her escaping sex trafficking and being diagnosed with HIV at the age of 23. She shares her unique insight on how to build a life one can be proud of despite significant challenges.

    While today’s topic is serious, Bianca offers both a sobering perspective on finding your worth and hope for those who may feel that their life choices, predicated by events that may have been out of their control, do not have to define their destiny.

    This is a can’t miss episode and a reminder about the importance of health in every facet of your life. Be sure to take care of yourself through it. We love you, lady!

Space keep the good times rolling by introducing you to the dynamic trio making waves in country music. Chapel Hart is a Nashville-based country group with roots in Mississippi taking the genre by storm.The two sisters, Danica and Devynn Hart, and their cousin Trea Swindle join Terri and Dr. Dom for a lively, spunky, real conversation about the ups and downs breaking into a traditionally white, male genre. They talk about how getting their start in church gave them a solid foundation to not only keep themselves motivated, but also to keep their eyes on their own paper and run their race. This advice has taken the group far as a self-funded indie group letting their voices be heard on the America’s Got Talent stage (leading to them making it to the finals in 2022) and on the Grand Old Opry stage (where they received four standing ovations).They drop gems about what it means to own your dreams and not let anything deter you from being as successful as you want to be.

  • S23E6: Unpacking Pretty Privilege: Examining How We Perceive and Respond to Attractiveness

    S23E6: Unpacking Pretty Privilege: Examining How We Perceive and Respond to Attractiveness
    Aug 9 2024
    Hey lady! We know you know you’re a baddie, but do you really know the power you hold? Pretty privilege is often discussed on social media as an ideal, but it’s an actual concept with real consequences – good or bad.

    Pretty privilege is the notion that society favors people based on if and how they are perceived as conventionally attractive. Often, it can result in extra favors or treats because of your beauty, but sometimes the implication of extra favor for attractiveness can make for uncomfortable situations. After all, we want to be valued for our worthiness and merit over beauty, but being appreciated for having that je ne sais quoi doesn’t hurt either.

    Terri and Dr. Dom sit down and talk about when they first realized they were beautiful, ways that they’ve experienced pretty privilege, and how they’ve maintained control in their experience of it. They offer some reflection questions for you to dive deep into your own experience of it so that you can anchor why your level of hotness is top tier no matter what anyone says!

    Remember lady, true beauty does, indeed, start within. So, hold your head up high and strut through life like the Goddess you are!

    Aug 2 2024
    Hey lady! Are you ready to step in the future? Well, even if you are not the future is here.

    Artificial Intelligence, once only imagined in sci-fi movies, is now a part of daily life. Whether it’s speaking into Siri for basic information or prompting ChatGPT to write your emails and official communications, AI is here and it looks like it is here to stay.

    So, is this a good thing? Dr. Dom and Terri explore their apprehensions about the technology and offer a few perspectives on the evolution of technology from the analog days until now where technology drives innovation. Still, questions linger about job security, privacy concerns, and keeping the use of data ethical.

    Lady, this is going to be an ongoing conversation and we want to hear from you about your stance on AI! Find us on Instagram and let us know are you ready for the technological revolution or does the idea of AI make you feel uneasy?
