7 NOV 2025 · Hey lady! You know like we know that sometimes we are…right. It’s never about being right, it’s just the truth that sometimes we have opinions that are actually right even if they may be controversial.
This week, Terri and Dr. Dom offer a cheeky look at some real “hear us out” situations that will possibly get them cancelled. The two offer some common sense perspectives about things we may have been socialized to believe that are no longer true (White looks just as good in the winter as it does in the Summer) and some that we have been socialized to believe that were actually never true (sugar belongs in a lot of places…just not grits).
Lady, tap in on Instagram and let us know which opinions you have that would get you cancelled (respectfully)! Which one of these opinions do you not so secretly agree with?
Quote of the Day:
“It’s givin’ ‘I’m right, but let’s discuss it anyway.’"

31 OCT 2025 · Hey lady! In these trying times connecting with community is more important than ever. Community is not just your close friends or even your family. Community is the place where you live, work, and play. It contains history, wisdom and can thrive when tended to well. That’s why Dr. Dom and Terri are thrilled to welcome M. Simone Boyd and Andrea Tudhope, hosts of the podcast https://www.wearenorthnashville.org/podcast/, as they discuss the power of collecting the stories of the elders in the community to create a beautiful tapestry of legacy, love, and pride.
Inspired by a series of tragic events that occurred during the pandemic, Simone set out to capture the stories of the elders in her life before it was too late. But, as she soon found out the work was worthy but the emotional labor would take a toll if she didn’t recruit help for her noble mission. Together, with her co-hosts, Andrea and Steve Haruch, the three embarked on a journey of bridge building, record setting, and community preservation that has led to a fulfilling audio project the residents of North Nashville can feel proud of.
If you’re in a space where you know you need to build community and you want to contribute to the community you live in but don’t know where to get started tune in to today’s episode. Andrea and Simone offer their perspective on how approaching people and conversations from a heart-centered place can get all of us back to a place where we peacefully coexist and thrive together.
Lady, we want to hear from you! Holla at us in Instagram and let us know how you’re building community or working to preserve the stories of the community you’re in.

24 OCT 2025 · Hey lady, this week, Dr. Dom and Terri delve into a topic that affects a third of Black women in the United States – divorce. While the process of divorce can often be painful, tedious, and costly it does not always mean that getting divorced is a bad thing. In fact, it can be one of the most liberating, self-actualizing events to occur in a woman’s life.
Terri offers her perspective as a recent divorcee and offers actionable tips to help you think through what life can be like post nuptials. And, Dr. Dom offers her perspective as a licensed clinical psychologist who works closely with women to process their lives pre- and post-divorce so that they can write beautiful new chapters in their full life stories.
Together, they provide a framework where women facing divorce, recovering from divorce, or embarking on new horizons as a whole, single woman can all walk forward with their head’s high and excited about their lives.
Tune in for a grounded conversation about the highs and the lows of divorce and give yourself grace for wherever you are on the path.
Quote of the Day:
“Divorce is not a failure: Redefine failure and success for yourself and what you truly believe about life. Not what society tells us. There are many married people who are quietly miserable; is this success?”

17 OCT 2025 · Lady, if you’ll remember in season 27, episode 8, Dr. Dom and Terri broke down the truth about feedback. It is, indeed, a gift but it requires nuance, timing, respect, and care. It is a critical piece in building intimacy in relationships and establishing a baseline of respect. So, how do you build a toolkit that is resilient enough to make your own while being flexible enough to appropriately adapt to the situation at hand?
Tune in for five actionable strategies about how to give feedback that is constructive. Terri and Dr. Dom not only offer food for thought but also varied scenarios where having these conversations can get tricky. Tune into the Aftershow for more examples of how providing constructive feedback can be important in the development of long-term relationships. Whether it be with your littles or with your elders, feedback is a gift. How you choose to wrap it, the presentation of the feedback, matters a great deal in how it is received.
Lady, we want to start a dialogue. Our healing is essential to being the light we need during these times. Let’s grow together – join us in Patreon where you can connect directly with Dr. Dom, Terri, and the rest of our beautiful community. We share resources and our own personal journeys so that we can learn from one another.
In the event that you need additional support, check-in with Dr. Dom for a https://www.drdominiquebroussard.com/services. Consider it a great first step towards your holistic wellness.

10 OCT 2025 · Hey lady! We know you’ve been doing the work. The real, soul-transformative work that opens your world to new possibilities and brighter days. We’re so proud of you for making a commitment to yourself to be a better you for YOU. But, the truth is that healing does not happen in a vacuum and some of the most powerful healing happens in community. What does that mean? In short, it’s time to step out of your cocoon so that you can step into your power and purpose.
One of the most powerful skills in allowing community to see you, support, and help you grow to your highest potential is skillful vulnerability. We name vulnerability as a skill rather than a tool because it takes learned practice and developed discernment to use it authentically, but baby when it settles in your system you build a level of self-trust that allows you to engage with people and situations with grace and awareness that offers a true richness in life.
So, are you ready to expand your capacity for real, genuine, human interactions and cultivate the life of your dreams? Tap in. Dr. Dom and Terri offer a grounded perspective of ways to increase vulnerability and signs that a certain person may not be deserving of your intimate space. As with all things pack your self-compassion and self-forgiveness as you enjoy the ride but be sure to make room for all of the beauty life has to offer when you let the real you shine.
If you haven’t heard it today, we love you for real lady!
Quote of the Day:
"Being a Strong Black Woman doesn’t mean that you can’t be vulnerable. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay if you’re having a bad day. It’s okay if some days you feel like giving up. It’s okay if you need to ask for help."

26 SEP 2025 · Hey lady! The weather’s cooling down but for some of us that doesn’t necessarily mean that your body is lowering the temperature. Why? Because perimenopause is a thing and it’s time we talk about it and why it’s impacting Black women more and earlier than other women.
Friend of the podcast and all-around boss babe, Dr. Janet Williams, a Los Angeles-based OB/GYN and author of https://www.amazon.com/Why-Dont-Like-Sex-Anymore/dp/B0BF33NJ4Y joins Dr. Dom and Terri to get real about a natural station in life for every cis-gendered woman. You may remember the many jewels she dropped in season 25, episode 5 urging women to take more ownership in their intimate pleasure. She’s now back to arm Black women with the information they need during one of the most significant changes in life. Once considered the marker of old age it is now a signifier of the strength and beauty that exists in aging. But, before you rise in your feminine power there are some things to know to make the journey smoother…and less sweaty.
Dr. Janet not only provides a clear definition of what menopause, perimenopause and post-menopause are but also break down what is happening in the body and provide specific markers you can use as a guide to help you inform yourself about where you are on the journey. Dr. Janet uses her expertise to offer guidance on treatments like hormone replacement therapy, demystifies the sometimes-inexplicable changes happening in the body, and clears up myths and confusion around proper supplementation to ease some of the uncomfortable symptoms that occur during each phase.
Lady, you already know where to go to get your level-up journal (Patreon), but there’s more on Patreon as well. Get behind-the-scenes dialogue and maybe even a few bloopers so you can see the real side of Terri and Dr. Dom. And, if you want to hear all of Dr. Janet’s gems without interruption, consider becoming a subscriber on Apple Podcasts for an ad-free listening experience. Lady, we want to hear from you! Holla at us in Patreon and let us know what stood out to you in this episode.
