• S25E9: Empowering the Next Generation Through Sex Education with Camila Rodriguez

  Hey lady! This week friend of the show, Camila Rodriguez, joins Dr. Dom and Terri to have an honest conversation about how to open a conversation with the youth in our lives about sex. Cami, is the co-founder of Empowered Caretakers: Navigating Sex Education with Kids and Teens. She is on a mission to help all the people in a child’s village empower them to make healthy decisions around their sexuality. In today’s climate, we cannot rely on public education to inform and empower students to advocate for themselves. Cami makes a point to expand the conversation from parents to caretakers because not every family looks or operates the same, but the importance of having the conversation and having it early remains consistent across the board.Cami’s course aims to arm caretakers with the information to explain with love and in an age-appropriate manner how children and teens can feel empowered to know their bodies, honor their boundaries, own their pleasure, and advocate for themselves if they find themselves in dangerous circumstances. Lady, we all know that knowledge is power and when you create a supportive environment with a foundation of respect, honesty, love and care you have a greater chance for a strong relationship with your loved one. Tune into today’s episode for tips on how to cultivate safety and trust during challenging conversations with the young people in your life. Quote of the Day:"The conversation starts with you." – Camila Rodriguez  Goal Map Like a Pro WorkbookCultivating H.E.R.

• S25E7: Love vs. Loneliness: How to Know If You’re Settling or Building Something Real

  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. Quote of the Day:"Until you get comfortable being alone, you'll never know if you're choosing someone out of love or loneliness." – Mandy Hale  Goal Map Like a Pro WorkbookCultivating H.E.R.

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.
