| How to Close the Year With Intention: Releasing, Reflecting, Resting & Preparing for What’s Next | 26 Dec 2025 | 00:41:32 | |
Hey lady! We made it! In this final episode of 2025, Dr. Dom and Terri celebrate all that has happened in this year so that they can honor it with sacred closure and use the lessons learned to fuel a productive, prosperous, and peaceful new year. Lady, what are the rituals and practices that you do at the end of year that help you set powerful intentions to have the year you want to have? Are you a woman who doesn’t play about having the house clean, the Black-eyed peas and greens on the stove when the clock strikes 12 on January 1? Are you a woman who likes to review all that happened this year to reflect on what went well and what could use some improvement…and what just doesn’t need to happen no mo’? Are you the woman who believes in pressing forward without addressing the good and the bad of what they year brought? Or, are you the woman who shuts the laptop, snuggles in bed with your favorite snack, book, show and gets all of the rest you need? We’re grown women so you already know that there is no right way to do life but Terri and Dr. Dom have some tips and frameworks that can help you sort through the year you’ve had so that you walk into 2026 with clarity and a sense of direction. Tune into this episode for journal prompts to walk you through your thoughts so that you’re off to the races when the clock strikes. Cheers to a safe and restful rest of the year!

| The Zombie Apocolypse Is Not So Far Away with Jenna Chrisphonte | 19 Dec 2025 | 00:57:53 | |
Lady, as we head into what is hopefully a quiet, restful holiday season why don’t you swap out your phone for a riveting new book that offers an escape into a world where zombies offer a glimpse into the power and beauty that resides in the Haitian culture. Jenna Chrisphonte, a New York-based author and playwright, invites readers on a journey where zombies and voodoo offer a historical perspective of the strength and resilience of Haiti. Talc: A Hatian Zombie Story is a resonant and timely look into how multifaceted revolutionary spirits are and why these stories are important in the Black diaspora. The current regime is trying to assert an oppressive and authoritarian hand in America to quell any desire for an uprising and they are banking on its citizens to be too tired, too scared, and too poor to fight back. Jenna’s work offers a perspective on how the tapestry of unique cultural experiences can weave together to create a resistance stronger than any dark force can conquer. Jenna discusses how her Haitian upbringing allowed her to gather lessons from her people that can be of use during this time of radical restructuring of our democracy. But, if all of that feels heavy just allow Jenna’s strong prose and attention to her craft whisk you away to world where zombies roam. By the end, you may begin to think that they already walk amongst us. What do we mean by that? Tune in! Quote of the Day: "Theater is the ground where the healing of this nation can begin to take place." – Jenna Chrisphonte

| S21E2: Embracing Self-Compassion: Navigating Accountability and Overcoming Mental Roadblocks | 12 Jan 2024 | 00:51:08 | |
Lady, last week Dr. Dom and Terri set the stage for a powerful, productive, and prosperous 2024. But, they only had one hour and didn’t cover one of the most important keys of how you get there – self-compassion. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom dive deep into the nuances of one of the most impactful tools you can carry in your arsenal. Self-compassion is an opportunity to give yourself grace for the lessons you’ve learned and the wisdom to forgive yourself for doing your best with the information you had at the time. They discuss scenarios that help you identify when you’re being self-compassionate and self-pitying. One helps you move forward to a place of accountability, giving you the power to make informed decisions about the changes you want to make in your life. The other can, if left unchecked, keep you in a loop or leave you stuck. Curl up with your favorite mug of tea (psst! Check the Cultivating H.E.R. Space shop for an amazing latte mug and pillow for lounging), turn us on, and get ready for a heap of soul nourishment as you journey towards healing!

Hey lady! This week Terri and Dr. Dom tackle the sometimes-tricky subject of partnering while out earning their significant other.

| S20E10: Shifting Ties: Navigating the Dynamic Landscape of the Relationships With Our Elders | 08 Dec 2023 | 00:45:17 | |
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.

| S20E9: Invisible Alarms: Subtle Red Flags That Speak Volumes | 01 Dec 2023 | 00:51:57 | |
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 factormeals.com/herspace50 and use code herspace50 to get 50% off.

| S20E8: The Truth About Caretaking with Pamela Wilson | 24 Nov 2023 | 01:03:18 | |
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 The Caregiver Trap: Solutions for Life’s Unexpected Changes 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.

| Why Black Women Need to Talk about Perimenopause with Dr. Janet Williams | 26 Sep 2025 | 00:47:31 | |
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 Why Don’t I Like Sex Anymore? The Grown Woman’s Guide to Getting Your Groove Back and Claiming Your Truth 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!

| S18E7: When Your Reality Isn’t Matching Up With Your Dreams | 19 May 2023 | 00:42:39 | |
Hey lady! When you look at your life does it reflect where you thought you’d be twenty years ago, or is it completely different than how you imagined? If it’s radically different than what you imagined don’t fret. In fact, rejoice because that can be a sign that you’ve been following your unique path. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom sit down and reflect on their lives and process the ups and downs of their respective paths. In some areas, they still have goals they are aspiring to reach and in other aspects, the lives they’re currently leading are far better than what they imagined at 17. Does that resonate with you? Let this episode be an inspiration to keep moving forward in the direction of your dreams. And, also let it be a moment to stop and take stock of the beautiful life you’ve built. If there are things you want to change you have time to make it happen, and if there are things you want to amplify, there is time to make those happen too. So, take a deep breath and tap in!
