Hey lady! This week Dr. Dom and Terri pick up where they left off discussing why protecting your reputation is high priority as we navigate the new terrain of a saturated misinformation market where a sharp discernment will be key to keeping you from getting got. Your name carries weight wherever you go. What does your name say when you aren’t in the room? Terri and Dr. Dom dive even deeper into why developing good character, high integrity, and a moral compass go a long way to earning a strong reputation. Life is made for living and who you were then does not have to be who you are now. While reputations change you character stands the test of time. Part One focused on how to interrogate yourself but we are hardwired to be in community with others. This week Dr. Dom and Terri highlight ways to identify green flags in others so that your ability to vet becomes stronger in your interpersonal relationships. Lady, you’ve heard us say it and we’ll continue to say it – we’re all we got. So, we need to start acting like it and nurture the relationships that help us show up as our authentic selves. If you’re ready to drop the masks and be the truest you, tap in babe! We’re over here growing!   Quote of the Day: “Because the reality is, people are human. People make mistakes. But we also have to learn how to protect ourselves, trust ourselves, and move with wisdom.” – Unknown   This episode is brought to you by VB Health, supplements that work.

Hey lady! This week Dr. Dom and Terri dive into an important, but sometimes touchy topic. What you think about yourself and what others think about you are two different concepts that radically impact your life. Self-esteem and self-regard are what keep your self-concept in check but your reputation is built on variable factors – few of which are in your control. The good news is there are strategies to help you improve your reputation and all of them are in your control. Terri and Dr. Dom offer perspective on why building strong character matters more than creating an image built on controlling people’s perception of you. Don’t get it twisted, your image matters and so does the narrative around you but the incredible thing about living is that at any moment you can own your narrative and write a new story based on what is true to you and your life experience. Lady, this episode is jam packed with richness to help you gain clarity about how to present the best, most real version of yourself. You deserve to live in a world where you are respected and valued, but that first starts with you!   Quote of the Day: “Deal with yourself as an individual worthy of respect and make everyone else deal with you the same way.” – Nikki Giovanni   Know what you’re looking for?

Hey lady! Can you tell the difference between an old heaux and a young heaux? If you can no longer drop down and get your eagle on, but it’s cool because you don’t even know that means anyway then this episode is for you. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom have fun bridging the gap between the generational divide that exists because sistas across the land are realizing we have a lot to learn from each other. No matter what generation you are a part of, we can all agree that life is remarkably different than what we were used to; and what has become clear in these turbulent times is that we’re going to need each other to get through them. Our individual life lessons weave into a colorful tapestry of collective wisdom when we decide to listen to one another. With that perspective in mind, Dr. Dom and Terri make a playful delineation between old heaux and young heaux behavior. Pour your favorite beverage of choice and tap in to what makes each lived experience amazing and different and worth celebrating. Young heauxs have enviable opportunities  and freedoms that our ancestors dreamed, and old heauxs have the benefit and beauty of a life before social media allowing space for creativity, culture, and common sense. Together, we can light a path for the generations younger than us to build the world they deserve.
