Summary

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, we're taking a moment to celebrate YOU. Yes, you! We're shifting away from our usual conversations about red flags and relationship challenges to focus on something equally important - acknowledging just how far you've come in your healing journey.

You know those moments when you catch a red flag early? When you trust your gut instead of second-guessing yourself? When you look in the mirror and actually like who you see? Those aren't small wins - they're evidence of your incredible growth, and it's time we celebrate them!

Through personal stories and real-life examples, we're diving into the beautiful transformation that happens when we start recognizing our own progress. From being able to spot those red flags quicker (instead of six months down the line!), to actually trusting ourselves more than other people's opinions, to developing that genuine self-love that isn't dependent on anyone else's validation - these are all victories worth celebrating.

This conversation isn't just about patting ourselves on the back - it's about acknowledging that every step forward in our healing journey matters. Whether you're just starting out or you're well along your path, there's something powerful about stopping to recognize how far you've come.

In this episode, we cover…

02:47 Why you should recognize your growth
03:31 Embracing your wisdom
05:13 How to navigate life's challenges
06:30 Understanding self-knowledge
08:26 How to build self-love
09:42 Having faith beyond relationships
19:22 The power of self-liking

0:00.0	My job is to somehow make them curious enough or persuade them by hook or crow to get more aware of themselves and where they came from and what they are into and what is already there.
0:20.0	Just to bring it out. This is what
0:22.1	compels me to compel them, and I will do it by whatever means necessary. Welcome to the Black
0:30.2	Girls Hill podcast, where we talk about healing our intimacy disorders and resolve trauma
0:35.1	and building a healthy relationship with first ourselves and then
0:38.6	others. Every episode, we will talk about advice you can apply today to break unhealthy patterns
0:44.4	and grow in your self-worth. I'm Sheena LaShea, love addiction coach and trauma specialists.
0:50.1	Let's begin.

0:57.7	I'm so happy to be with you again this week.
1:01.5	This week, we are coming with some positive vibes.
1:04.3	Instead of us looking at things to look out for, red flags, consequences of our behaviors,
1:10.7	you know, all the things to avoid. Let's look at
1:13.9	congratulating ourselves. Let's look at celebrating ourselves. Let's look at this person in the mirror
1:19.1	that we have been working for months, for years, for decades to curate, and telling her that
1:24.8	she's fit enough, telling her that we're proud of her, telling her that
1:27.8	she is exactly where she is supposed to be, and that we are here for her and with her.
1:32.9	And so for those of us who may need a reminder of why we are awesome and why we are good enough
1:38.8	or why we are on the right track and why we should be proud of ourselves, this episode is for
1:44.0	you. And for those of you who are
1:45.7	already there and you just want someone to co-sign with all the hard work that you've been doing
1:50.3	and just that you deserve all the good things. And this episode is for you as well. Okay. So let's go
