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.

Just to bring it out. This is what

compels me to compel them. And I will do it by whatever means necessary. Welcome to the Black

Girls Hill podcast where we talk about healing our intimacy disorders and resolve trauma

and building a healthy relationship with first ourselves and then others.

Every episode, we will talk about advice you can apply today to bring unhealthy patterns and grow

in your self-work. I'm Sheena Lachay, Love Addiction Coach and Trauma Specialist. Let's begin.

Hello, hello. Welcome to the latest episode of Black Girls Heal. Today we are doing a palate

cleanse. We are focusing on three ways that you can cultivate, create, have more positivity

in times of stress. I've decided to do a pause in the series that we've been doing.

We've been doing themes related to No Contact as I finished the no contact book. And then also last week, I did a jump off episode

based on the breakup that happened with Meg the Stallion and her ex-boyfriend. And that on top of

all the other things, it just felt like a lot. It just felt very heavy. And I was like, the last thing that I want to do

is to come and talk more about the themes of no contacts, which we get to no contact when we are

in stressful relationships, toxic partnerships, dysfunctional cycles that we cannot break. And I was

like, we need a little bit of a break. We need a little bit of light. We need a little bit of hope. We need a little bit of knowing how to not only cope, but to possibly survive when things are not going the ways that we need them to, whether or not it's in our interpersonal relationships or in our outside life as well. So my hope is today that the three things I'm going to share with you, that yes, you can apply this to whatever particular relationship issues that you are having,

ways that may be affecting your self-esteem, your self-worth, but more than anything,

you're going to be able to take these tips and use it to apply with whatever may be going

on in your life, whether or not it's career issues, daily stress issues, if you stay on top of

global events and the status of where things are, a way for you to find, again, peace, positivity,

and hope wherever you are. As always, take what you need, leave the rest. And let's go ahead and jump on in.

So the first thing for us to do when it comes to coping with stress that may be happening in our life is to name the primary emotion in order to find a solution to it and to process it.
