Welcome to the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast, a weekly conversation about mental health,

personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible

versions of ourselves.

I'm your host, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia.

And while I hope you love listening to and learning from the podcast, it is not meant

to be a substitute for a relationship with a licensed mental health professional.

Hey y'all, thanks so much for joining me for session 83 of the Therapy for Black Girls

Podcast.

In today's episode, we'll be digging into some of the challenges that may come up after

a divorce.

But before we get to that, I want to remind you that the doors of the Yellow Couch Collective

are now open, and we've already started having some amazing conversations about how to

be more assertive in our communication, dating in a new city, and Michelle Obama's new

book Becoming.

Later this month, we'll be having a live Q&A with Shamira Howard, the sexologist you

heard a few episodes ago to talk more about sexual freedom.

So if you've been looking for a space to connect with other black women while also developing

skills to help you thrive in your life and relationships, this is the place for you.

For today's conversation, I'm joined by Shautet Thompson.
