Anxiety is the number one mental health diagnosis in America and Black women experience it in ways that we often ignore... In this week's episode, Terri shares that she has been in a reflective space and unapologetically experiencing ALL of her feelings. One of the things she noticed was anxiety.

Then they provide us with tips on how we can all manage our anxiety. Tune in to find out if Terri and Dom list the way(s) in which anxiety may be showing up in your life.
