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.

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 a session 139 of the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast.

On the Therapy for Black Girls social media channels, we ask lots of questions to help you

to pause and take a second to reflect, and many members of the community love engaging

and journaling about some of the questions we share.

So I thought it might be cool to bring some of their same energy here to the podcast.

And specifically, I wanted to pull some questions to get you to think more about you, who

you are, what makes you tick, how you show up in the world, all of that good stuff.

But first, I want to share a quick word from our sponsor for this week.

How often do you think about your socks?

If you're like I used to be, probably not much.

But I recently discovered socks that changed the way I'll think about socks forever.

They're called bombas.

Bombas are super comfy and super cute socks for the gym, the office, or anywhere else

you'd like to wear them.
