Summary
Hey lady! Can you tell the difference between an old heaux and a young heaux? If you can no longer drop down and get your eagle on, but it’s cool because you don’t even know that means anyway then this episode is for you. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom have fun bridging the gap between the generational divide that exists because sistas across the land are realizing we have a lot to learn from each other.
No matter what generation you are a part of, we can all agree that life is remarkably different than what we were used to; and what has become clear in these turbulent times is that we’re going to need each other to get through them. Our individual life lessons weave into a colorful tapestry of collective wisdom when we decide to listen to one another. With that perspective in mind, Dr. Dom and Terri make a playful delineation between old heaux and young heaux behavior. Pour your favorite beverage of choice and tap in to what makes each lived experience amazing and different and worth celebrating.
Young heauxs have enviable opportunities and freedoms that our ancestors dreamed, and old heauxs have the benefit and beauty of a life before social media allowing space for creativity, culture, and common sense. Together, we can light a path for the generations younger than us to build the world they deserve.
Tap in!
Quote of the Day:
“When you’ve seen women give everything and still end up depleted… choosing yourself starts to look like rebellion.”
