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 77 of the Therapy for Black Girls

Podcast.

Today we're going to be talking all about the truth about self-care.

But before we dive into that conversation, I want to share a few announcements.

First, I want to correct a mistake I made in session 74 that was all about body image

and black women athletes.

I mistakenly said that Natalie Graves, who was our guest expert for that episode, was

in Michigan.

But she's actually in Chicago.

So if you're looking to connect with her in her practice, she's definitely in Chicago.

You can find all of her information in the show notes for that episode at therapyforblackgirls.com.

Slash session 75.

Secondly, my birthday is next week.

Yay!

And as a true Libra, of course I am celebrating all month long.
