  • foiohfr
    Amazing podcast
    I love this podcast!! You ladies have helped me transition from early postpartum to now just tackling so many issues that have been super helpful to discuss and hear from you guys! This has been so therapeutic and insightful!!!!
  • Misztamara
    Great But Audio Issues
    Just started listening to this podcast and absolutely loved the episode with Jasmine, she was amazing. However, I am having a very hard time hearing everything Dom says! I don’t know if the microphones are different or what but Terri sounds much more clear and crisp whereas Dom sounds like she’s echoing or far away from the mic. That’s frustrating, please address.
  • Gigo55157
    Amazing work by amazing women!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for years! Really was instrumental in be getting out of a dark place before and after my divorce. These women are phenomenal! Seeing them at the live show in Oakland was also transformational. The growth of this podcast and these two have been beautiful to see! Keep up the work and enjoy the fruits of all your labor ladies
  • shaconna13
    Safe space
    These ladies provide such an amazing safe place for black women , the topics are always right on time. It’s like listen to my homegirls with a glass of wine. I am a forever listener.
  • Nana3170
    Outstanding
    This podcast hits it right on the head every time with such a remarkable sense of compassion and empathy.

    Love This!!
    I absolutely loved the questions at the end, especially at this time of the year. I appreciate you ladies!
  • Imisslala
    Great Space for Black Women
    From your topics to your questions to the game you all play, this is a great space for Black women! I loved the Shining w/ Vitiligo episode. Lid’ya was preaching while sharing her story. Her message was right on time while I’m learning to flow and not force.
  • kaycanela
    Love this podcast!
    You women are doing an amazing job. Your episodes are empowering, informative, and makes you think!
  • boringchick
    My new fave podcast!!
    I’m new to the family but I love this podcast so much. It reminds me of what my 98 year old great grandmother used to tell me all the time when I was in my 20s. After listening to a couple of episodes, I’m going to admit that I HOOKED! Can’t wait for Fridays to listen to a new episode!💕
  • Lady Flii
    Phenomenal Podcast
    I’ve been a part of this phenomenal sisterhood for the past 3 years and it has been life changing in countless ways. The authenticity, laughter and sometimes tears coupled with transparency creates a space where ladies can truly “just be” without judgement. I look forward to listening to Terri and Dr. Dom weekly because it’s quality time well spent. I learn, I grow, I’m compelled weekly through their wisdom, needed subject matter(s) and exuberance of love. It’s a beautiful part of my journey that I’m excited to see evolve.
  • R&B Gorilla
    A powerful podcast by powerful women 👑
    I’ve listened to literally EVERY EPISODE of this podcast! I’m a early fan, like, the original H.E.R. Space,” before the re-brand. The ladies are relatable, funny, witty, and most important, real!! I really appreciate their range of topics and the “of you blatchet,” segment of every interview. If you need a new podcast with fresh voices, look no further.
  • _Rae.j
    New fave 🩵
    Recently started listening to podcast and baybeeee when you say this is a safe space i feel it. I feel so connected with y’all and the conversations. I truly enjoy listening. Y’all are really helping me my emotions lol ❤️
  • Starlet Shelton
    Black woman & Tarot reaching
    Love this podcast but the tarot reading episode was so sinister and Godless. Wish they would steer away from that type of topics. Do not give it any light. For the hosts hopefully they can learn to discern what’s FOR the podcast and betterment of us black women. That type of talk only hold us back.
  • qshdbdbfhdhwshsdb
    Amazing Podcast

  • ashia_s
    Definitely recommend this for all my sisters!
    Truly a place where you can just BE. I come here when I need advice, insight, or to just listen and coexist in a likeminded environment that promotes wellness and growth! I have listened to this podcast over the past couple of years and find comfort every single time! Thank you ladies for all you do!

    First Time Listening
    This is my first time listening and I just listened to the recent episode and I actually enjoyed it. I have been on my own for 5 years but when i wish I would have known those things before hand but everything happens for a reason and I am slowly getting my life back on track. I can’t wait for the next episode to come out I will be definitely tuning in.
  • labelladon
    Obsessed with this podcast!
    I stumbled across these ladies podcast and fell in love . At this point, I’m just trying to play catch up on so many episodes I’ve missed . The first one I stumbled on was the topic about, gaslighting, love bombing, and red flags. I’ve learned so much and absolutely love how these two ladies put things in perspective. I had so many “wow” moments . Great listen!
  • KengelaT

  • BRBreadstick
    IF YOU ARE A BLACK GIRL THIS SHOW IS A MUST
    Every episode has me opening my journal and reflecting. The world is not always kind to black women but Dr. Dom and Terri create a safe space to process the good and the ugly. I see the positive impacts of this show in my daily life!
  • Montina LD
    Much Needed Girl Power Podcast
    I have been struggling with the decision that I have to make in my life regarding my relationship with myself in my partner he is wonderful person because I move forward closer to my goals. I see that loving me is way more important right now and I deserve the space to do that, your podcast has been very essential in helping with his decision, although still very hard.

    So rejuvenating
    I’ve so far listened to just a few episodes and I’m so glad to know there are other women out there who feel how I do. The perspective and guidance these hosts offer are relatable and realistic. Thank you for helping me get greater!!!
  • Quay Lynn
    Love this podcast
    I have been listening to this podcast for about two years now and I really enjoy the relatable and nonjudgmental conversations. I love the chemistry between the two host and how they both bring unique perspectives. Not only is the podcast fun and entertaining but it is also very informative and the speakers are always so knowledgeable about their topics. Thank you both for giving others the space to showcase their expertise on your platform. Many of your conversations have helped me navigate through my own stuff, friendships, and relationships. I myself am a LSW and I take away so much from listening.
  • AmbiitiousQueen91
    This podcast is AMAZING!!!
    I found this podcast back in September 2022 I was in a crazy headspace trying to put my life back together you ladies are amazing I love that you have created a space for the multifaceted black woman. The many topics you guys speak on from your personal perspectives just gives hope to hear you talk about where you once were and to see how far you have grown has motivated me to continue with my therapy and pressing on in this journey to love self! Keep being a beacon of light to our community and keeping it real the down to earth conversations is what makes it all so relatable.
  • Tianna Michelle G
    Best Podcast for Black Women!
    I look forward to a new episode every Friday! You ladies drop the best gems and give great advice whether it’s regarding self help, navigating relationships, or just stepping into your true identity and following your journey. Thank you for all the inspiration, motivation, funny moments & words of encouragement!
  • MommyMariah19
    Wow!
    Today is my very first time listening to you all and just listened to the episode on how to go about responding to a gas lighter and boy I wish I would have heard this last year when I was really in the midst of my relationship going through these things. Never the less I know better now and this definitely gave me some great tips to not allow anybody else to get away with doing me like that again! OK! Thanks y’all!
  • Kokobutterbeanball
    The big sisters I knew I needed
    I’m a new listener and only needed to hear ONE podcast to be sucked in! The one I started with was about friendships and learning about who is here for a reason, season or a lifetime. I’m always telling ppl that they are in others lives for a reason, season or lifetime! I didn’t know what those meant in detail until this podcast!! Lawd, Ive caught up and I can’t go my days without listening to you ladies!!!! You show is extremely motivating and keeps me on my feet realizing areas where I need to change or others in my life. Thank you for giving us black women a safe space to heal. ~Kolbi ❤️
  • natashanicole_
    Here to stay!
    I am present! I have pulled up my chair and I have my pen and notepad out honey! Lol.. I just started listening yesterday on my way to work, got off and continued listening at the gym (FYI.. I've only ever listened to music when at the gym). I love that you black, educated, knowledgeable ladies have created a space where you discuss real, intelligent topics but can slip in a curse word every now and then. I am so here for it! Thank you!
  • Jaybeansmom
    New to listening
    I just wanted to take the time out to say I am new to listening to this podcast and I have only listened to two podcasts but I love what I have heard so far. This podcast is inspirational and motivational. Continue ladies 💕💕 can’t wait to listen to all the podcasts I am so happy I came across this podcast. Anyone that is skeptical about this podcast or looking for some motivation with relatable topics give this podcast a listen.

  • briyawnnah
    Amazing
    I loved this podcast from the first episode. I just started this journey so I went back to the beginning. I've tried to implement different things I've learned here in my daily life. I didn't realize how much it's been influencing me until I found myself giving my friend advice on conflict resolution based on what I learned from that episode. Thanks Dr. Dom & T

    I’m late and I hate that I'm late to the party. I needed this episode with everything in me. Had a miscarriage earlier this year and it has been the hardest battle have had to go through. I also, have PCOS and refuse to allow it to win. I haven’t listened to many more episode but currently will. I hope you were able to get your rainbow baby, if not you WILL!
