Hey lady! *Cue Beyonce* All my single ladies! Well, you know the rest. This week, Dr. Dom and Terri dive into all of the reasons why being single gets a bad rap and why it’s actually something that can be celebrated.
In today’s modern dating climate women are finding themselves with autonomy and choice, which is a delicious and beautiful feeling. Even with all of that personal power, let’s not pretend that society doesn’t still place a stigma on singleness; especially if you are a woman. But, there are so many reasons why being single is the bomb and Terri and Dr. Dom want you to know all about them.
Whether you have closed up shop and are totally invested in the happiness of you and your community, or you still long for love but know that life is what you make it – there are plenty of reasons to feel excited about a life of freedom.
Terri and Dr. Dom explore the nuance that comes with being a woman who is free of bitterness because she’s accepted and embraced the gift of time she has to build a life of purpose and meaning so that she can leave a legacy of her choosing.
Did you notice the key word in this episode? Happiness is a choice and we hope this episode inspires you to choose only the best for yourself because lady – you’re worth it! Holla at us on Instagram and tell us how you maximize your fly ass single life. And, tune into the Aftershow where the dynamic duo let their hair down in the realest of ways.

Hey lady! It’s Fall and for many, it’s officially homecoming season; the season when they’ll reunite with old classmates to reminisce on the fun times of their youth, but this week Terri and Dr. Dom want to focus on a more personal homecoming, one that is universally more accessible to all.
Dr. Thema Bryant, a friend of the show and two-time previous guest, discusses the power of finding a path home to yourself on her podcast The Homecoming Podcast. She offers wisdom on all of the various ways we lose ourselves as we journey through life and provides strategies on how to cultivate the tools needed to journey through life with wholeness. Dr. Dom and Terri draw inspiration from her podcast and dive deep into the elements that make a personal homecoming something you can delve into at your own pace.
Bittersweet undertones run through homecomings because they often come from tough lessons, but the glory and self-respect that you can generate from making the decision to return to yourself is often the greatest reward.
Dr. Dom and Terri offer tips to help you usher in your personal homecoming. Whether it’s your first self-awakening or the latest chapter in an incredible story you have the tools to write the most beautiful scenes yet.
8 Ways You Can Come Home to Yourself
1. Engage in Self-Reflection: Take time for introspection through journaling or meditation. Reflecting on your thoughts and experiences helps clarify your values and desires, fostering a deeper connection with your authentic self. Research shows that expressive writing can significantly enhance self-awareness and emotional health.
2. Practice Mindfulness: Incorporate mindfulness techniques into your daily routine to cultivate presence and self-awareness. Mindfulness meditation can reduce anxiety and increase acceptance of your thoughts and feelings, promoting self-compassion.
3. Set Healthy Boundaries: Learn to say no and prioritize your own needs. Establishing boundaries is crucial for self-care and maintaining your sense of self in various relationships.
4. Nurture Your Inner Child: Engage in activities that bring you joy and creativity, reminiscent of your childhood. This process can heal past wounds and foster a sense of freedom and authenticity, allowing you to reconnect with who you truly are.
5. Build a Supportive Community: Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you. Having a network of like-minded individuals can reinforce your self-worth and provide encouragement on your journey of self-discovery.
6. Prioritize Self-Care: Make time for activities that promote your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Regular self-care practices can lead to increased self-love and help you reconnect with your desires and needs.
7. Pursue Your Passions: Identify and engage in hobbies or interests that ignite your passion. Pursuing what you love enhances your self-identity and fulfillment, allowing you to express your true self.
8. Embrace Change and Growth: Recognize that personal growth often requires stepping out of your comfort zone. Embracing change fosters resilience and helps you adapt to new aspects of yourself, ultimately leading to a stronger sense of self.
Quote of the Day:
“Homecoming is a return to authentic living that is based on truth, self-acceptance, and an aligning of action with values and purpose.”

Hey lady! You know that we love grown woman conversations here at Cultivating H.E.R. Space podcast, which is why this week Terri and Dr. Dom are delighted to welcome Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons, a leading expert in sex research and the author of Good Sex: Stories, Science, and Strategies for Sexual Liberation, to discuss why good sex can lead to a healthier nation.
What does she mean by that? You’ll just have to tune in to find out not only that, but also why putting some thought into your sexual “wishlist” and your “absolutely not” list are worthwhile endeavors for any sexually vibrant woman. Dr. Hargons offers perspective on what good sex is and why deeply meeting yourself can increase intimacy and communication with your partner or help you feel comfort and ease as you slow down your sexual activity. Whatever the reason you have for your sex life always remember that the best sex is the kind where you feel valued and respected – even if that means loving on your body is a solo activity.
So, tap in ladies and cheers to good, ahem…vibes!

Hey lady! The Fall is often a time to self-reflect and take stock of your life and choices. When doing that life review and assessment, how do you feel about yourself? As a human it’s guaranteed that you will make a mistake in life, but grown women know that mistakes are not what define you – how you handle them is what defines you.
This week Terri and Dr. Dom welcome world renowned athlete Marion Jones to Cultivating H.E.R. Space to discuss her unique life path and the lessons learned from the challenges that arose from her time both in the public eye and in prison. Marion shares her powerful testimony about how the experience of facing public scrutiny based on her choices and paying her debt to society allowed her to find the deeper meaning that can help others.
Marion offers one important lesson – your mistakes do not define you and only you are in control of your narrative. Tune in to find out the other gems she shares to help you lift the veil of shame that is keeping you from owning your victory!

Hey lady! How are you taking care of you these days? Are you ready to elevate your wellness and give your nervous system the support it needs?
This week, Emily Butts, owner of InnerGreat Lymphatic Care Practice, stops by to share how incorporating holistic healing into her self-care practice changed her entire life and redefined her purpose. Emily explains why modalities like lymphatic drainage, Pulse Electromagnetic Therapy (PEMF), neurofeedback and other techniques can help reduce inflammation, fatigue and improve the overall quality of your life. While these healing modalities may seem radical they are proving to be important remedies of dealing with the challenges that modern living offer. The question is, how can we make them more accessible to our communities? Tune in because Emily has insights that you won’t want to miss.
We all know by now that it is up to us to make the daily changes to our lifestyle to keep us upright and well. Lady, find us on Instagram and let us know what healing techniques you employ to keep you healthy and strong.

Hey lady! We love you, for real. There’s so much going on in the world right now. Everything from the election to multiple genocides on Black and Brown people to the high price on groceries. On top of that it can feel like Black women are being mistreated across the board and disrespected at levels that are often disappointing. What was it that Malcolm X. said about the most disrespected, unprotected, and neglected person in America? Yep, it’s us. But, that is not the entirety of our story – in fact it barely scratches the surface of the wonderous, beautiful, and amazing experience of being a Black woman.
This week Terri and Dr. Dom pour into each other and you with a love letter to Black women. This heart affirming, soul understanding episode is meant for the ladies who need a quick reminder that girl, you are the shit and don’t let nobody tell you different! Dr. Dom and Terri share some of their experiences being loved on, supported, and uplifted by Black women in the hopes that if ever there is a low moment in your journey to reflect on the ways that you’ve been supported by your community of Black women. Save this episode and tap in on Instagram. What’s one of your favorite memories of your sister circle?

Hey lady! Have you ever found yourself in a tense predicament where you and another person are at odds and have differing perspectives on how to find a solution? These everyday occurrences, also known as conflicts, are natural parts of life and when handled skillfully can increase your ability to relate to others and improve your self-respect.
Conflicts can range from things as simple as asking a neighbor to stop blocking your parking space to much larger issues such as how to parent a child you share. There is no right way to handle conflict, but there are ways to improve your chances of finding a peaceful resolution.
This week Dr. Dom and Terri have a framework to add to your toolkit when disagreements and troubling situations arise. Head to Patreon to grab your downloadable copy of the framework so you can review it and adapt it to your personal style. Once you understand how you can navigate conflict with this framework you’ll be in the driver’s seat of your experience and more able to meet life as it is.

Hey lady! Dr. Dom and Terri welcome Bianca Ordoñez to Cultivating H.E.R. Space to discuss a topic that affects one out of every 54 Black women in their lifetime. Bianca is a HIV awareness advocate and uses her light to discuss how contracting and living with the infection has shaped her life and allowed her to write her own narrative.
Bianca’s journey is a harrowing series of events that began with inconceivable family shame that led to her escaping sex trafficking and being diagnosed with HIV at the age of 23. She shares her unique insight on how to build a life one can be proud of despite significant challenges.
While today’s topic is serious, Bianca offers both a sobering perspective on finding your worth and hope for those who may feel that their life choices, predicated by events that may have been out of their control, do not have to define their destiny.
This is a can’t miss episode and a reminder about the importance of health in every facet of your life. Be sure to take care of yourself through it. We love you, lady!

Calling all of the foxy cowgirls to the floor! If Beyonce’ got you excited with Cowboy Carter let Cultivating H.E.R. Space keep the good times rolling by introducing you to the dynamic trio making waves in country music. Chapel Hart is a Nashville-based country group with roots in Mississippi taking the genre by storm.
The two sisters, Danica and Devynn Hart, and their cousin Trea Swindle join Terri and Dr. Dom for a lively, spunky, real conversation about the ups and downs breaking into a traditionally white, male genre. They talk about how getting their start in church gave them a solid foundation to not only keep themselves motivated, but also to keep their eyes on their own paper and run their race. This advice has taken the group far as a self-funded indie group letting their voices be heard on the America’s Got Talent stage (leading to them making it to the finals in 2022) and on the Grand Old Opry stage (where they received four standing ovations).
They drop gems about what it means to own your dreams and not let anything deter you from being as successful as you want to be. Tune in for a fun and inspiring episode!

Hey lady! We know you know you’re a baddie, but do you really know the power you hold? Pretty privilege is often discussed on social media as an ideal, but it’s an actual concept with real consequences – good or bad.
Pretty privilege is the notion that society favors people based on if and how they are perceived as conventionally attractive. Often, it can result in extra favors or treats because of your beauty, but sometimes the implication of extra favor for attractiveness can make for uncomfortable situations. After all, we want to be valued for our worthiness and merit over beauty, but being appreciated for having that je ne sais quoi doesn’t hurt either.
Terri and Dr. Dom sit down and talk about when they first realized they were beautiful, ways that they’ve experienced pretty privilege, and how they’ve maintained control in their experience of it. They offer some reflection questions for you to dive deep into your own experience of it so that you can anchor why your level of hotness is top tier no matter what anyone says!
Remember lady, true beauty does, indeed, start within. So, hold your head up high and strut through life like the Goddess you are!

Hey lady! Are you ready to step in the future? Well, even if you are not the future is here.
Artificial Intelligence, once only imagined in sci-fi movies, is now a part of daily life. Whether it’s speaking into Siri for basic information or prompting ChatGPT to write your emails and official communications, AI is here and it looks like it is here to stay.
So, is this a good thing? Dr. Dom and Terri explore their apprehensions about the technology and offer a few perspectives on the evolution of technology from the analog days until now where technology drives innovation. Still, questions linger about job security, privacy concerns, and keeping the use of data ethical.
Lady, this is going to be an ongoing conversation and we want to hear from you about your stance on AI! Find us on Instagram and let us know are you ready for the technological revolution or does the idea of AI make you feel uneasy?

Hey lady! Have you ever been gaslit and traumatized by a toxic, narcissistic so-and-so who abused your trust, violated your boundaries, and caused you to doubt yourself? Does that sentence trigger you? Well, if it does then tune in to this week’s episode so Dr. Dom and Terri can help take the sting out of those words and give you the context around what certain terms mean so you can accurately assess and process events in your life.
The Internet is a wonderful tool, but certain words and phrases can catch on and become buzzy and slowly their meaning can become distorted. This week, Terri and Dr. Dom identify terms that are trendy and provide accurate definitions and examples so that you don’t confuse lovebombing with something more benign. And, if you want to dive deeper into some of these concepts check out these previous episodes:

✓ S17E3: What Gaslighting, Red Flags, and, Manipulation Sound Like
✓ S17E4: How to Stand Your Ground and Hold Gaslighters Accountable
✓ S23E1: Trauma Bonding: Protecting Yourself From Unhealthy Relationships
Words to Use Instead:
1. Gaslighting→ Manipulating, lying
2. Toxic→ Unhealthy, difficult
3. Traumatized→ Upset, embarrassed
4. Triggered→ Activated, reminded
5. Narcissist→ Selfish, self-centered
6. Boundaries → Limit, rule, guideline
