Let’s be honest, the word “trauma” is overused, the phrase “it is what it is” is over glorified, and “the struggle” is romanticized. Which brings about the question and topic of this weeks episode, as a community, are we just coping and surviving? Grab your glass and wine with us as we explore coping, surviving, and thriving. From their true definitions to when to use which mode, how to have a thriving mindset, saying “no”, the rejection of the Black superwoman myth, and more! Join us on the couch as we gently scratch the surface of this complex and not often talked about topic.
