In this powerful and heart-opening episode, we welcome Roshonda Blackmon, speaker, podcaster, and safe-space creator, for her first appearance on the podcast (though you may recognize her from previous Together We F.E.E.L. panels). Roshonda’s mission is clear: to empower women to express their truth, heal emotionally, and live unapologetically.

We dive deep into conversations about faith and mental health, how emotional journaling can transform your self-awareness, and why finding your voice is critical to personal and collective change. Roshonda breaks down the stigma around therapy in faith-based communities, shares practical emotional wellness practices, and reminds us that vulnerability is a superpower, not a weakness.

From stuffing emotions to rising in her power, Roshonda’s story is one of healing, awakening, and fierce encouragement. Through her work on Matters of the Heart and The Girlfriend’s GIRL-FRIEND, she continues to be a light for women everywhere.

 Takeaways:

• How to start emotional journaling (and why it matters)

• Letting go of emotional suppression and embracing healthy expression

• The intersection of faith and therapy

• Why your voice is your most powerful tool

• How to build or find safe spaces for healing and sisterhood

 Journal Prompt:
Write down one feeling you're experiencing today and one thing you're grateful for. Let them sit side by side. You can feel both deeply.

 Tune in and get ready to feel seen, heard, and empowered.
