Description

#230: We’ve heard the term “girl’s girl” before and understand what in means in theory to support other women. But what does it actually look like putting it to practice?

Today I have the pleasure of sitting down Dr. Joy Harden Bradford. Dr. Joy is a licensed psychologist and the host of the award-winning podcast Therapy for Black Girls. We have an in-depth conversation on sisterhood, why community is vital for our well-being, and how to create meaningful connections with other women in our lives.

We Also Talk About…

  • What inspired Dr. Joy to become a licensed psychologist and create Therapy for Black Girls
  • Why female friendships are beneficial to our health
  • The differences between friendship, community, and sisterhood and why they aren’t interchangeable
  • High-maintenance vs. Maintenance friends and the role of reciprocity
  • How attachment styles shows up in friendships
  • The benefits of intergenerational friendships
  • Normalizing therapy and exploring different types of therapeutic modalities
