© 2024 Therapy, Not Therapy Podcast
Description
Therapy, Not Therapy is a podcast by three SisterFriends - EnerJi, Che, and Rochelle. Inspired by their ongoing group chat that serves as a safe place where they can create space for themselves and each other as Black and Brown adults and Creatives trying to make it in this life. So many of us need a place to process and could definitely benefit from engaging in regular therapy sessions with a licensed therapist, but for many reasons that support is not always available to us. This is why the “group chat” has become such an essential and sacred space for many to be our true and authentic selves - for better or for worse - without judgement or negativity. From the #GroupChat to the studio, join EnerJi, Che, and Rochelle every week for some Therapy, Not Therapy. We’re not licensed therapists but we’re here to help discuss, unpack, process and deal with “all the things”... So can we talk about it?? Produced and brought to you on the MPN Podcast Network by Mr. Al Pete and The MPN Network.

This week we’re talking about HAIR! Specifically “Black Hair” and the layers and complexities that encompass living with hair that doesn’t fit the imposed Euro-centric, idealistic standards of naturally silky, fine, straightness.The fact that nearly every Black or Brown person has had to endure some sort of “Hair Journey” in their life is a testament to how interwoven societal pressures and prejudices have been ingrained into our psyches. From hot combs and creamy crack, to embracing our natu...
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” - Wayne DyerWe’ve all been through times and periods in our lives when it feels like we just have to keep taking one loss, failure, or disappointment after the other. We deal with the loss of jobs, friends, loved ones, situations and sometimes it feels like we can’t catch a break. So when do we decide it’s best to give ourselves a break and let go? How does our perspective turn losses into lessons, from resistance into...
Some days all you can do is your best, chile. The Ladies are back (again!) and talking about doing your best no matter what life throws at you. Recognizing that your best can look different day to day or moment to moment - it’s important to be kind to yourself, give yourself grace, and honor the space you’re in while employing the life lessons you’ve learned along the way (and remembering to give yourself a break if you don’t get it right every time). #SoCanWeTalkAboutIt•.•.•🎙#TNTPodJax ...
Stress - it’s the absolute GHETTO!! It’s also a part of life and not going anywhere - but how do we handle it? This week we take on the topic of stress and discuss how to manage and navigate the chaos that she can bring. Sometimes she’s here to push us to the next level, other times she’s ravaging our bodies in the most alarming ways. Chelle had to join us virtually this week because her stress decided to rear her ratchet head by LITERALLY manifesting on her skin. Send her love @See_Chelle86!...

“Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can’t do it.

Each of us has a unique, individualized journey to realizing the fullness of our gifts. It’s only by weeding through the...

There was a lot to unpack and discuss this week at the TNT table - and while the Ladies typically steer away from discussing pop culture directly, it was hard to discuss anything besides the obvious. After a very long year and an election process that seemed even longer, a new administration has been named. For many of us it feels like we can take a full, deep breath for the first time in four years. For Black Women, even more specifically, it feels amazing to be represented to this magnitude...
