In this episode, Shena shares a powerful live discussion on what it really means to pursue love when life feels overwhelmingly busy, especially if your schedule, past heartbreak, or emotional patterns are holding you back from meaningful connection. She breaks down the deeper reasons behind “being too busy” for love and offers three transformative mindset shifts - helping you prioritize your emotional well-being, let people in, and redefine relationships as nourishing rather than draining while sharing practical insights you can apply right away to build self-worth and healthier connections.Join me in the BGH MethodGet our free 5 step roadmap to heal from love addictionOur Sponsors:* Check out Mint Mobile: https://mintmobile.com/BGHAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, we're diving into a topic that often brings up complex emotions - recognizing when friendships might be temporary. You know those relationships that feel so intense and meaningful in the moment, but somehow don't stand the test of time? Let's talk about why that happens and why it might actually be perfectly okay.Through sharing personal stories and insights from my upcoming book 'How to Pick Partners for Love Addicts', we're exploring four key ways to understand the natural ebb and flow of friendships. Whether it's bonding over shared interests, connecting through shared trauma, building relationships in forced environments like work or school, or finding yourself in life transitions - each type of friendship serves its own beautiful purpose.This isn't about labeling friendships as "less than" because they might be temporary. Instead, we're reframing how we view these connections, understanding that not every friend is meant to be in our lives forever, and that's perfectly okay. From navigating workplace friendships to understanding how religious communities impact our connections, we're getting real about what makes relationships stick or shift.Resources mentioned in the episode:Join the BGH's Members Club: blackgirlsheal.org/membersThe 4 Step Roadmap to Heal Love Addiction: https://www.blackgirlsheal.org/roadmapReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

Why is it so difficult for some women to find and maintain healthy female friendships? Joining me today is Danielle Bayard Jackson, The Friendship Expert, to share more about this topic and to help provide actionable advice to get your friendships back on track, even if they’ve fallen off due to the pandemic. Danielle is a publicist by day and a certified friendship coach by night. She started her career as a high school English teacher for many years and was relied upon by her students to help navigate friendship issues. What she didn’t realize is that those “high school dramas” weren’t limited to high school. So often the way we approach friendship and relationships in general at a young age, follows us throughout our lives and experiences. Friendship like any other relationship requires work and nurturing but after more than a year of limited in-person interaction, it may seem daunting to reconnect. Listen as Danielle shares her tips for re-emerging as we reach the end of this pandemic and what you can be doing right now to start working on building new friendships. Remember that there could be people in your existing circle that you’d click with, you just need to give it a chance. Also, just because someone doesn’t have the capacity to spend time with you right now does not mean that they aren’t interested in friendship. Don’t let the stories you tell yourself obscure what could be an amazing relationship. If you’ve struggled in any way with finding strong female friendships, then you won’t want to miss out on everything Danielle has to share.Resources mentioned in the episode:Join the BGH's Members Club: blackgirlsheal.org/membersThe 4 Step Roadmap to Heal Love Addiction: https://www.blackgirlsheal.org/roadmapReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

When I was dating, I made a lot of mistakes related to how I presented in my intimacy disorders. This week, I'm talking about how my love avoidance showed up for me in my relationships. For me, my personal experience and how that connected to my religious education really amplified a lot of my avoidance which is also discussed. This episode will not span all of the ways love avoidance can show up in relationships as that as been discussed in previous episodes. But we hope these real experiences will help validate and give solace to the women who need to hear these stories represented. Resources mentioned in the episode:Join the BGH's Members Club: blackgirlsheal.org/membersThe 4 Step Roadmap to Heal Love Addiction: https://www.blackgirlsheal.org/roadmapReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, we're diving into a topic that often brings up complex emotions - recognizing when friendships might be temporary. You know those relationships that feel so intense and meaningful in the moment, but somehow don't stand the test of time? Let's talk about why that happens and why it might actually be perfectly okay.Through sharing personal stories and insights from my upcoming book 'How to Pick Partners for Love Addicts', we're exploring four key ways to understand the natural ebb and flow of friendships. Whether it's bonding over shared interests, connecting through shared trauma, building relationships in forced environments like work or school, or finding yourself in life transitions - each type of friendship serves its own beautiful purpose.This isn't about labeling friendships as "less than" because they might be temporary. Instead, we're reframing how we view these connections, understanding that not every friend is meant to be in our lives forever, and that's perfectly okay. From navigating workplace friendships to understanding how religious communities impact our connections, we're getting real about what makes relationships stick or shift.In this episode, we cover…03:14 Why temporary friendship exists04:11 Four signs of temporary friendships18:16 The complexity of building friendships34:26 How to navigate transitional friendships36:57 The importance of clear communication in friendships44:59 Why you should still embrace temporary friendships46:17 Upcoming book releases Resources mentioned in the episode:Grab copies of my books, How to Pick Partners for Love Addicts and No Contact Support BookListen to Episode 263: Checking the Facts When You're in ConflictListen to Episode 253: The 4 Steps of No ContactReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, we're taking a moment to celebrate YOU. Yes, you! We're shifting away from our usual conversations about red flags and relationship challenges to focus on something equally important - acknowledging just how far you've come in your healing journey.You know those moments when you catch a red flag early? When you trust your gut instead of second-guessing yourself? When you look in the mirror and actually like who you see? Those aren't small wins - they're evidence of your incredible growth, and it's time we celebrate them!Through personal stories and real-life examples, we're diving into the beautiful transformation that happens when we start recognizing our own progress. From being able to spot those red flags quicker (instead of six months down the line!), to actually trusting ourselves more than other people's opinions, to developing that genuine self-love that isn't dependent on anyone else's validation - these are all victories worth celebrating.This conversation isn't just about patting ourselves on the back - it's about acknowledging that every step forward in our healing journey matters. Whether you're just starting out or you're well along your path, there's something powerful about stopping to recognize how far you've come.In this episode, we cover…02:47 Why you should recognize your growth03:31 Embracing your wisdom05:13 How to navigate life's challenges06:30 Understanding self-knowledge08:26 How to build self-love09:42 Having faith beyond relationships19:22 The power of self-likingResources mentioned in the episode:Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode of Black Girls Heal, we explore the importance of checking the facts when feeling threatened, especially for those healing from trauma. We discuss how trauma can heighten our threat response, making it difficult to discern real threats from perceived ones. The episode delves into the skill of 'checking the facts,' a concept derived from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), outlining practical steps to take for regulating emotions and improving conflict resolution. My personal stories and examples highlight the nuances of threat perception, emotional regulation, and the impact of trauma on relationships. We also tackle the challenge of making amends if you realize you've misunderstood a situation or person. Tune in for essential tips on fostering better personal relationships and self-awareness.In this episode, we cover…01:06 Understanding trauma and threat response02:55 The skill of “Checking the Facts”04:20 Dialectical Behavior Therapy Explained07:03 Personal reflections on trauma responses18:42 Steps to check the facts30:17 Why you should challenge your assumptions44:36 How to make amends with healthy and available peopleResources mentioned in the episode:Book a 1:1 private coaching session with Shena until November 2024.Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, I talk about the power of "no contact" as a tool to finally break free from toxic relationships.You know how it goes – you finally decide to walk away, but somehow, you end up back in contact with that person who just brings you down. It's frustrating, right? Well, here's the thing: most setbacks in our healing journeys happen because we keep connections with folks who are bad for us.In the episode, I'll walk you through four key steps to make no-contact work. We'll talk about the withdrawal symptoms you might experience, both physical and emotional (because yes, this can be a rollercoaster!). I'll also share tips on setting intentions for your no-contact period and how to cut off those lingering fantasies that hold you back.In this episode, we cover…00:58 What is No-Contact?02:45 Why you should take a 90-day break03:10 Four steps to no-contact03:47 Withdrawal symptoms you might experience16:20 What it looks like to cut off all contact21:17 How to cut off lingering fantasies29:26 Support resources to start your no-contact journeyResources mentioned in the episode:Join our 90-Day No Contact Support Group to help you break your trauma bonded relationships, build a full life outside of the connection, heal related anxieties, and make space for healthy love.Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

In this episode, let’s discuss the importance of recognizing and celebrating personal growth. Reflecting on past conversations with coaching students, I explore three key signs that show how much you've evolved: pausing before reacting even when hurt, becoming open to alternative viewpoints, and feeling and validating your emotions. Alongside these insights, we discuss the impact of sharing emotions with safe individuals and re-evaluating your social circle for healthier relationships. We have been very attuned to keep our focus on our shortcomings but rarely do we allow ourselves to celebrate the progress that we’ve been making in our inner work.Tune in to learn how to acknowledge your progress, appreciate your journey, and break unhealthy patterns for a better tomorrow.In this episode, we cover…02:49 The inspiration for this episode04:00 How labels from your past are keeping you stuck from growing05:16 Why you should give yourself credit for the progress you've made06:49 Why you need to pause before reacting09:15 Are you open to seeing alternative perspectives?10:21 A tool to use when you're triggered14:43 Example of seeing the alternative perspectives in dating16:41 Example of seeing the alternative perspectives in inner work18:38 Feeling your emotions and validating them20:15 Why people *don't care* about your emotions21:14 What to do when you don't have safe people around youResources mentioned in the episode:Listen to Episode 208: How to Make Adult Female Friendships with Danielle Bayard JacksonReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

If you’ve missed red flags in a relationship, it’s completely and totally okay. There is no shame in having missed the signs and suddenly realizing that they are there. Which is why I’m sharing what to keep in mind when you miss red flags. Lately, I’ve seen a lot of chatter about women starting to heal and then suddenly seeing the signs of a bad relationship that they’d previously missed. For so many women this noticing leads to feelings of shame and guilt that they didn’t recognize the signs sooner. Stop right there. Instead of heading down the shame spiral, take a moment and be kind to yourself. So you didn’t recognize those signs right off. You do now and that’s what’s important. Be kind, compassionate, and loving to yourself so that you can finally break the cycle. I also want you to know that there is nothing wrong with you. You are not what is broken. Even if you’ve chosen the same type of relationship over and over again, it’s not your fault that you’re being mistreated. Lastly, no matter how long you’ve been in the relationship or where you’re at in life, you have the right to choose how to respond. It doesn’t matter if you’re 10 minutes, 10 days, or 10 years into it, you can change your future by making a new choice. You’re on the path to healing and growth because you see the red flags. What choice will you make now that you know? In this episode: [00:35] Welcome back loved ones![02:22] Have you ever felt regret or shame for missing red flags in relationships? [03:22] When you do notice those red flags, be kind, compassionate, and loving to yourself. [04:26] Do you know what being kind to yourself means? [07:28] I want you to do something different than you've ever done before. [09:36] There is nothing wrong with you.[13:06] Don’t mistake self-accountability and taking ownership with self-deprecation.[13:38] No matter where you are or how long things have been happening, you get to choose how to respond. [15:27] As soon as you decide that you’re ready to get out, that’s all you need.Links & Resources: Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

It’s time to give yourself a pat on the back. One of the things we as women, but especially Black women, don’t do often enough is recognize when we’ve made progress. This is why I’m sharing three ways to know that you’ve grown and are healthier. The reason I decided it was time for this type of episode was because of a conversation I had with one of my coaching students. We were talking about some things going on in her life and she kept prefacing her comments with, “I’m love avoidant…” or “I’m trying to be less love avoidant…” As she was talking I had to stop her and point out that she isn’t love avoidant anymore. She’d made huge progress and was actually approaching various situations in completely new ways and had really stepped away from being love avoidant. The problem was, she couldn’t see it. She didn’t recognize her growth for what it was and continued to see herself as the person she was when she first started her work. Which is why you need to do the work, but then recognize it when you’ve grown. If you’ve started pausing before you react, been more open to alternative viewpoints, and have started feeling your emotions, then you’ve grown. Listen in to hear more and then take a moment to celebrate your growth and give yourself a pat on the back. Even if you’ve only fully stepped into one of these areas, you are on the path to healing and you need to celebrate your milestones. I’m giving you that permission right now! In this episode: [00:51] It’s so important to give yourself credit and recognize that you’ve grown. Learn why![01:27] Why I’m sharing this topic. [04:54] Learn three signs that you have grown and get ready to celebrate them.[06:06] Do you pause before you react? Then you’ve grown![08:41] Have you been more open to seeing alternative viewpoints in a conversation? [11:39] Asking questions and being curious is very helpful in relationships. [13:19] You have a choice when you ask the phrase, “Is that true?” in a conversation. [16:07] Another alternative is acknowledging when you go into fantasy mode while dating. [19:41] Choose the meaning you attach to your emotions and feelings. [20:16] The third sign you’ve grown is that you’re able to feel your emotions and validate them.[22:01] One bonus sign is that you share your emotions with people who are safe. [25:34] Pat yourself on the back and celebrate your growth. Links & Resources: Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

I’m sharing these tips for anyone who is a professional healer. Those of you who are therapists, coaches, crystal workers, healers of all sorts, listen in. But, if you are the sage of your family, perhaps a priest or pastor, or maybe a teacher who hears the burdens of your students, then this is for you as well. As healers, we need to be sure to avoid codependency. What does that mean exactly? As a whole, it means not making your client or family member or student’s journey about you. You cannot superimpose your issues onto their healing. The first way to avoid codependency is by not arguing with people who aren’t ready for transformation. You cannot push people toward healing. They will walk the path toward healing in their own time and you badgering them into it will not make them go any faster. When people share their feelings with you, stop, take a moment, and then ask them what they need from you. Rather than listening and then immediately trying to fix the problem, see what they’re looking to gain by confiding in you first. Also don’t personalize the other person’s progress. Their wins and losses are not reflective of your involvement in their life. It’s their healing journey, not yours so their progress has nothing to do with you. Listen in to hear all four ways plus a little bonus. We all have our own issues to deal with which is why healers also need to have their own healer to go to. Just make sure that you don’t use your relationship with your clients to work on your own baggage. In this episode: [00:34] Being a healer is a privilege in someone’s life no matter if it’s in a personal or professional capacity. [02:27] If you are a healer, it’s important that you don’t expect more from the relationship than it is. [05:38] You do not argue with people who are not ready for transformation. [07:29] This looks like you, making their journey about you. Learn more. [09:56] When people are sharing their feelings with you, you need to pause and ask them what they need from you. [12:30] Don’t personalize your client’s progress. [15:20] Our emotions are so layered and also so simple. [17:52] Stop over-giving, which is not the same as over-delivering. [20:12] If you truly believe in this person, then step out of the way. [22:59] I personally have struggled with over-giving as a coach even though I perfected it as a therapist. [27:01] No matter how hard someone pushes you, you’ll complete things in your own time and space. The same is true with your clients. [30:54] Are you talking with your therapist or coach about your own personal triggers? [32:37] We all have places where we need to learn and grow. [33:05] Why you need to stay focused on your own life. [36:14] As a healer you cannot be possessive or jealous. You don’t need to be someone’s everything. [38:17] Learn how to just say no. Space is okay.[41:26] If you’re a healer, more is not always better. [43:53] How I’m modeling this. Links & Resources:  The Four Agreements by Don Miguel RuizReady to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

It’s that time again. It’s time for a refresher on what it means to be a healed and loved woman as developed in our three part framework. Listen in to hear the framework again and what you need to do to move from love addiction, avoidance, or anorexia to being a healed and loved woman. I’m starting it all off with love addiction. So many women are stuck in a cycle of love addiction and aren’t sure how to get out of it. Oftentimes we think of sex addiction as something separate but it’s really another facet of being addicted to love. It’s just manifested in the physical. When you’re love avoidant you’re perfectly happy to just relax and keep yourself away from love. Many times wives and mothers hide love avoidance through the actions of taking care of others, but you still need love. Love anorexia is a short-lived stage, but it’s one that is prolonged when you’re not balanced. Love anorexia or love deprivation results in women living in a fantasy world. Usually this disorder is triggered by a bad relationship and then swearing off love, but when you live a balanced life you no longer need dramatic swings. Intimacy disorders are complex, but with the right guidance you can leave them behind and live a balanced and fulfilled life. Listen in to hear more. Which of these do you identify with? In this episode: [00:34] Welcome back! Get ready to refresh your knowledge on the Healed & Loved Woman framework. [03:25] Learn more about the three intimacy disorders that I discuss on this podcast. [06:37] The signs of being a love addict. [08:32] Ways sex is used to create a deeper connection but it doesn’t necessarily work. [11:32] Signs that you may struggle with love avoidance. [14:45] Personal attributes you may have when you’re love avoidant. [17:35] Love avoidant women want nothing more than to just relax. [18:14] Do you have love anorexia? [21:56] Love deprived ladies will often build lives built on fantasies. [23:36] How did the term “love anorexia” come about? [26:57] Join our From Avoidant to Available program.[28:33] The swings that love avoidant and love anorexic women will see in their lives. [30:57] A ring does nothing for your internal beliefs. Neither does losing weight or other measures.[31:57] What it looks like when you become a healed and loved woman.[33:15] Learn about balance in your relationships. [35:48] You can like someone without having to be with them. [37:04] What boundaries really should mean and how they should be presented. [38:11] The benefits of being love available.[41:59] The traits of a love available woman. [44:29] What it looks like when you’re living in your love worthiness. [48:01] When you are active in your love worthiness you show up for opportunities to find love.Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

I’m back! It’s been a little over a month since I dropped a podcast episode and I've taken the time to do some deep soul searching. Listen in to hear all the things I’ve learned about myself both professionally and personally and what that means for you and the future of Black Girls Heal.Probably the most important part of my hiatus was self-assessing my ADHD. I’ve spent years wondering whether or not I have ADHD. Every time I hear someone talk about the symptoms or describe their lives, I immediately think that they’re talking about my life. So, when one of my business mentors released a podcast episode describing their journey with ADHD, I decided it was time. I took several self-assessments and they all told the story of my ADHD. I then made an appointment with a psychiatrist to formalize my diagnosis and to be prescribed medication. My doctor agreed that I do indeed have ADHD, specifically inattentive ADHD, but unfortunately I cannot take any medication at this time. Now I’m looking for ways to treat this in a naturopathic way, but my goal is to elevate my overall health so that I can, someday soon, be placed on medications to help me with my activities of daily living. But that’s not all. This hiatus was a necessity for my life and business. Listen in to hear all about my revelations and what I focused on during the hiatus. I’m feeling better than ever and I cannot wait to get back into the swing of things and help women, specifically Black women, to heal.  In this episode: [00:34] Welcome back to the Black Girls Heal podcast![02:15] I took this time to go through the Recovery School curriculum. [03:26] It was also a time to self-assess for ADHD and get clear on what I’m manifesting.[05:08] Self-care was a huge focus for me during the hiatus as was personal development. [06:08] I sought clarity around how I help women publicly and privately. [07:57] I’ve suspected for several years that I qualified for the inattention version of ADHD, so I decided it was time to dig deeper. [11:52] How I approached my self-assessment and treatment. [14:09] The things I checked off as it applies to inattentive ADHD. [18:57] After all this work, I’m not able to take ADHD medication. [23:04] Why I want to be able to take medication in addition to natural therapies. [26:54] I do not want to see black people continue to struggle with their mental health when they need more than therapy, yoga, or prayer. [29:00] Stepping into my feminine energy has helped heal broken areas of my life. [32:00] I’m planning to head out to New York because travel is great for my soul, especially because my trips allow me to connect with students. [34:30] I’ve started dropping my excuses around exercise as self-care. [36:55] Be careful about the things that you say you’ll never participate in. [38:15] The last few things I focused on during the hiatus revolved around the business. [40:26] I’ve been wanting to start a YouTube channel for a long time, and I’m ready to do it, but in a different format. [42:30] I am launching a planner. Listen to learn what this planner is built to do for women everywhere. [44:42] I’m revealing the name of the new business and who this planner is for. [46:32] How I used the hiatus to confront and overcome my own impostor syndrome. [48:17] Stay tuned for all of these updates. Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

Something I see a lot with the women that I serve is this stressful and conflicting scenario of hearing the phrase “you deserve someone better”. This is a phrase that is commonly used when someone, particularly a romantic partner, seeks to cut ties with us.  In today’s episode, I’m sharing helpful and encouraging advice about finding the message within that particular message. I share 3 messages that you should know when you hear phrases such as “you deserve someone better,” or “it’s not you, it’s me”. I discuss why accepting this phrase stems from a low sense of self-worth, and a one-sided negotiation that only happens within yourself. It can be easy to personalize and internalize this message. And my hopes with today’s episode is that I provide a new perspective to this roller coaster of a scenario. This is a common situation many of us find ourselves in at one point or another. So listen to this episode as many times as you need, share it with a friend or family member, and take the messages that resonate with you.Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

Personally speaking, my experience with the 12-step philosophy for sex and love addicts was so healing and helpful.

I share the transformations I experienced and the inspirations I’ve walked away with, allowing me to infuse a lot of the teachings and filling the gaps that needed to be filled in my work. I hope this episode will give you more insight into my experience with sex and love addicts anonymous.

One of the most common questions I get from my clients as we start working together is “how do I know when this is all going to be over?” The truth is many of my clients are dealing with terrible, horrific, and painful stuff that they don’t want to deal with anymore. In today’s episode, I share the answer that I’ll give to you if you find yourself asking the same question. It’s not the prettiest answer, but it’s the best answer I have for you. I also share some smaller ways of noticing the real impact happening in your life. Healing is not black and white, and the idea of never having any issues or disappointments in your relationships, bank account, and other aspects of your life is unrealistic. It is my hope that the 3 different steps I share with you will help you notice just how far you’ve come and are continuing to go with your healing process.  Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

This week, we’re finishing up our series on mistakes that I’ve made in my intimacy disorders and my relationship history. In this episode, I’m sharing the 3 mistakes that I’ve made as a love avoidant in my committed partnerships, including my marriage. Love avoidance is the persistent act of putting up walls with loved ones, as if we were holding up an invisible shield. Some of us loudly declare our love avoidance by announcing that we have a hard time trusting people. Some of us might hide our voices well, but no one really gets to know the real us. Although I’ve been more of a love addict in my past, where I overcompensated and made myself more emotionally available, what ended up happening was I fueled my love addictive behaviors. From learning how to access my feelings to involving my partner into my every day life, this episode will uncover my mistakes in an attempt to help others identify the core lack of skills of knowing how to be truly intimate with people and partners. Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

So many of the teachings that I share on this podcast are targeted situations for single women. This week, I’m talking about how intimacy disorders, particularly love addiction, show up in committed relationships. This episode will define what being a love addict means as I share how my love addiction shows up in the forms of seeking constant verbal affirmation, making myself available to becoming who my committed partners wanted me to be, and my over-commitment to “fixing it,” even if they were red flags. These 3 mistakes that I’ve made as a love addict come from my personal experience, strength, and understanding. And I’m sharing them in the hopes of helping others find resilience, community, and comradery with those who share the same experience. Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?

When I was dating, I made a lot of mistakes related to how I presented in my intimacy disorders. This week, I'm talking about how my love avoidance showed up for me in my relationships. For me, my personal experience and how that connected to my religious education really amplified a lot of my avoidance which is also discussed. This episode will not span all of the ways love avoidance can show up in relationships as that as been discussed in previous episodes. But we hope these real experiences will help validate and give solace to the women who need to hear these stories represented. Ready to heal your Love Addiction & Love Avoidance?
