Yeesss!! It feels so good to be back with a solo episode. I've missed this so much. In case you didn't know (and how could you not?!) I talk. Alot! I did some reflecting and figured out why I talk so much to myself and if you are healing from childhood trauma/systemic trauma, you may do this as well for a very similar reason. Also, I'm sharing my love for a book that you gotta add to your healing toolkit/resources.

**TW: This episode discusses sexual abuse/assault

In this episode of the Brown Girl Self-Care Podcast, I'm speaking with therapist and wellness expert Candyce "CE". Anderson, MS, LPC, Founder, and CEO of Revita Therapy and Wellness. We planned this conversation ahead of the Diddy debacle but conversations that center the pressing issue of trauma/harm culture in Hollywood and the pervasive nature of sexual assault are ALWAYS relevant.

Key topics:

• The focus on men’s behaviors and accountability
• The impact of societal conditioning on women's responses to trauma
• Coercive sexual assault
• The importance of self-care, intuition, and recognizing one's worth
• The critical need for men to hold each other accountable.

This episode is a must-listen for black women seeking healing, empowerment, and validation in their journey toward self-care and well-being. It is also a must-listen for MEN as well.
