UN•THERAPY

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes,  I need yall to help us UN•THERAPIZE what we like to call "The Ye' Effect." Those of us who follow pop culture are pretty well-informed on what "The Artist Formerly Known as Kanye West" has said or are familiar with the backlash from what he has said.  Now with all due respect to Ye', if someone feels offended by what you said, they have every rig...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes,  We need ya'll to UN•THERAPIZE something for us...  📌 How do we determine the difference between characteristics that make us who we are & characteristics that we've created through experiences that we may not want to change?  📌 Which one is truly our personality?  📌 Is there a big difference between whom God made you be and whom you've designed yourself?...

Hey UN•THEARPY Baes, Before the dawn of social media, where some people have a platform to be anything they choose, the world had a specific day assigned for us to create and become an image of someone we were not.  You guessed it, one of our country's favorite times of the year is here, HALLOWEEN.  One of the most commercially & personally celebrated holidays where most people tap into t...

UN•THERAPY Baes,  We all know adultery is a terrible act to commit upon a partner within a monogamous relationship.  However, for someone to commit adultery, they must be married first, right?  📌 Given that society is accepting lifetime partnerships, is marriage even on the table for some people?  📌 Can we truly trust someone to make a lifetime commitment to monogamous intercourse if we have adj...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes, Although it has always existed, over the last few years, society has strongly emphasized speaking things into existence.  However, after talking to Coach, I legit have some questions... 📌 Where do we draw the line between someone exercising a life full of affirmations and someone being dishonest? 📌 How much grace do we give people expressing what they seek to become in life...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes,  There aren't many people I know that go into a marriage thinking about divorce, but some approach it as if it may happen eventually. What's the big deal, though? A prenup & a postnup is just a piece of paper.  It doesn't mean I love you any less; I'm just protecting myself and my assets from future harm.  📌 Since marriage is a contract, what is one mo...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes,  Whether personal or professional, knowing what YOU have to offer increases your perceived value.  Identifying when what you have to offer is needed most may not only cause your value to appreciate but also increases your leverage.  But even though our leverage has increased: 📌Do we truly know how to negotiate what we are worth? 📌 Does fear cause us to shoot below our standa...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes,  I need ya'll help to answer some questions 👇🏽 📌 Is there a difference between a flaw and an undesirable trait?  📌 Are there some things that are complete turnoffs that make YOU want to put total distance between yourself and others? 📌 What does it look like to project your insecurities onto someone else?  📌 What "really" turns a flaw into a flag?  📌 How...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes,  ⏪ Remember a few years back when Ayesha Curry was going off about how she wanted to be "seen" and may have wanted attention from others outside of her marriage, and social media DRAGGED her?  Well, thinking back on it, maybe everyone overreacted a bit. 📌 We all seek validation in some way, shape or form, but should there be limitations?  📌 Should we seek outside...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes, Ladies, as we mature and elevate, so do the things we require when finding or desiring a potential partner.  I mean, who wants to be with someone who cannot meet their energy romantically and professionally? Nevertheless, talking to Coach, I got to thinking, if the roles were reversed, would we as women be able to match that same energy toward the affluent and ambitious men we...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes,  The love a mother has for her son is one of the most beautiful yet criticized things in our society. It almost feels like the way he treats his mom is often used as a measure for how he will treat his significant other.  Yet, if he relies on her too much, it considered a noxious trait that can become destructive within a relationship.  What’s really interesting is that we hav...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes, Let's be real...  Sometimes in the workplace + professional environments we can't always be our authentic selves.  We've all been in situations where "code switching" was needed to ensure that we meshed with the current environment.  🚨 But it's time for that to change. 🚨 Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE being our most...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes, It's been proven through watching others & even throughout our own life experiences that making good decisions can propel your life forward. We've also seen how making "bad" decisions can set you back and prolong your future. 📌 But what goes into making a good decision? 📌 How do we know the difference between a good decision & a bad one? 📌 Is it...

Hey UN•THERAPY Baes,  It seems like every few years, society gives us a new initiative or movement to be aware of & care about, but none more important than "Protect Black Women."  Now even though this should go without saying, I always wondered a few things about it like:  📌 Is there a reason we aren't protected the way we feel we should be?  📌 What goes into a man's min...

If you've ever been in the dating pool, you know that swimming around to find love is no easy thing. it's not uncommon to use non-traditional practices like Online Dating, Match Makers, Image Consultants, or even "Experts" to help your find Mr. or Mrs. Right. 📌 But can we truly put our reliance on an algorithm to help us find our soulmates? 📌 Can someone else really articulat...

🙌🏾 Listen, no matter what's going on in the world, we will always make time for the show that brought us all together... you guessed it, "Married At First Sight."  As Decision Day is approaching and we watch the season unfold, we see that some couples have created healthy ways of expressing themselves, while others have found ways to push their spouses further away through ineffec...

✨ Hey UN•THERAPY Baes,  I don't know about ya'll, but music has gotten us through some rough times. There are artists whose music feels like the soundtracks to our lives. Come to think of it, the music they made reassured us that there are more people than we know who may be experiencing the same things that we are and their songs provided temporary therapeutic relief + release to what...

We've all grown up watching Black Cult Classics with complex relationships built into them like "Baby Boy," "Menace II Society," "Poetic Justice," and "Paid In Full." But most of us are adults now, and we've realized that we probably shouldn't have been watching these movies as children.  🚨 It's not that they were "bad movies,"...

💫 Hey UN•THERAPY Baes, Listen, I know we've all told ourselves at least once in our lives that we would never do something or let a certain type of personality within our personal space; then someone comes along and offers a different perspective on the way we view the world.  📌 Does it always turn out for the good?  📌 Have you ever regret letting your guard down?  Join us for another sess...

🎧In our last session, we had an amazing #HotSeatSunday conversation with one of our favorite UN•THERAPIST, allowing us to tap into the thoughts + perspectives behind some of the theories we've been presented with in previous episodes.  ✊🏾 The conversation was so insightful, and we've seen such a great response from our UN•THERAPY BAES that we decided to do it again...but this time, we...

Our culture and upbringing have had a massive impact on how we think + perceive life. Although our personal experiences help to shape our opinions on the things we see, what happens to our views when a new concept is introduced that challenges the theories we have created? 📌Do we hold on to what we believe, or do we allow room for possible growth & maturity in those areas? Join us for another...

✨Ladies, we know you broke up with him for a reason, but maybe he's changed. We've always heard that everyone deserves a second chance, but where do we draw the line with our boundaries & what we accept?  📌How many times will we give "Mr. Wrong For Me" the chance to make it right?  📌Is the time spent waiting on it even worth the lack of peace that may come with it?  Join...

Since birth, we've all been created with a unique set of characteristics that help contribute to the beauty of this world.  ✨These individual differences are what helps us connect with some and disconnect from others.  👉🏾Although inclusion has appeared to get better over the years, we still have the right to our preferences, especially while dating. These preferences shouldn't stop us...
