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.

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...

Through observation and experience, it's a known fact that men and women are not treated equally.  📌Have we over-utilized the term double standard based on our personal preferences?  📌Do men and women have different standards? 📌Should women and men want to be treated the same way?  Join us for Session 7 of UN•THERAPY as we UNTHERAPIZE  double standards, accountability, and if fishes should...

With apps like Plenty of Fish & shows like Married At First Sight, it's safe to say that technology has assisted in changing our perspectives along with the way we approach our dating life + finding love.

Should we adjust that list or cram a lot o...

The importance of Love Languages within a relationship has become quite popular over the last decade. As we exercise our knowledge of these languages, are they as significant to our growth as we have created them to be?  📌Can they make or break a relationship?  📌Have we placed accountability on others for things that we don't even exercise within our own lives?  📌How much of our mindsets a...
