Welcome back to another episode of "We Are Her Village: Healing, Empowering, and Radiating." Join hosts Yaya and Jarii as they dive into a heartfelt conversation about the complexities of womanhood, emotional wellness, and the importance of collective healing. In this episode, we start with a grounding deep-breathing exercise to help us all reset and release any built-up tension. We then share personal experiences about the emotional rollercoaster of the past week, highlighting the impact of PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) on our lives. As we continue, we discuss the profound topic of grief and how it shapes us. Yaya opens up about her journey through grief after losing her father at a young age, emphasizing the importance of therapy and the acceptance phase she reached after 20 years. Jarii shares her perspective on grieving the loss of her parents and how it has influenced her approach to motherhood. We also touch on postpartum depression and anxiety, shedding light on how these conditions can persist for years and affect a mother's life. The episode highlights the significance of giving grace to women going through postpartum challenges and the necessity of seeking therapy. Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of living with loss rather than getting over it and how grief affects every aspect of our lives. We hope this discussion brings comfort and understanding to our listeners who may be navigating similar emotional landscapes. Join us as we explore these deep, personal topics and remind ourselves of the strength and resilience that lies within our village. And remember, as always, #GoToTherapy. Tune in and be a part of our journey towards healing, empowerment, and radiance.
