  • How to Navigate Grief With Love and Intention With Marisa Renee Lee

    How to Navigate Grief With Love and Intention With Marisa Renee Lee
    Mar 27 2026
    Hey lady! We can be honest about the tenor of this year – even with personal joys – this year has an air of heaviness to it. We are collectively grieving so much and some of us are also grieving on a personal level as well. Grief is not something that we do well in this country, which is why this week Dr. Dom and Terri are excited to welcome Marisa Renee Lee, award-winning and bestselling author of Grief is Love and her book Waiting for Dawn, to discuss the levels of grief and how to navigate a challenging world with loads of self-compassion and care. Marisa shares how she has built a life around the grief that showed up in her late adolescence and has showed up in various ways despite building a high-achieving, ambitious life. She offers a grounded, authentic perspective about the levels and layers of grief and how learning how to live with it and give it space in your life can actually open up room for deeper love, deeper understanding, and a more connected relationship with life. Marisa’s journey includes profound loss and a new relationship with her body by understanding its needs after being diagnosed with chronic illness. Lady, grief is a real component of life. It is inevitable and unavoidable but knowing that there is a path through the grief and that there are tools to support the journey can make all the difference between a life of suffering and a life of self-discovery and self-fulfillment. Which path will you choose? Whatever road you take, lady, we’re walking right beside you towards our joy. Be well! Quote of the Day: “Hard times are simply a part of life, and I think we all want to know how to do them well.” – Marisa Renee Lee Today’s sponsor is VB Health, known for science-backed, third-party tested supplements made in the USA.

  • DEI is Gone. What Now? with Dr. Marissiko Wheaton-Greer

    DEI is Gone. What Now? with Dr. Marissiko Wheaton-Greer
    Mar 20 2026

    Hey lady! By now it is clear that we are living through an extreme backlash to the gains made by Black Americans, non-Black minorities, and women. The most glaring manifestation of this is the rollback of Affirmative Action and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across the country. Not only were programs built to uplift non-Whites completely eliminated but they were removed with a velocity that made many American’s head recoil from whiplash. Seemingly overnight companies united to align with the current regime’s warped ideal of what the American workplace should operate as.

    The thing is we, as Americans, have long moved past civil rights era workplace politics and practices. Black Americans have consistently demonstrated our aptitude and ability to be top contributors to the corporate workforce and that doesn’t have to stop despite this regime’s best efforts, according to Dr. Marissiko Wheaton-Greer, Assistant Vice President for People, Purpose and Policy at an affordable housing nonprofit and researcher on social identity, critical consciousness building, and leadership.

    Dr. Wheaton-Greer offers a balanced perspective about why this moment feels different and how you can navigate hostile, tenuous workplace situations. Tune in lady and have your Cultivating H.E.R. Space journal with you so you can write down a few of the scripts Dr. Wheaton-Greer offers. Her guidance will have you managing challenging scenarios with grace, dignity and the class you’ve already cultivated.

    Quote of the Day:

    "We cannot talk about DEI in broad categories. In order to dive deeply and give people the competence they need to be good colleagues and stewards of this work, we need to be specific and engage in the unique experiences of various communities and identities."

    – Dr. Marissiko Wheaton-Greer
