Silence The Shame Podcast

On this week's episode of The Silence the Shame Podcast, our host, L.ife, sits down with Author and Founder of Black Girl Perfect, Tameka Anderson, to discuss how the “Strong Black Woman” trope impacts your mental health physical health and how to find self-love through self-acceptance. Some noteworthy “gems” from this episode: 1. The strongest thing you can do is ask for help. We think asking for help is a weakness, but it takes a lot to muster up the courage to ask others to help support you. 2. Suggested Exercise: Sit with sadness – When you are feeling sad, ask yourself “what are you [sadness] here to teach me?” 3. Self-love starts with self-acceptance. You must practice being okay with everything about yourself, inside and out; that is how you increase your self-love.
