Mum's True Tea w/Kendall Lasha

Join me as I discuss the emotional and psychological toll on Black women following the recent election results and how we need to Opt-Out of saving everyone else and heal from savior syndrome. We need to work hard at unraveling the encoding in our DNA that has made us the nurturers of others, learn to prioritize self-care, our mental well-being, and healing over the societal expectation to be saviors. The conversation explores the historical context of Black women's roles as caregivers and nurturers, the burden of resilience, and the importance of setting boundaries to protect mental health.   Chapters 00:00 Opting Out of the Savior Role 10:06 The Burden of Strength and Resilience 19:45 Setting Boundaries and Prioritizing Self-Care   Takeaways We are opting out of being the savior. Black women are often expected to be strong and resilient, which dismisses their struggles. The recent election results have led to feelings of hopelessness among Black women. Self-care is not just about pampering; it's about true emotional and mental well-being. Black women are dying at alarming rates due to stress and neglect of self-care. Setting boundaries is essential for mental health and well-being. The historical context of Black women's roles impacts their current mental health. It's important to recognize who supports us in our lives. We need to stop making excuses for those who don't show up for us. Prioritizing ourselves is not selfish; it's necessary.   KEEP UP WITH MUM'S TRUE TEA: WEBSITE: MumsTrueTea.com INSTAGRAM: @MumsTrueTea FACEBOOK: @MumsTrueTea TikTok: @MumsTrueTeaPodcast   THANK YOU SO 

Summary In this conversation, I discuss the painful and often overlooked issue of parental alienation, which occurs when one parent manipulates their child against the other parent after a breakup or divorce. I share examples of what parental alienation looks like and share some of my personal experiences with this dynamic, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on both the alienated parent and the child. The conversation emphasizes the importance of healing, accountability, and the need for children to have a safe space to process their emotions without being influenced by either parent. Ultimately, it calls for parents to prioritize their children's wellbeing over their own grievances.

Summary October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and In this episode I discuss the often-overlooked topic of parental abuse with my guest Alice Slaughter-Flowers who lost her sister Rosemary Pate to violence at the hands of her own son.

We will discuss the cultural stigma surrounding this issue, the blame and judgement that mothers often face when trying to share their experiences, and the diverse factors that contribute to such dynamics.
