How to care for yourself when caring for someone struggling with their mental health?

    What do you do when your cup is empty, and you have nothing left to pour? Dr. Dom and Terri offer real talk and real tools to help you navigate challenging times with loved ones.

But, for the days when the laundry is piling up, the bills are due, the internal monologue is putting you through the ringer, the deep pain within is spilling out, you’re sick, or you’re just tired it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and like you’re getting it all wrong. Fear not, Terri and Dr. Dom offer ten truth bombs to help you keep everything in perspective as you get up and figure it out – like you always do!

    S27E1: 7 Things to Stop Apologizing For
    Jul 4 2025
    Hey lady! Can you feel the transformation in the air? It’s all around us and the energy is electric, which is why Dr. Dom and Terri stop by this week with thoughts on the ways you can strengthen your inner resources and stop apologizing for things you don’t have any business apologizing for thusly transforming yourself from someone who shrinks to someone who shines. We know many of you are like us, recovering people pleasers feeling your way through life as whole, embodied people. That’s why Terri and Dr. Dom want you to feel more comfortable taking up more space and not feel a way about it.

    The dynamic duo offer seven scenarios where it’s ok to stand on business and not apologize in this week’s episode and talk through their strategies for building the muscle to be resolute in your position. But, the gems don’t stop there. Join us in Patreon (link below) and get the details on the alternatives you can say instead of saying sorry. Lady, you’re building a toolkit that’ll help you rise from someone who goes along to get along to being in the driver’s seat of her life with style, grace and class. Drop us a comment in the Aftershow and let us know any additional tips you would add to the list!

    Quote of the Day:
    “We must remember that an apology isn’t an apology unless it’s meaningful.”
