Session 295: A Conversation On Healthy Friendships with Devi Brown

The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.

Y’all! My debut book, Sisterhood Heals, will be out on June 27, 2023 and you can officially pre-order your copy right now at sisterhoodheals.com! This is such a huge accomplishment and I can’t wait for all of the incredible conversations I know we’re going to have once you get your copy and can check it out. 

In honor of this huge milestone, I wanted to share a very special conversation with you this week. At the end of last year, Wellness educator, Author, and Podcast Host, Devi Brown, who’s been a guest here on the podcast a few times, invited me to be a guest on her podcast, Dropping Gems. Devi didn’t know it at the time but I was struggling with edits to the book and this one conversation with her reinvigorated my spirit and gave me a whole new excitement about the material. It felt like she had seen the pages even though it wasn’t yet done. I feel like that’s how sisterhood works sometimes, you don’t always know what you need and then a sister shows up with an answer you weren’t expecting. In this conversation we chatted about setting boundaries with compassion in friendship, reciprocity in friendship, and how having difficult conversations can often bring us closer.
