Ask Dr. Joy: January Jumpstart Edition

We’ve had a beautiful month of January Jumpstart episodes. We chatted with Yolo Akili about building community, with Attorney Aimee Griffin about cementing our legacy through estate planning, and much more. But what better way to close out the series than by hearing directly from you, our community?

Today, we’re diving into two thoughtful questions, and I’m here to share insights that may connect with many of you.

The first is about cleanliness—what happens when you didn’t grow up in a tidy household and now feel shame around organizing and keeping your space clean?

The second is about leveling up—how do you manage the frustration of wanting to grow each year but feeling like you’re falling short?

If you’ve got a question, we’d love to hear it. Drop us a voice note at memo.fm/therapyforblackgirls and let us know what’s on your mind. We just might answer your question on the podcast!
