S29E2: The Cost of Care with Ashley McGirt-Adair

Lady! This week Terri and Dr. Dom welcome powerhouse visionary Ashley McGirt-Adair to Cultivating H.E.R. Space to broaden your awareness to additional tools and resources available to you as you travel along your healing path. Ashley is a dynamic trailblazer who listened to her inner wisdom and allowed that internal voice to guide her as she built a thriving clinical practice and foundation geared towards helping Black women afford the mental health care we so often need.

Ashley is the founder of the Therapy Fund Foundation, a nonprofit focused on eliminating barriers to mental health care in Black and historically excluded communities. She is also the author of the forthcoming book, The Cost of Healing in Silence: Navigating Racial Trauma and the Call for Culturally Responsive Care. Ashley keeps it real about the barriers that keep Black women from tending to themselves and how she found the courage to step out on faith and build the phenomenal service she’s offering to the world.

Since slavery Black Americans have experienced a litany of traumatic events and have somehow managed to survive to this present day. The issue is that until we, collectively, address those numerous traumas and all of their manifestations we will continue to just do that – survive. Ashley and her team want us to thrive and they are committed to connecting Black women with culturally attuned and responsive providers who are equipped to navigate the complex and layered issues that we face.

Lady, there are many forces in this world that are designed to weigh you down and discourage you from reaching your full potential. But, like the sea turtles making their pilgrimage to the water you, too, can make the arduous trek from being broken and in pieces to being in your power. Tune in to today’s episode for actionable steps and resources you can access right now!

Don’t forget you can also book a consultation with Dr. Dom so that you can establish your team of providers ready to help you breakthrough to your next level.

We love you for real, lady!
