Ep 16: Together But Not Together: Rising Stress, Domestic Violence & Why Limiting Gun Access Matters

This week on Life More Abundantly, Drs. Eboni Haynes and Tynisha Camae Drennon hold space for what’s been heavy - an alarming wave of Black women making headlines after allegedly being killed by intimate partners. They unpack how domestic violence, gun access, stress, mental health, and public pressure can collide, and why staying connected, noticing behavior changes, and trusting your intuition can be lifesaving.Then, they shift into “Blackly Black Black History” with a powerful theme: access - highlighting Charlotte E. Ray (the first Black woman admitted to the D.C. bar), the founding of the UNCF, and the legacy of Coretta Scott King.In honor of Stress Awareness Month, the conversation gets practical: how stress shows up in the body, why Black women often underreport burnout, and real tools for coping - boundaries, sleep rituals, movement, therapy, faith, and (when needed) medication.And for this week’s Herbal Tea, the doctors discuss church culture and “pulpit frustrations,” plus a trending relationship question sparked by Keke Palmer: can you be committed… while living separately?Tune in, share with someone you love, and don’t forget to subscribe - because Life More Abundantly After Dark is coming when we hit the 100 subscriber goal!Important Websites: National Coalition Against Domestic Violence: www.ncadv.orgNational Domesticj Violence Hotline: (800) 799-SAFE (7233)National Domestic Violence Text Line: Text "START" to 88788United Negro College Fund: https://www.uncf.org/Thurgood Marshall College Fund: https://tmcf.org/
