Episode 2- Top Ten Dos and Don'ts of the Holidays

Navigating life as a black woman can be a beautiful experience, however, more often than not, it is exhausting and complex. For decades, the theme of a black woman's life could be defined by one word, "survival mode;" and sadly, it is still this way today. Join Asia Schmidt, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist who has over ten years of experience working in the mental health and addiction field, along with Azaria Shaw, former teacher for over eight years, real estate professional, and entrepreneur as they help you go from surviving to thriving. Each episode is filled with discussing a wide variety of topics impacting black women today, followed by self-care and self-reflection journal prompts for listeners. If you're looking to thrive instead of living life just surviving then join us in this journey together. Dear Black Woman, the podcast for healing through laughter and reflection. In this episode of the Dear Black Woman Podcast, hosts Asia Schmidt and Azaria Shaw count down their top ten "dos and don'ts of the holidays."  Credits: Music: Peter Schmidt Editing: Peter Schmidt and Elliot Shaw Art: Kerry Watson
