Therapy, Not Therapy Podcast

Therapy, Not Therapy is a podcast by three SisterFriends - EnerJi, Che, and Rochelle. Inspired by their ongoing group chat that serves as a safe place where they can create space for themselves and each other as Black and Brown adults and Creatives trying to make it in this life. So many of us need a place to process and could definitely benefit from engaging in regular therapy sessions with a licensed therapist, but for many reasons that support is not always available to us. This is why the “group chat” has become such an essential and sacred space for many to be our true and authentic selves - for better or for worse - without judgement or negativity. From the #GroupChat to the studio, join EnerJi, Che, and Rochelle every week for some Therapy, Not Therapy. We’re not licensed therapists but we’re here to help discuss, unpack, process and deal with “all the things”... So can we talk about it?? Produced and brought to you on the MPN Podcast Network by Mr. Al Pete and The MPN Network.

Episode 3.6 - “Alexa, Play ‘Don’t Touch My Hair’”

July 12, 2021 • EnerJi, Che, Chelle • Season 3 • Episode 6

This week we’re talking about HAIR! Specifically “Black Hair” and the layers and complexities that encompass living with hair that doesn’t fit the imposed Euro-centric, idealistic standards of naturally silky, fine, straightness.

The fact that nearly every Black or Brown person has had to endure some sort of “Hair Journey” in their life is a testament to how interwoven societal pressures and prejudices have been ingrained into our psyches. From hot combs and creamy crack, to embracing our natural hair patterns and grades, and incorporating protective styles so we can (safely) rock our 48 piece wigs - we’re getting to the root of our Crowns and unpacking it all - one bundle at a time.

#SoCanWeTalkAboutIt

Disclaimer: We had a VERY SPECIAL GUEST with us in the studio this week so please don’t mind all the coos and gurgles and prepare for CUTENESS OVERLOAD as we welcomed Baby Aura to the show for the FIRST TIME on the OUTSIDE of Che’s womb!
