Dr. Joy Harden Bradford believes in the radical healing power of sisterhood—and she’s built a whole empire around it.

In this episode, our Head Honey, Felicia Pride, sits down with the award-winning psychologist and founder of Therapy for Black Girls to talk about the movement Dr. Joy sparked to make mental health more accessible for Black women. She opens up about her own therapy journey, how she balances being a media founder and licensed therapist, and the transformative joy of sisterhood.

They also get into:

• The origins of Therapy for Black Girls (and how a blog became a movement)
• Why your therapist should feel like a good fit
• Black women’s relationship to vulnerability, boundaries, and taking care of ourselves
• What it means to practice pleasure, rest, and self-compassion

And of course, Dr. Joy shares her deepest desires, what’s giving her pleasure these days (spoiler: snowballs!), and how she’s expanding her work with in-person events and a new Patreon community.

Have you ever thought about working with a dating coach? What if that decision didn’t just impact your love life but also changed how you show up for yourself?

In this soul-shifting solo episode, Head Honey Felicia Pride opens up about what inspired her—at 45—to hire a dating coach. From confronting deep-rooted childhood wounds to rethinking what it means to be “too accessible,” Felicia shares her transformative experience with raw honesty, relatable lessons, and her signature Honey flair.

This adventure started with a scroll on Instagram… and led to a year-long program that’s changing her life far beyond the dating apps. Felicia dives into the emotional work of asking for help, the power of being “inconvenient,” and the dating revelations that are reshaping her sense of self. Plus, she dishes on how coaching compares to matchmaking, her boundaries glow-up, and what she’s finally ready to ask for in love and beyond.

Honeys, did you catch that viral TikTok of the 39-year-old who dropped $10K on a dating coach and got engaged within a year? Whether you were cheering her on or giving her the side-eye, one thing’s clear: more Black women are investing in intentional partnership and choosing themselves first. Read the story here

And if you want support in your own dating or healing journey? This is the episode for you. You’ll walk away inspired to get the help you need, feel your feelings, and maybe even smile at that cutie in the cereal aisle.

Have you signed up for YES, HONEY yet? No? What are you waiting for?! It’s a sweet space for Honeys to talk about everything and anything, from culture to career!

We’ll laugh. We’ll go deep. Hell, we might even cry!

But that’s what this space is for—for us to show up as exactly who we are, unapologetically.

On this episode of IT’S GOOD OVER HERE Felicia chats with actress, writer, producer, and voiceover queen Reagan Gomez, who’s been in the game since her teen years and is now living life on her own terms. From being a beloved TV daughter in the ’90s to carving out space in new media, Reagan’s evolution is a masterclass in staying grounded, choosing softness, and protecting your joy.

She opens up about letting go of grind culture, parenting through presence, building online community before it was cool, and what it really looks like to embrace change after 40. This conversation is a reminder that we don’t have to earn ease — we deserve it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Life beyond the spotlight: what growth looks like off-camera
• Choosing pleasure, rest, and creativity over burnout
• How motherhood and mental health shifted her priorities
• Building community and monetizing authenticity online
• What she’s still dreaming about, and why now is just the beginning
