The Vulnerable Room ™: Recent Episodes
Dee W
The show that discusses the highs and lows of adulting. This is a safe space where you can remove the mask you wear on a daily and be free.✨
Affirmations are positive phrases that can help build confidence and self-esteem and help you cope with negative thoughts.
They can also help you attract positive things into your life.
Sometimes we recite affirmations daily but do you truly believe what you’re saying?
Join me and my special guest, Vena, to discuss the purpose of affirmations.
Vena J. is a dynamic curator, facilitator, and host, dedicated to amplifying the visions and voices of Black creatives and artists. With a talent for transforming spaces, she excels at engaging audiences with Black artists, creatives, and influencers showcased through her role as the creator and host of The Konfession Korner Podcast.

Common sense is prevalent for individuals.
But quickly we’ve learned that it’s not.
Emotional intelligence works the same way! Some people may be in tune with emotions, whereas others lack it.

We often hear the word 'healing,' but we rarely explore its true meaning. The things or people we are trying to heal from may fade from our immediate thoughts for months or even years. However, a simple trigger like a song or a scent can instantly transport us back to the place we are trying to heal from. My special guest, Dr. Asha G. - "Shespeakstherapy", joined me for this insightful yet REAL conversation. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board-Approved Supervisor, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and certified in Trauma-Informed Leadership.

Be who you are, for your PRIDE!” 🏳️🌈Happy Pride Month to my listeners of the LGBTQ community! In episode 2, I had the opportunity to sit down with Tinaya and Zeus to discuss the highs and lows of being a part of their community. This is yet another topic that folks tend to tip-toe around but I appreciate them both for shedding light and educating me on this topic. Coming out to family and friends may be so hard to do. However, I would like to give them their flowers for bravery!💐I hope this episode creates a sense of open-mindedness and assists with those struggling with acceptance.
And just like that I’m back with Season 3!(with some visuals too🤭)As you may know, we’re on an ongoing self-care and healing journey. We’ve all been down bad and had to find healthy ways to cope with the curveballs life throws our way.
We even had to move differently in order to retrieve better results. Personally, I had to start by relearning standards and non-negotiables in order to set the precedent for the way I want to be treated. I figured Tiffany Celeste would be the perfect guest for this episode! She is a content creator and she helps women practice real self-care and wellness. I hope you enjoy this episode just as much as I did.

We’ll discuss the importance of self-actualization and the personal journey that includes healing and growth.

Often we hear the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". From social media, advertisements, and even in the medical field, beauty is seen through one lens which can make it difficult for women embracing their melanin, curves, or natural hair . In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chey to discuss her journey into aesthetics as a Nurse Practitioner and how she plans on changing the narrative. She also provides educational gems for appropriate skincare. You can see the actual episode via YouTube!! Tap in !!
