S1 E3: Brittini Carter — What is in you, is gonna come out

In this week’s episode we’re joined by Brittini Carter, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and owner of Carter Therapy. With a wealth of knowledge about wellness and parenting, Brittini talks about her experiences and shares advice for parenting fatigue. Especially in light of the pandemic.

She shares with us how she sets boundaries as a mother and the conversations she has with her kids that help support her identity outside of being a mother. We also discuss community support in raising children and how parents can build external networks of support, especially why it’s a MUST for moms to develop relationships with other parents.

Brittini goes into detail about how the pandemic threw her self-care practices out of balance and how she’s worked to get them back in order. We touch on the BIPOC support groups Brittini leads and what inspired her to start them. Plus, we hear about Brittini’s views on activism and how it relates to community support. Brittini shares with us her approach to therapy with her clients and her work with making therapy accessible to the Black community and other marginalized folks.

We touch on the importance of decolonizing therapy and wellness to make it more accessible for marginalized folks. And of course, we dive into the self-criticism so many marginalized folks and mothers experience, how we can develop more self-compassion, and how to practice ahimsa (non-violence).
