Today's guest, Gabrielle Morton, is a trauma-informed licensed therapist whose challenging us to consider how we define self-preservation. As black women, we're historically known for putting everyone and everything before our own needs. Couple that with life experiences, childhood traumas and generational patterns, and you've got a whole case for booking your next therapy session. As the curator of safe spaces for Black women navigating the process of healing the relationship they have with themselves, Gabrielle helps us look at how we've looked at self-preservation in the past, what it really is vs. what it's not, and how it manifests in our bodies and relationships. We also talk about a few tools for your mental health toolbox that can help you preserve yourself during challenging moments in your life and in business.
