When a woman is on a mission to bring all of her dreams to fruition, she is unstoppable. But often, she has to set aside her personal ambitions when her family, specifically her children, need her. Her dreams become deferred; however, it's usually for a finite time. When those children are almost out of the door and on their way to the next phase of their own independent lives, she dusts off her list and begins to tackle everything on it with great fervor.

Weight gain or weight loss, pregnancies, age and time, can introduce changes to her body, which in turn affect the clothing she purchases, how she styles herself and how the selected clothing drapes her body. These factors can contribute to her confidence level.

In my view, seeking therapy is not as stigmatized as it once was. People are more willing to seek help when they're unable to manage their everyday existence on their own. Therapy is not only for those who have experienced trauma in their lives, but it is also for those who experience any of life's challenges and need help to manage them. Moms, if you're tired of exerting energy and cleaning your house, get a housekeeper. If you're tired of cooking every damn day, order take out. If you've given up all of the things you enjoy, don't do it anymore. If your career no longer serves you well, change it. If you need to vent to avoid exploding on your family, talk to a professional. Dr. Tai shares her expertise and offers ways for the every day woman to feel and be more at peace and aligned with how she wants to live her best life. Dr. Tai is a licensed psychologist. Her formal education includes a BA from Spelman College and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

Dr. Tai specializes in working with ambitious professionals who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and career and relationship issues. In 2017, she founded The Black Girl Doctor, a virtual mental health practice specializing in therapy for professional Black women.
