  Hey, y'all. Welcome back to I Have Some Thoughts, our weekly therapy for Black girls mini-sole series, where we are talking about all things pop culture, but of course, from a mental health lens. And I'm back today with Bria. Hey, Bria.

• 2:39Speaker 05

  Hi, Dr. Joy. Hi, everyone. I'm so excited for our topics today. I think we have some good ones and ones that people are gonna be excited for the conversations about. So let's start with Todd Tucker.

• 2:54Speaker 05

  Let's talk.

• 2:56Speaker 05

  So if you're not familiar, Todd Tucker was previously married to Candy Burris from Real Housewives of Atlanta. He announced that he's actually turning his divorce into a reality show. So he released a trailer for a new reality project that centers his life post divorce. It features other divorcees from Real Housewives of Atlanta. For a little bit of background, Candy and Todd reached a settlement for their divorce back in March. So this is just four months after announcing their split. Now Candy Burris has not spoken out on any of this, so we're not gonna assume how she's feeling about it. But as I was reading this story, I feel as though I might think, who is this person that I married?

• 3:41Speaker 05

  And like, how do we balance these feelings of maybe the person that you were once with is not who they really were? So like, what do you do when the person that you married becomes someone you don't recognize? And why does divorce bring out some of the worst parts in people?

• 4:00Speaker 01

  So one, Bria, I saw like a story of this, but I don't know why I thought it was gonna be like a Broadway or Off-Broadway kind of play, kind of thing.

• 4:08Speaker 05

  Same, actually.

• 4:09Speaker 01

  But it's a, it's a series. So is it on Bravo?

• 4:11Speaker 05

  I think it's going to select theaters, so you could get a ticket if you want.

• 4:15Speaker 01

  Oh, so it's gonna be like a, oh, so when you say reality series.

• 4:20Speaker 05

  A mini film, I guess.

• 4:22Speaker 01

  Oh, okay. Interesting. Okay. I think I would have probably more complicated feelings if it was on Bravo. That would feel like, hey, that is the house that Candy built, so let's not do that.

• 4:32Speaker 05

  Exactly.

• 4:33Speaker 01

  This is just a jumping off point for the conversation, right? So we're not talking as much about Candy and Todd as much as we are about like what happens after divorce, right? And I think there is often so many, so many different kind of complicated feelings after divorce has happened, right? Like some grief, maybe some anger, some sadness, maybe some resentment. It did feel like I had been seeing like Candy and Todd like still traveling together with their kids. And you're like wanting to kind of be amicable and like still be joined as a family, even if they are no longer together. And so it felt like they were on the right track. Now, I don't know what this kind of new update might mean, but I do think that there are typically some very just complicated feelings after divorce.

• 5:15Speaker 01

  And I think especially if it was not something that was decided mutually by both people, like if one person decides they want to end the marriage before the other person does, it can bring up some real feelings of like anger, I think. And like, who are you to do this to me? And just really not anticipating your life going this way. And so I think that people can have lots of different kinds of reactions stemming from who knows what, right? Like, because of course, after something like a divorce, a lot of stuff gets activated, right? Like any previous feelings of abandonment, any feelings of, you know, not being good enough, or feelings of worth that have been tied to your relationship status. And so sometimes we see people act out in ways that are not very kind or compassionate,

• 5:59Speaker 01

  or like they don't feel like who you were with when you were actually married to the person. Now, that doesn't excuse any of it, but I think it does offer some explanation as to why we see sometimes people act in ways that we feel like are very uncharacteristic.

• 6:13Speaker 05

  No, definitely. I totally agree. And I think even as people are navigating those different emotions, I think one can be this inclination to almost blame ourselves as to like, how did I not see this person clearly? Like, what did I miss from the beginning? So how can we navigate those types of internal thoughts and feelings that might come up?

• 6:35Speaker 01

  Yeah, and you know, we've talked about something like this on the show before, Bria, in terms of you didn't know what you didn't know, right? And you made the best decision that you could with the information that you had. And so we often want to try to pick ourselves apart because after a relationship is ended, it is often the only thing we have access to, right? Like, we don't know for sure what our excess thinking or feeling or what led to this decision. And so the natural inclination is to pick apart our own behavior. And what could I have done differently? And what did I miss? And that kind of thing. But it often just makes us feel much worse. And so I would really encourage people to not go down that road as much as possible, as much as you may want to not try to pick yourself apart, because there may not have been anything that you missed or that you could have seen.

• 7:18Speaker 01

  Right now, you know, maybe there are some things that you feel like, oh, if I had paid a little more attention to this or whatever, but I think that those are all reasons why you might make different decisions in the future, but not necessarily like, oh, you would have done something differently in this case.

• 7:34Speaker 05

  Absolutely. And for people who are struggling with that path, how do you recommend people start to begin to forgive themselves? You know, whether they had the information, whether they didn't, I think there's some societal level of shame that people may feel for picking the wrong person, or how did you not see that before? Or this person had done XYZ, so you should have expected it, kind of thing. How can people start to forgive themselves and work through that, those feelings?

• 8:04Speaker 01

  I do think that, but I don't know that that is where we want to start immediately after divorce, right? Like, that feels like a higher order kind of level of healing, so to speak, right? Like, I think in the immediate aftermath of a divorce, it is really tending to the grief and the sadness. And you know, in this case, when kids are involved, how do you continue to take care of your family? What's gonna be the arrangement? Like, those are the things that I think are immediate. I think the forgiveness of yourself comes a little later, when you've maybe had time to attend to the grief and maybe more time has passed. And I also think that a support group or finding resources and support from people who have also been in divorces could be really helpful. Because those kinds of things that people offer, sometimes they think it's helpful to say,

• 8:48Speaker 01

  oh, I never liked this person anyway, or like, oh, you could do so much better. But those kinds of things don't often help somebody who is dealing with heartbreak. And so finding support and comfort in people who have dealt with a similar situation, I think could be really helpful.

• 9:02Speaker 05

  Thank you, Dr. Joy. That was great. Now, for our next story, we're going to talk about Rasby. This is a very sad story. So B2K's Rasby and his wife Mona Lee announced the passing of their three-month-old son Astro Monte over last week. It's always so sad to hear these stories of babies passing away so young. I'm not a mother, but I imagine for mothers, it also, there's a lot of anxiety of all the different things that could go wrong and how you can protect your own child from those different dangers. What advice do you have? And how do you care for your baby without allowing the fear of something that could go wrong, allowing that to consume you?

• 9:45Speaker 01

  Hmm, I hadn't heard about this story, but sending them so much love. This is so difficult. As you mentioned, like anytime, you know, a young person passes in this way, it can really wreck. I think just people's feelings of normalcy and the natural order of the world, right? Like, why would a baby this young pass away? And so I think for new moms, that is often a real sense of anxiety, right? Like, how do I keep this baby safe? There are some instructions kind of that you go home with kind of after you have had the baby, but a lot of it is just kind of trial and error. And I think that it can lead to a lot of anxiety about baby safety post-birth. And so I think for a lot of women, it can be helpful to, again, lean on resources of other supportive moms.

• 10:28Speaker 01

  There are a lot of really great books. I'm not thinking of any off the top of my head. I know one of the big ones is like what to expect when you're expecting, and there's a follow-up one. That may be a really, really helpful one. But also staying connected to your health provider team, right? So to your OBGYN's office, sometimes there are support groups run out of there. If you are breastfeeding, then working with a lactation consultant or a lactation moms group can be really helpful. I think it can be really important to just find a community of other moms who may be parent in the same ways that you do and can maybe relieve some of those fears that you're having, that it is very normal to kind of think about these kinds of things. And they can also give you some helpful tips.

• 11:10Speaker 01

  I would, however, caution people around like some of the social media mom groups. So like the Facebook groups and like those kinds of things can feel really tempting, I think, because it feels like it can be a supportive community. But my experience is that there are so many people there with so many differing perspectives that it can almost lead to more anxiety than it can help manage. And so I would encourage you to maybe get some referrals, like I said, from your OBGYN or other moms that you know, or maybe even your school can connect you to other mom groups that may be a smaller scale and maybe feel more manageable for you to get some support.

• 11:43Speaker 05

  No, I love that. I feel like we're in such an age of like, just Google your symptoms, and then it could be like 60 or 70 different things that are going wrong. So I think that's great advice, too.

• 11:54Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 11:55Speaker 05

  So for our next story, we're going to talk about college degrees and the changing job market. So there is a new study done by the Burning Glass Institute that found that young workers without college degrees are currently experiencing one of their strongest job markets in decades, while young college graduates are facing a much tougher entry-level market. Some of the different factors they named were AI eliminating some junior-level professional work. Also, there's kind of an oversupply of degree holders and shortages in some of the skilled trades, too. So putting ourselves in the shoes of like a new graduate, a recent college graduate,

• 12:37Speaker 05

  what happens psychologically when we've done everything we were told to do? That was kind of the path that was laid out for us or expected of us, and we still can't find the stability that we were expecting at the end?

• 12:50Speaker 01

  Oh, that is so rough, especially in this market, right? Like, it feels so volatile, right? And so I think that there can be some real anger that happens after you have followed all of the steps, you have checked all of the boxes, done everything your parents said, everything the guidance counselor said, you know, done all the things, and then the end of the road does not end up as it was promised. I think it can be anger-inducing and frustrating. And what I want people to know is that this is not necessarily an indication of your value or that you didn't do the right things, right? Like, so much of it is out of our control in terms of the market and what's happening with, you know, jobs and hiring and all of those kinds of things. Like, everything just feels very chaotic. And so I think it's really important for young people to understand that

• 13:34Speaker 01

  it doesn't mean that your college degree is like not valuable or that you have not learned valuable skills. It really is just, I think, an indication of what's going on in the world. And so I would really encourage people to look at what kinds of transferable skills maybe have you developed as a result of your degree that may not be like a direct line with what you were hoping to do? But is there something that you could pin that off into, right? Like, if you have developed really strong writing skills as a part of your curriculum, then I think good writing is always something that can be hired for, right? So whether that's copywriting or sales or, you know, something like that. Like, I think that there are lots of transferable skills, and I hope that career coaches are working with young college grads to do some of this.

• 14:19Speaker 01

  I also think it's really important, and I think a bigger part of this conversation, Bria, is how we often talk about like college degrees as like the only path and seeing kind of skilled, specialized work like plumbing and electrical work and like almost as a lesser-than path as opposed to just a different one, right? And so I hope that a part of this conversation is also that we are encouraging people to look at all the different kinds of things they might be interested in and good at, and encourage people to explore different kinds of career possibilities. I also think that we are probably entering a world where you may go to school for one thing, but like do lots of different things as a part of just taking care of yourself as an adult.

• 14:59Speaker 01

  And so even if you have gotten a college degree, if you are struggling to find a job directly aligned with your degree, are there other skills that you might want to look at, right? Like, do you maybe want to become a barber? Or is cosmetology something that you were really interested in, right? Like, I think this is an opportunity to think about all the different ways that you can make money and seeing your college degree as just one piece of that puzzle.

• 15:23Speaker 05

  Definitely. And I think it also applies to, there's like, there's a lot of stats going around about how Black women are some of the most affected demographic of all the layoffs and things of that nature. So I think that's great advice across the board, too. And then my other question around this topic is, I feel like there's been such a hand-in-hand kind of evaluation of our self-worth, our career trajectory. We've been taught that education and professional success, like this is going to be path and like how we measure achievement. How do we start to decouple that, especially with all these different factors that are so out of our control? You know, there's so much that we, we just can't predict or handle right now.

• 16:06Speaker 01

  Hmm, yeah. And I think that's why it's really important for us to expand the conversations beyond like just what we do for work, right? That is a large part of our lives, just because we typically spend so many hours like in the workplace or doing whatever we do professionally. But it actually is not all of our lives, right? And I think it is really good for us to, as you mentioned, kind of continue to decouple this idea that like work is life, like that is the only thing. And so really leaning into what kinds of community service projects are you involved in? What kinds of hobbies and extracurricular kinds of things are you involved in? Are you actually a good person, right? Like, there are so many different ways to develop ourselves that really have nothing to do with what we do professionally. And so I think, you know, I've been excited to hear these conversations where they say,

• 16:50Speaker 01

  you know, like, stop asking little kids like, what do you want to be when you grow up? And have different kinds of conversations, right? Because again, that's only one part of our lives. And so I think expanding the conversation beyond what we do professionally is a good idea for lots of different reasons.

• 17:05Speaker 05

  Definitely.

• 20:42Speaker 05

  And for our last topic, we're going to talk about Karmelo Anthony. You may remember Karmelo, he was the high schooler who had stabbed a reportedly racist classmate. There's a lot of back and forth as to prior interactions that Karmelo had had with the student. But ultimately Karmelo stabbed the student at a track meet in Texas. Last week, a 75-page document, including pictures and text messages, was released to the public. In addition to pictures of Karmelo holding guns in his hand, there were also a lot of text messages of Karmelo expressing his hatred for black women. He shared comments sharing that wig glue was getting to black women's heads.

• 21:26Speaker 05

  He went as far as to say that black women should just die. The response has been very mixed. I think a lot of the black community, specifically black women, when this situation happened, rallied around Karmelo Anthony. I think the situation has always been very complex. There's always felt like there's some missing information, but ultimately, a lot of people took the stance that Karmelo was kind of being antagonized by this white student, and he finally like snapped. So there should be some level of consideration of that. But now, a lot of black women have turned on Karmelo from the conversations that I'm seeing on social media. Many are still holding space for the fact that he's a minor. He's growing up in a racist state.

• 22:09Speaker 05

  He's maybe at this white school that is projecting these different comments onto him, and he's trying to fit in. I think it's a tricky conversation. I don't think we're trying to solve how people should feel about it. But I, I think it opens the door to a broader conversation surrounding like, why black women are sometimes expected to extend unconditional support to black men, even those who don't really extend that same care or support for black women themselves.

• 22:40Speaker 01

  Hmm, I don't think that that is a fair expectation, right? And I think that this is the case of two things can be true, right? Like, I think you can be very convinced that the judicial system is racist, that this young person did not maybe get a fair trial, that the person was acting in self-defense. Like, it can be true that we think that this was a miscarriage of justice, right? And that it should not have gone down in the way that it did. And also feel very disrespected that these kinds of comments were made, right? And I feel like this is not the first situation where we've heard a black man sadly either being murdered or, you know, sentenced to jail.

• 23:22Speaker 01

  And then like it later comes out that they've said like really awful things about black women. And I think black women have a right to feel disrespected and like disgusted by that kind of behavior. And it is really unfortunate that it feels like this is so much a part of people's growing up, right? I don't feel like that was a part of what was needed to happen when I was a young person, but it sadly does feel like that is more and more the case. And that is the concern for me, is that why is this kind of hatred towards a group of women in your community like almost like a milestone as young people are growing up? Like, that is really concerning. But to your point, we can agree that the case maybe was mishandled, and we still want justice for this person and hold space for the fact that this does not feel good.

• 24:06Speaker 01

  After so many black women have held up the mantle and rallied and kind of made the calls and done all of this stuff, it just does not feel good. And it feels like a continuing degradation of black women, who are often some of the loudest voices in our advocacy communities, right? Like, I think it just feels like another hit and another blow to, you know, what we've already talked about, right? Like, how many women have been impacted by layoffs? And, you know, it just feels like black women continue to be a target, and it does not feel good.

• 24:34Speaker 05

  No, definitely. And even as you were sharing that, I was thinking about a conversation we had, had to be a few months ago at this point, surrounding all the Love Island racist comments and how it seems that every season, they're bringing on some cast member, and it comes out that they were very racist in high school. And it's like, why is that a stepping stone in so many people's growth journeys? It just will never make sense to me. But for, this is obviously a very like complicated and tricky situation. What does it look like for black women to prioritize their own safety and dignity without feeling like they're betraying their own community?

• 25:16Speaker 05

  I think it's something we see often where black men are the subject of police brutality and all these different things. And then it comes out later that they don't like black women. And so it's like, how do we protect ourselves in these situations where we kind of feel like we have to protect the black community, but we also need to protect ourselves at the same time?

• 25:37Speaker 01

  Mm-hmm, yeah, I feel like that can be a really tough challenge, right? And I think each of us gets to like pick and choose what kinds of causes and things are important to us, right? And so if you are kind of feeling tapped out in one particular area, it's okay to say, you know what, I'm going to move my support and my advocacy elsewhere, right? Like, I don't think that that is an unfair thing to do, because you can't continue to give and give at the expense of yourself, right? And your integrity and like the peace of mind that you have for yourself. And so I think it is okay to kind of be more judicious in terms of the things that you are like vocally supporting, or to wait for more information to come out before you are going on the record about something. Like, I think each of us individually gets to choose that.

• 26:22Speaker 01

  And I think that that's important to know, that just because you're hearing loud cries that, oh, we all have to get behind this kind of thing, like, that may not feel like it is in alignment for you, for whatever reason. And it is okay for each of us to choose that for ourselves.

• 26:38Speaker 05

  Definitely. I feel like this is, it's a conversation that's come up a lot, too. I feel like over the last couple of years, where different marginalized groups are having their marches and speaking out against injustices. And it's always like, black women are expected to show up for everyone else kind of thing. So I totally agree that you have to kind of pick and choose and also protect ourselves at the end of the day, too.

• 27:03Speaker 01

  Exactly. Well, that wraps up our topics for the week, so thank you, Dr. Joy. Thank you, Bria, another great list of topics.
