A Therapeutic Session with Tina; A Black Female Therapist in YYC

Dearest Diamonds, Therapy and wine session with an actual therapist. The best time!! 😁 In this heart-centered episode, I sit with my new friend, Tina Ashiofu, a registered psychologist and founder of ILERA Psychological Services in Calgary. What started as a light conversation about whether she should be my therapist or my friend turned into something even more beautiful: a friendship rooted in honesty, gratitude, and healing. We talk about: 💎 Building adult friendships with intention 💎 Healing while helping others heal 💎 Demystifying therapy in Black communities 💎 What “catching a break” and self-care really look like 💎 Playing our game: Therapist or Homegirl? (you’ll laugh + learn here) 💎 Gratitude, affirmations, and choosing softness as strength This episode is for every woman navigating growth, grief, or new beginnings — a reminder that you’re not alone, and healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Sometimes it looks like wine, laughter, and a good friend who reminds you to breathe. [0:00] Introduction & meeting Tina — therapist or friend?
