The Black Woman’s
Confidant Podcast
The Black Woman’s Confidant Podcast is a show for successful Black women. Whether you are a physician, attorney, entrepreneur, or in the c-suite, this is the place where the successful black women who “have it all,” can admit that having it all is hard. Dr. Nicole Washington, the Black Woman’s Confidant, answers the questions you hesitate to ask when you face relationship challenges, personal issues, child or employee behavior issues or when you stop feeling and forget why it was you were working so hard anyway. She leverages her leadership experience, her professional experience as a psychiatrist, and her life experiences as a wife and mother to help move you from introspection on the issues that weigh on your mind, that you don’t dare share, to action where you implement strategies that provide relief. More importantly, it’s the place where we find help getting unstuck, and can get back to enjoying your life.
