The Safe Space Podcast
Conversations that center Black Women’s mental and emotional wellbeing—one story, one strategy, one safe space at a time.
This is your space to rest, reflect, and reclaim your mental and emotional wellbeing—without guilt, without apology.
Hosted by Courtney J. Fulton, Wellness Advocate for Black Women, this podcast dives into the real-life experiences, challenges, and victories of Black Women navigating today’s world. Each episode features honest conversations with guests who bring lived experience, cultural insight, and practical strategies for sustaining yourself in every season of life.
We talk about it all—protecting your peace during political crisis, setting boundaries without guilt, navigating (peri)menopause, redefining self-care in a recession, and embracing life’s transitions with grace and resilience.
Whether you’re an empty nester rediscovering yourself, a community leader pouring into others, or simply a Black Woman ready to prioritize your mental health, you’ll find affirming stories, actionable tools, and the reminder that you’re not alone.

Season 3 Episode 7- A Conversation About Friendships
I was lucky to have two guests this week! Jay and CiCi. These women are 2 Black queens who aim to enlighten and encourage society on what life is like for Black Women. They leave no topic untouched and get straight to the point. All while being with the shits!
Takeaways from our conversation:
- You are worthy of friends
- Friendships ebb and flow throughout different seasons in our lives, and that's OK
- It's OK to ask for help from a friend- we weren't made to "do life" alone
As busy women, it's easy to let friendships go by the wayside when we're entrenched in the day-to-day activities when working, involved in mom life, or physically distant from friends. However, true friends are those that you can call in the middle of the night, are there to listen to you vent, or offer advice. We all deserve deep and meaningful friendships that add value to our lives and help us feel connected, understood, and seen.
