About this episode
Dr. Cheyenne Bryant went viral overnight after her deep, unfiltered insights on love, relationships, and healing struck a chord with millions - including Nick Cannon and Cam Newton. She joins Joseph "JoJo" Simmons on the For Good podcast to talk about how that moment transformed her career and the responsibility that comes with being a public truth-teller in mental health.
In this episode, Dr. Bryant unpacks how childhood wounds shape our adult relationships, explaining why so many people sabotage love without realizing it. She delivers some hard-hitting truth to JoJo about his trauma responses in his own marriage, telling him: "The husband has left the conversation, and the little boy has stepped in. There's no space for a child in an adult relationship."
They dive into:
- The power of emotional intelligence and how to use it to break unhealthy cycles.
- Attachment theory and how understanding your attachment style can change your relationships.
- How to heal unresolved childhood trauma that impacts love, career, and self-worth.
- Why truth-telling in media is critical for breaking the stigma around mental health.
