Hi guys, I am back and ready to give you all new content. I am now a freshman in college and over these past couple of months I have gained new experiences and ideas that I would love to share with you all. I have also made new connections with others that are willing to share their own experiences. Thank you for staying with me as I enter this new chapter in my life ! 

I talk about my personal experiences with anxiety and how it effects me. I also give insight on why I began this podcast in the first place and what more I have to offer to the podcast in the future !

In today's episode I spoke with Ms. Natasha Watkins as we talked about how to focus on the present and live in the now instead of becoming anxious and worried about what the future holds. I also speak on showing appreciation towards others and their accomplishments and how an act of kindness can totally change a person's day.

Join me and Dr. Vikki Johnson as we discuss how she got into helping women be there best selves , finding your purpose, and knowing your worth. I also talk about short-term vs. long-term goals and how our short-term goals obtain our long-term goals/dreams.

In this episode I sat down with my closest friends, Anessa, Kalaya, and Morgan. We talked about dealing with death in our families, health and toxic relationships/friendships, and what motivates us to further our education and refrains us from achieving our goals.

In this episode, I sat down with two of my male friends and we discussed having to deal with high expectations, family differences, our plans after high school, and how our lives changed throughout the pandemic. 

In this episode I interviewed Dr. Sharon Dodd-Kimmey a forensics psychiatrist. In this episode we talked about identifying stressors and ways to manage it. We also talked about letting go of things that you can not control and how as humans we sometimes need to get out of our head and do things that will make us happy, relaxed, balanced, and whole. 

For my first episode I interviewed Dr. Monifa B. McKnight, interim superintendent of schools for Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), Maryland. We discussed how the pandemic affected students socially and emotionally. We talked about how school counselors, admin, and teachers can be more aware of a student's mental and emotional health as well as their grades and report cards. Dr. McKnight also mentioned resources that young adults can use to help through anxiety, depression, and stress.
