Solution Focused Approach : Episode 48

Mentorship, Know What You Don’t Know : Episode 47
Too often, people feel intimidated by experts and shy away from asking for mentorship. Mentorship is not a burden for mentors. Quite the contrary, it is a deep, meaningful experience for the mentor. The value of mentorship goes well beyond the benefits to the mentee. While the voices of mentors are not often heard, their legacies live on in every mentee's life through their legacy tree. ~ excerpt from article written by (Deborah Heiser Ph.D.)

Living With EQ (Emotional Intelligence) : Episode 40
Over the last few decades, there seem to be a rising of #individualism. #Attitudes, #behaviors, and interpersonal interactions have been directly affected by technology and social media.

Why Is It So Hard to Talk About Sex? : Episode 39
We think about #sex, #fantasize about sex, and (preferably) have sex. Which begs the question, why is #sexuality ignored in discussion on healthy well-being? Believe it or not, people felt a greater sense of #wellbeing, and a more profound sense of #meaning in life the day after having sex. Surprisingly, it appears that having sex generally does provide a real #boost to #mood, #outlook, and well-being…sooooo…for a #profound sense of meaning in #life, Have Sex.

The Ugly of Black Professionalism: Episode 36
At times being your true #self can come at a cost. Down through the years and even to the present, many individuals feel that climbing the #corporateladder to success mean presenting themselves as a #professional. However, more often than not, the meaning of #professionalism is often connected with assimilating into the majority. There is an #expectation (an impossible expectation), of needing to be white while inhabiting a Black body and embracing your black culture. Are we really supportive in #corporations and #organizations of #diversity, #inclusion, and #equity? How can we rethink the #systems and expectations that are in place and refuse to lend to people just being themselves?

Social Media Ain't Your Therapist: Episode 31
The connection between poor mental health and social media apps is scary. In spring of 2021, the Reboot Foundation surveyed more than 1,000 Americans on their social media usage and its impact on their mental health. More than half of the people who took part in the survey acknowledged that their social media use intensified their feelings of anxiety, depression, or loneliness. They also knew that it contributed to feelings of low self-esteem and made it harder for them to concentrate. Yet, we don’t have more doctors, schools, and community groups speaking out against it. In this episode we speak on it…

Are We Our Own Worst Enemy: Episode 30
#Depression and #anxiety can be significantly influenced by our self-critical voice and subsequent behaviors. Yes, there was a Jim Crow era. Yes, there was slavery. But, contrary to unpopular opinion, we have progressed, and we have excelled as a people. Today we will discuss if old ideology is creating cognitive dissonance and a lack of real effort to continue to progress. #mentalhealthawareness

How Can I Support Black Women: Episode 29
Episode summary introduction: As Black women, we are often seen as matriarchs and leaders of our families and communities. Whether it is in the role of girlfriend, wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend, employee, co-worker, caretaker, or business owner, we give out a lot. And it seems we are expected to proudly serve in these roles since we are often referred to as “the strong black woman.” However, it can become exhausting to constantly be on point at all times and we may neglect our psychological needs. One way to prevent this is to explore our needs and ask yourself: What do I need from me? From others? Or in general… Let’s talk about it #mentalhealth #awareness #supportwomen

Winter Blues or S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder): Episode 25
As the time change, leaves fall, and temperature drop, so do our mood and thoughts. It is much more than holiday blues or a slight change of mood.

Church and Mental Health: Episode 24
Literature suggests that African Americans are much more likely to rely on their faith as a coping mechanism for dealing with depression and anxiety than they are to utilize a mental health professional. One study found that 90% of African Americans reported use of religion in coping and dealing with mental health issues. In other words, many African Americans, rather than seeking support in the form of a mental health professional, go to the church. Today we discussed the role of the church in improving or worsening mental wellness in the African American community (Victor Armstrong/ https://afsp.org/story/the-role-of-th...)

Mommy Guilt: Managing Your Mental Health while Raising Children: Episode 21
No matter what choices are made about children, mothers often feel they can do better. If guilt is a mother’s primary emotion, it can override other pertinent emotions such as pride, affection, and empathy. While we all realize there is no perfect way to parent, we still feel bound to parent in a certain way according to the ever-changing parenting book of this generation. Where do we begin and where do we stop with this trend of mommy guilt.
