I'm sure you've heard plenty of people attest to growing on the quest to become whole & handled relationships healthily. However, everything in life is a process. Healing is far from easy & can sometimes feel worse than what you've been accustomed to experiencing even if it was toxic.
Tonight to welcome in season 2, we discuss the genesis of mental wellness and self-awareness.
We're back again!

Let’s talk about what triggers look like, how they affect us, & what we can do to better manage them.

A lot of factors attribute to stress in life; both controllable & uncontrollable. We're diving deeper into the outward contributors to stress, health issues and conditions induced by stress, & encouragement to acknowledge and change the way we handle negative thoughts & emotions.
~ This episode is continuation of the prior podcast (Ep. 5.) Please listen to it beforehand.~
Everyone experiences stress, yeah? Of course; good or bad. How we manage it is what really matters! We discuss the body's natural mechanisms for resolving stress, poor, normalized habits & healthy solutions that improve our mental stability & aid overall wellness simultaneously.
Creating a "safe space" for others is not always easy, but it is doable from one caring friend to another. It helps loved ones process stress in trying times, and us "holding" that space for them means being present in their most uncomfortable moment. We discuss who needs these spaces the most, the effects of the post-pandemic world, and ways we are able to cultivate mental/emotional safety in chaos.
We dig deep into the meaning of joy & happiness, why we don’t experience joy enough & what can be done to change the narrative of the negative stigmas that have been placed on African-Americans.
We discuss what self-love is, its past & present stigmas, how it affects mental health & ways to increase it in daily practice.
