PSYCH me up!: Recent Episodes
Carmen Daniel, MPH
Let's normalize healing our brain! Our brain is the powerhouse behind what motivates us & how we behave & interact with the world. When it comes to taking care of our brain we often leave its care to our own devices. Stigma has certainly decreased, specifically among BIPOC communities, but there's more we can do. My true passion lies in the science of behavior change. Through this lens, I invite you to follow my intimate journey in continuous self-discovery, but not alone. I'll bring along public health colleagues, friends and experts in the field. It's our time: PSYCH me up!
We round out this component of the podcast in diving into the science of mental health with psychiatrist, Dr. JK Hairston. The more you know, the more you grow. In this episode we dive into the inner workings of what psychiatry really looks like. Coming into this conversation I gave the nod that psychiatrists simply prescribe medicine that's used as a part of treatment - not to say I was wrong - but I wasn't right. In order to destigmatize this space, we can't sugar coat any of its parts. We talk about our medicines and treatments for chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol - and many have no fear, shame or guilt in asking for refills. But what does it look like in taking care of our mental health? In this episode with Dr. Hairston we dive into what it means to truly show empathy towards yourself and the work it takes to be your best self. Prescribing medicine to deal with chronic/acute mental health disorders works alongside a care plan and with any care plan - compliance and patience is necessary. Dr. Hairston shares her experiences as BIPOC psychiatrist, mother, practitioner, and mental health advocate. Dr. Hairston is available to connect on many platforms. Check her out below - as always - share her flowers now while we can. IG: @doitwithempathy Facebook: JK Hairston, MD Website: www.empathicwellness.com

I'm so excited to share this episode with each of you. Cintia and I met purely through universal alignment. As a first generation PhD student Cintia explores what her mental wellness journey has looked like for her and how she has and continues to navigate this space. She shares experiences from her personal life that have impacted and informed her research interests and fueled her passions. Cintia poses the question: "Are you ok in your head?" and the conversation truly grew from there. In this episode we dive into the science of mental health through a behavioral science lens as Cintia - the future Dr. Hinojosa - shares excerpts from her work in BIPOC communities coupled with vulnerable moments in this journey, specifically as a first generation Mexican American. Cintia hits home with what "Psych's her up"! You'll have to listen to find out. Please be sure to check out Cintia's work via social links below and as always, if something was said that sparked your interest or helped you in anyway, feel free to reach out and give the flowers now. Enjoy!

Whew! What an inspiring episode and what even better way to kick off Black History Month! Join me as I invite two well accomplished licensed therapists doing their thing and taking names to share their stories and pour into each of you. Being a licensed counselor is work, ok? Tiffany Jones (IG: @Tiffany.KitchenRx) and Crystal Joseph (IG: @TheReal_PsycYourMind; Twitter/FB: @PsycYourMind) bring us laughs, knowledge and resources to help us take care of our mental wellbeing. This month is primarily focused on knowledge seeking for clarity and understanding. As we say - bringing the tea. Both clinicians answer a series of questions including their personal definitions of mental health and what psychs them up! They also clear up any confusion or misunderstanding of the role and path of a licensed counselor. I can honestly say, I learned a great deal. I hope you will too! Be sure to give these ladies their flowers now and follow them on your social platform of choice!

A little prep for what's to come in this month. Sorry for the wait - better late than never right? Anxiety - you gotta love her. I was in a clubhouse room and a psychologist shared that she encourages her clients to name their anxiety. One of their clients named their anxiety Felicia. Whenever their anxiety surfaces, they say: Bye Felicia. Bye Felicia - Welcome Month 2 of Psych me up!

Very excited to welcome our first guest, India Harris ED.S., LAPC, NCC! Signs of anxiety exhibit in many ways. Although general anxiety is most frequently diagnosed, there are other forms of anxiety that many people live with throughout their entire life.

In this episode we talk all things anxiety where India shares with us how this shows up in her work with adolescents, how she remains resilient as a health services worker, how we can reframe how we view anxiety and mental health in the black and brown community and ends with what PSYCH's her up!
