Do you have a therapist? Many of us do! Someone to trust with our inner most thoughts and feelings. Someone to talk things through with… If you don’t, what you do have is options and my guest this week is one of the best in the mental health business. In our interview, she drives home the point that Therapists are people too! She’s Clinical Director of the National Pike Health Center in Maryland, the one and only, Icia Ragsdale.

In addition, we all want you to know Mental Illness is not a menace to society.

Remember, no one wants to be fixed, we want all to be heard. A must see! Watch now!

Eating healthy is on everyone’s list of New Year’s Resolutions, but none of us seem to be able to crack the code. After a few weeks of salad, we’re back to the fast food runs. Nutritionist Andrea Norelle specializes in helping the 9-to-5’er eat healthy and she has some good news for how easy it is to make small adjustments to your menu. As most of you know, the majority of my meals come from the vending machine as I hustle from one gig to another. Check out this interview to learn how our lifestyles and nutrition go hand-in-hand. If I can do it, so can you! Here’s to a healthier 2019.
It takes a big heart to use your gifts and talents to help the under-served communities. Most people just think of them during times of hurricanes, fires or holidays. But these three women are a part of a bigger purpose and you can help.
What’s in your wallet? Really, it doesn’t matter, because my guests are the founders of Black Men Heal, a nonprofit that offers pro bono therapy to men of color. Yes, free! Gratis!

A spokesperson is rising to the top and taking to the streets to stop the stigma. What stigma? The stigma on Mental Illness.

He is none other than, Sinclair Ceasar. In our interview, he shares how he is helping the community live their best life.
How easy is it to access mental health services? I’ve heard some say it is very difficult. But my guest this week says, it’s actually not as difficult as others may think. In this interview I chat with Alicia Dalton, COO of QCI Behavioral about the different ways people can get access to services. QCI is a comprehensive behavioral health solution in the DC Metro Area and Alicia breaks down all the ways you can get help. As the COO, Alicia serves the community by creating programs and policies to help clients connect to the mental health services they need. It is her passion to bring serenity to the lives of others. This interview was amazing. I was blown away by all the knowledge Alicia dropped! QCI offers mobile units, home visits – they even meet clients at local store.

Are leaders born or made? How do leaders handle life’s transitions? What can they teach us? Victor Angry develops leaders by teaching people the very skills that propelled him into being the first African American to hold the position as Command Sergeant Major of the entire Army National Guard. His training specifically focuses on group improvements through team development. He places much emphasis on transitioning Veterans into the civilian workforce by providing workshops for members who face the often-challenging shift from the military culture to civilian life as well as civilian organizations that are challenged with understanding military culture to properly assist Veterans in this transition. He sees the value in connecting liked-minds together to provide a seamless, successful transitional environment.

Today’s topic is money, money, money! Are you saving money? Are you investing money? I personally know the slow drip of income and the outpouring of expenses that cause self-doubt to kick in when we want to do the things we enjoy. It’s why I invited financial advisor Pamela Sams to discuss how we can finance a freedom lifestyle.
For 16 years, Pamela has been helping women improve their personal and financial wealth through solid financial life planning. She’s an advocate for financial literacy and the president of the Fairfax County Chapter of the International Association of Professional Women.
Yes, some say money is the root of all evil but the truth is the love of money is the root of all evil because it drains you of the discipline to be a good financial steward over your funds. Learning to manage your flow of cash will help you enjoy a better future. No one wants to work until their ninety years old. Invest some now to live a life you’ll love later!

Serena Williams recently sat down with People Magazine for a tell all interview about her experience with Post-partum after the birth of her daughter. It got me to thinking… Maternal Mental Health is not something we talk about much. We view the event of having a baby, a joyous event. But for many women, it is not. The process of having a baby can have a stressful effect on her life. So I sat down with my friend, Kristen Brooks for the details.
Kristen Brooks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Owner of Building Beyond Therapy LLC. She earned an MSW from the University of Maryland Baltimore and is clinically licensed in Maryland and the District of Columbia. For half a decade she’s provided social work services in many capacities, including child welfare, inpatient psychiatric services and schools but more importantly, she‘s certified in Maternal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International (PSI) and is a Board Certified Supervisor with the Board of Social Work Examiners in Maryland.
A serious illness is nothing you should ever go through alone. If the people around you don’t understand or if they are not supportive, reach out to other circles of encouragement that have been through the same thing and always remember there is a therapist in your area that you can connect with to help you progress through your issues.

Audience Takeover is how I will describe this episode. It was my second time recording with a live in-studio audience and once I opened the microphone for questions and comments the conversation went left. It was CRAZY, in a cool kind of way! LOL! It proved one thing to be absolutely true, everyone is affected by a couple's decision to divorce. Don’t miss this monumental episode of That Anita Live.
Debbie Dechambeau is not only a divorcee herself, but she is also the product of divorce. From all of her parents and stepparents she has nine (yes, 9!) siblings. Her story will amaze you. During our conversation she shared how, everyone (not just the bride and groom) should brace for divorce.
Why? Because divorce takes a serious toll on the entire circle, not just the couple. Everyone from the grandparents to the aunts and uncles to little league coaches and dance instructors – everyone. If ever you’re impacted by divorce, consider how you will continue to interact with in-laws, church members or neighbors, all the people that knew you as a couple before the divorce and remember self-care is key to staying emotionally fit on your journey to emotional healing.Enjoy the interview!

How many bad relationships have you had? Watching the demise of Mary J. Blige and Kendu reminds me of Tom Cruz and Katie Holmes, all I can wonder is how do we miss the signs? The good news is we can all heal, but if the monster we described was the person we actually met, domestic violence would be easy to eradicate from the earth. That’s how T. Renee Garner, Stage Play Producer describers her ex – as a Man Monster. Why, you ask? No, he wasn’t physically abusive but he was psychologically abusive. She realized she had been abandoned by her intimate partner after waking up from a coma in the hospital.
Today, her personality is bubbling as ever. In our interview she comically tells the story of going into labor prematurely, waking up from a coma and moving on with life. Trust us, happy is waiting but you have to work through your emotional baggage to get to it.
Take a good look at your situation. An abuser doesn’t have to be an intimate partner. It can be anybody, even a parent, neighbor or supervisor. If you are being emotionally, mentally or physically abused or even it happened some time ago, abuse can manifest in fear, low self-esteem or even suicidal thoughts - call the National Domestic Violence Hotline – Help is available to you.

It’s an epidemic and you are the answer to making it better. The number of suicides, especially among children and teens increases every year, but no one seems to know why. From Florida to Ohio to our nation’s capital, children as young as eight and adults as old as eighty are committing suicide and I feel, it is time we move this from being a private household problem to a community effort of prevention. So, I reached out to my fellow mental health clinician, an Associate Professor in the Psychiatry Department at Georgetown University Medical Center. Dr. Alfiee (as she is affectionately called by many) is a recognized expert in adolescent depression. She currently leads multiple research teams including being the Project Director of the AAKOMA project. The African American Knowledge Optimized for Mindfully-Healthy Adolescents. In this interview we discuss the various stages of life, associated pressures and what we the community can do to end suicide. Listen, if the pressure in your life is becoming overwhelming, reach out for help. We have all been through difficult times and had to learn how to manage. It’s ok, that you’re going through it, we want to help you live through it. Whether it’s fear, anxiety, low self-esteem or even suicidal thoughts – please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
Every family has its issues but have you ever looked at your family’s issues from a generational perspective? Did Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma, all experience domestic violence?

It is often said, the best things in life are free and one of those things is friendship. Someone to stand with and lean on in difficult times.

But my guest this week says those circles of bond are still valid, important and available. Cynthia Peterson discusses the importance of having a sister circle and offers her organization God Loving Obeying Women (G.L.O.W) as a place to find motivation, encouragement and connection.

Stop saying ‘if this’ or ‘but that’ and start earning your impossible dream. As a very strong willed pregnant teen, my guest very quickly fell on hard times, living at times without heat and running water.

In her fight to improve her life she manage to get the one thing that has proven to successfully enhance and upgrade any situation you may find yourself in, she manage to get a college education, earning not just her bachelor’s degree but her doctorate degree from Yale University. Dr. Deb is proof, nothing is impossible. She is currently a very proud, giving and adored teacher at Loudoun School for the Gifted. If there is something noble you’d like to do, a passion you have or a dream you’d like to realize. There has been no better time in history, to get up and do something about it.

This week we’re talking – Self-Esteem! What do you do when you’re self esteem tanks?
We all know that our worth and self-value starts in childhood and that, as adults, we behave according to what we believe and how we feel about ourselves. Take your self-esteem and identify seriously. Identify a way to work on strengthening your self-esteem every day. Need an idea, keep reading……
My guest is one mother that took matters into her own hands. When her daughter began to question her worth and her identity, Mom got busy! Múkami Kinoti Kimotho’s designed and produced a line of 13 dolls to impact the lives of children worldwide. But to her surprise, many adult women started purchasing the dolls for themselves. They stated, the dolls symbolized pride, motivated them and touched them deeper than affirmations. So now, along with affirmations on the refrigerator, they now have an Avatar on their desk. Encouraging them to stay the course and follow their plans to design a life around the things they like to do versus the things they must do.
To find out more about the dolls, visit Royelles.com or find them at Facebook.com/royellesdolls.
What affirmation or symbol do you have to lift your spirits when you're feeling low?
