Alone Together Podcast: Recent Episodes

"Where the loners aren't alone." The goal of our podcast is to explore topics that aren't typically discussed or easy topics to discuss. We aim to create a space for those who feel different, and perhaps alienated, from most. With the topics we discuss, we aim to plant the seed in our listeners and help along their journey of self-love and acceptance. You are never alone!

Today’s topic is men’s mental health, specifically Black men mental health. We have a special guest on today: Miles Collins, 4th year undergraduate at USC and activist. Recently, Miles organized an exclusive Black men mental health discussion at USC, which we thought was very powerful and amazing for him to have hosted at a PWI.
We talk all things mental health, being vulnerable as a man in today’s society, being a Black male in modern society and how stigmas play a part in our mental health and wellness.

Welcome back to the Alone Together Podcast…Where the Loners Aren’t Alone!
On this week’s episode, we are discussing something a little heavy! As we discuss trauma, we are going to be heavily discussing the research we have done on trauma and different types of trauma-informed care, primarily yoga as trauma therapy and how trauma plays into activism, social justice, and law.
We hope that creating the space to talk about something like this will inspire listeners to continue on their healing journey, because it is through that that our mental health will begin to evolve.

Welcome back to the Alone Together Podcast…Where the Loners Aren’t Alone!
Today we are talking all about anxiety, our experience with it, our personal coping mechanisms, and mental health in the Black community. This is a topic we are both very passionate about being that it is something we live with and continuously have to battle, and we wanted to open up the conversation on this topic that isn’t discussed much in our community.
It is our generation that must take steps to change the negative stigma associated with mental health in the Black community, and talking/being vulnerable about it is the first step!!

Today we decided to converse about gratitude and give y’all some tips on how to express gratitude more in our daily lives. Expressing how grateful we are for others, for ourselves, and for life should be a daily practice that is normalized amongst us humans. And, the holiday season, when we tend to surround ourselves with loved ones the most, is the perfect opportunity to begin to practice showing gratitude. We are thankful for you all <33
