No Need to Explain with the Mental Health Mamas: Recent Episodes
Serena Ward, MLE, MHM, EBE and Tina Hallock, MLE, MHM, EBE
Parenting is hard. When you have a child who doesn’t fit neatly into a box, it can be even more challenging. With the Mental Health Mamas, there’s No Need to Explain. We get it. Join us as we share a bit of what we’ve learned along the way, talk openly about mental health, share the voices of other Experts by Experience, work to help you feel less alone and gently remind you to do your best to take care of yourself while also taking care of your people.
Akeem Shannon joins Tina and Serena this week to talk about his journey with mental health. Akeem is an entrepreneur, a pitch pastor, dog dad, and motivational speaker and talks very candidly about the windy path that took him to being in the happy successful place he is today. Listen in!

Listen in as we talk about some of the ways we’ve learned to stay out of judgment and remain curious about ourselves and others.

Listen in as Tina and Serena talk about how they support others and what things are helpful (and not helpful) to say to our people when they struggle.

We all make mistakes because it’s simply a part of being human. When you think back to the last mistake you made, do you beat yourself up over it or do you treat yourself with compassion? When you are struggling do you offer yourself kindness like you would for others? Practicing self-compassion is a challenge for many of us including the Mental Health Mamas. Listen in as we talk about our struggles with being kind to ourselves and some of the things we’re working on to be more compassionate toward ourselves.

Sharing the story of our struggles can be a powerful way to create connection with one another and perhaps feel a bit less alone, but it gets tricky when it comes to our kids. Who do we disclose to and how do we do it? How do we walk the line between “we all have mental health” and “not my story to tell”? Join us to hear what the Mental Health Mamas have to say about sharing our stories.

To loosely quote Hamilton, we ALL want to be in the room where it happens. What does it look like when all the stakeholders ARE in the room where it happens, but not everyone knows? For anyone who saw the video of the school board executive session that was unintentionally streamed to the public, you witnessed one unfortunate outcome. What would it be like if we always spoke as if everyone was in the room? Or what if every stakeholder actually WAS in the room? Join the Mental Health Mamas as we talk about taking sides, positive partnership and building trust.

**If you’re anything like us, you may struggle with setting healthy boundaries with your kids and other people (and things) in your life. We know that boundaries are an important part of self-care and yet, they can also be incredibly challenging. Join us, the Mental Health Mamas, as we talk about boundary setting during lots of “together” time, some of our own strict boundaries and some of the boundaries we are continuing to work on.
