August 13, 2018 Are You Living Your Best Life Or Best Lie?: Social Media & Comparison
We learn as children to never judge a book by its cover but for some reason, we tend to do just that as we scroll through our news feed. In this episode, Kea tackles how social media brings out insecurities when posts are only demonstrating the highlight reel of someone's life. She also talks about when social media was a trigger for her and how she's worked on healing, and not allow social media to make her doubt her abilities and minimize her accomplishments. Perception is reality. What are the stories you tell yourself? Kea gives us homework to help us go beneath the surface and discover where our emotions and thoughts are tied to that come to the surface when we scroll our news feed.

August 06, 2018 Reflections: Triggers & Trust
In this week’s episode, Kea talks about giving trust away too fast before letting people earn it, and her triggers with the phases “I’m busy” or “I have a lot going on.” She shares how therapy is helping her getting to the root of why those phrases are triggering as it often brings feelings of disappointment and rejection. She uses the research of Brene Brown's 'BRAVING' to help us better understand trust and encourage listeners to think about what trust means to them.
Therapist Shout-Out: Talk Space (www.talkspace.com) is an affordable online and mobile therapy platform. You can find a therapist and communicate with them via text, video or phone.
Mind Body & Soulness Segment: Kea encourages us to join her social media detox to help us become more in tuned with our thoughts and feelings and improve our mood.

July 16, 2018 Stop Using Faith As A Crutch For Your Mental Health!
This week’s episode may rub some people the wrong way but that’s okay. It’s time to set the record straight and provide another prospective. Kea talks about the story of Elijah and how he reveals signs of depression. She encourages us to stop using faith and prayer as a crutch and be an active participant in your mental health. Praying about your mental health does not mean suppressing your thoughts and emotions, and letting it turn into envy, jealously, bitterness and anger. The scripture reminds us that “faith without works is dead.”
