In this episode, we discuss our experiences with Seasonal Affective Disorder(S.A.D.), Bipolar, Anxiety, and Depression. We also give the Pals some healthy coping skills if they share some of these same experiences.

In this episode, we introduce our first series that focuses on mental health. We talk about the stigmas within the Black community, some of our own struggles, and ways to combat what we go through. Sit back, relax, and chat with your pals :)

On this episode, we give our pals the tools to begin seeking mental health services. And we also welcome our first official guest, Asha Brown, LCSW-C. Asha Brown is a licensed clinical social worker from the Midwest, currently based out of Maryland. Asha has served as a mental health professional since 2016, working with people with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, and psychotic disorders.
