"Building Dreams Through Conversations, Community, and Laughter" - 195

We’re in a season where transparency, critical conversations, and deepening connections matter more than ever as we navigate these uncharted waters of collective burnout. Anti-hustle is the antidote to burnout. So we also need more lightness and laughter to not take ourselves too seriously. And I can think of no one more perfect than my close friend, Tamika Lewis to explore these topics.  Tamika Lewis, LCSW is the founder and Clinical Director of Womxn of Color Therapy Inc., a mental health and wellness center that supports teens and womxn of color in Los Angeles, California. She specializes in women's issues and emphasizes the importance of decolonizing traditional approaches to psychotherapy. Her company offers individual therapy, energy healing, self-care workshops, and massage. Tamika is also a contributor to many publications, including Thrive Global, Washington Post, and Prevention Magazine. She is currently working on her book Tiny Moves: Defining Moments that Change Us. Tamika enjoys collaborating with other health and wellness practitioners and speaking on topics relating to women, relationships, and tools for personal success.
