In this episode of Dope Discussions we're talking about the process of loving again after experiencing some pain in our past. Let's discuss how men and women can connect by creating a safe space for each other to let down those guards and reveal those scars that we hide from the world. We are excited to welcome the guys from the Real Shop Talk to come in and give us some very valuable and introspective views on this topic. This was a game changing conversation. Let us know your thoughts!!!

What does depression and anxiety look like? It looks like your best friend who makes everybody laugh. It looks like your mother who loves to reach out and help anybody in need. It looks like your co-worker who always looks so put together that you ask her for fashion tips.   The scary thing is that depression and anxiety looks like every day normal people and it's time for us to talk about it. No more suffering in silence and no more thinking that you are alone. Our special guest life coach, podcast host and mental health & wellness advocate, Ursula B is joining us for this very important discussion.

How do you know when the love is gone and the relationship is over? Do you sit your partner down and tell them how you feel or do you keep going through the motions hoping that the love will come back? How do you look someone in the eye and tell them that you don't love them anymore when they are not ready to let go? Our special guests include a panel of men and women who will share their experience and perspective on this topic.

Are we sacrificing our physical and mental health for the hustle culture?  Our society has normalized working from sun up till sun down to chase the bag by all means necessary so we can out hustle the next person as a badge of honor, but at what cost?  If we live by the motto "I can sleep when I die" that day might just come a lot sooner than later. Let's talk about how we got here and some healthy ways to balance out the extremes.

At what point does self love turn into vanity and narcissism? Have we tainted the concept of what self love really is? Has social media created a spirit of narcissism in our society or has it revealed what was already there?
