Welcome to the first official episode of the Live With Mads podcast! For the first episode, I am chatting with the amazing Gina Joseph. She is a yoga instructor and wellness advocate. She works to normalize mental health issues. In the recent months, she's been working to incorporate social justice into the world of wellness. Through her business, Manifest Melanin, she creates journals for women of color that will be released before the end of this year.
In this episode we discuss navigating wellness and self care in the midst of racial injustice. We also talk about:
her bipolar diagnosis and how she uses her platform to advocate for mental health
journaling and how she uses it to manifest
her company, Manifest Melanin
finding a community online
her meditation practice and morning routine
the many different ways you can meditate
getting inspired by other creatives on social media
You can find Gina on Instagram at @gypsygina. We'd love to hear your reactions to the episode, so please share your thoughts and questions you have as your listening and tag us both (I'm @livelikemad).
