Relationships Through the Looking Glass

Wow..."interesting" is the word of the day. 

No regrets...I said what I said. :D

The world is a wonderland...the same one Alice found herself in. Everything is distorted and nothing appears real, while the fakest thing can feel like the most authentic experience. The podcast will take a look at how our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us impact how we relate to one another. With a male and female perspective from guests in different fields and life experiences, we aim to use real-world examples of how the looking glass self-theory has an impact on all relationships. We will address societal, cultural, and mental health concepts in everyday terms as we work towards personal growth that allows us to build authentic relationships and attract connections meant for us.

The episode will discuss that age-old question (or is it) Can you really be friends with an ex! Hear Nicole and I talk with Earnell the "Wildcard Therapist" and Victor with the "Liquor Talk" Podcast about how to use the lessons to thrive in new relationships and possibly create an environment of friendship from past realationships.

In this podcast, we review personality types and discuss how we think they impact relationships.  Topics such as if these classifications are valid, do they help or hinder personal growth, and if it is possible to be multiple types. Check out which one you resonate with and find out what type we are. A great pod to learn more about yourself...but mostly tons of laughs.

In this podcast, we talk with Blake Johnson the host of "The Diary of a Mad Black Man" podcast, and  F. Khristopher Blue, the host of the "More Than Therapy" podcast.  This podcast will ask questions like; what does the term “mental health” mean to you and why do you feel there is such a stigma around mental health, especially in the black community. We will also look at some barriers preventing access to mental health services in the black community. We also talk about the impacts of mental health challenges in your personal relationships and some indicators someone can see in their relationships that may suggest the need for mental health support. Finally, we look at how we can support each other through mental health challenges and how to practice self-care.
