  • EP 11. A Letter to My Inner Child

    Does your inner child needs some healing? Are you still acting out (as an adult) the pain suffered by your inner child? Have wounded parts of yourself contributed to or carried over to situations in your adult life? If so then this episode is for you! A way to connect to your inner child is by writing a letter. In this episode, I talk a little about inner child and I share a letter I wrote to little Ashley. :-)

  • EP 10. MALES in MENTAL HEALTH

    Ashley was joined by Counselor/Mentor Jarvis "JB" to have a conversation about the clinical work he does in regards to mental health. JB has been doing clinical work for 5 years now and he works with males between the ages of 11 to 15 years old.

    JB creates a safe place for youth, specifically boys, to be open and to share their struggles with mental health. JB teaches his youth that it's okay to be vulnerable and to feel emotions. 

    JB shares his passion for mental health and he also shares his own personal struggles with mental health. 

    "Shoutout to all the men going through a lot, with no one to turn to, because this world wrongly taught our males to mask their emotions and that their strong means silent."
