Welcome to Elevate Your Mindset with Tameka Brewington, the podcast that helps working professionals thrive personally and professionally. Hosted by licensed mental health therapist Tameka Brewington, this show explores real-life strategies rooted in wellness, mindfulness, and self-discovery.

In this episode, Tamika welcomes Rita Garnto—a self-care expert, former respiratory therapist, and massage therapist—who shares her deeply personal journey and “survival guide” for managing stress, burnout, and low-grade depression. Drawing from over 20 years in the medical field, including high-pressure roles in wartime Saudi Arabia and trauma flight teams, Rita offers realistic self-care practices designed for busy, modern professionals.

Together, they unpack Rita’s concept of Simple Self-Care—approaches that fit naturally into your day without requiring extra time or money. Listeners will learn how to:

• Take intentional moments—like using a physiological sigh to calm the nervous system.

• Add movement to daily routines, such as stretching before getting out of bed.

• Use sensory grounding—like savoring dark chocolate or petting an animal—to stay present.

• Brain dump or journal freely to release mental clutter.

• Embrace consistency over perfection, building wellness through small, steady habits.

Rita reminds us that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential for survival. Step away from comparison, reconnect with what brings you joy, and rediscover your peace. Tune in to learn how simple acts can make a powerful impact and truly elevate your mindset.
