- Are We Our Own Worst Enemy: Episode 30
#Depression and #anxiety can be significantly influenced by our self-critical voice and subsequent behaviors. Yes, there was a Jim Crow era. Yes, there was slavery. But, contrary to unpopular opinion, we have progressed, and we have excelled as a people. Today we will discuss if old ideology is creating cognitive dissonance and a lack of real effort to continue to progress. #mentalhealthawareness

52 min - How Can I Support Black Women: Episode 29
Episode summary introduction: As Black women, we are often seen as matriarchs and leaders of our families and communities. Whether it is in the role of girlfriend, wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend, employee, co-worker, caretaker, or business owner, we give out a lot. And it seems we are expected to proudly serve in these roles since we are often referred to as “the strong black woman.” However, it can become exhausting to constantly be on point at all times and we may neglect our psychological needs. One way to prevent this is to explore our needs and ask yourself: What do I need from me? From others? Or in general… Let’s talk about it #mentalhealth #awareness #supportwomen

53 min - Toxic Masculinity: Episode 27Toxic masculinity doesn’t only kill women. It kills men, too. The consequence of this kind of messaging is boys becoming men who are emotionally blunt, and who may find it hard to connect with others. In the worst of cases, it can transform into rage and isolation. In this episode, we explore toxic masculinity and what it means to our current society.40 min
- Speaking Truthfully: Episode 26From the time we are born, we are strongly influenced or conditioned to be a certain way by our parents or guardians. That guidance from those in control of our lives can be encouraging and expand our sense of self OR it can diminish and stifle who we really are. Being stifle prevents us from finding purpose, because who you are is essential for accomplishing that bigger goal. In this episode we explore who you really are through a line of questioning that will be sure to make you think, make you feel, and hopefully you do what's best for you.46 min
- Winter Blues or S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder): Episode 25
As the time change, leaves fall, and temperature drop, so do our mood and thoughts. It is much more than holiday blues or a slight change of mood. People who experience this significant change in mood may find themselves withdrawing from family and friends or lacking energy to expend on normal activities. Seasonal affective disorder (also known as SAD) is a subtype of major depressive disorder and the diagnosis presents with depressive symptoms associated with the change of a particular season. In this episode we will discuss ways to identify and address the diagnosis.

23 min - Church and Mental Health: Episode 24
Literature suggests that African Americans are much more likely to rely on their faith as a coping mechanism for dealing with depression and anxiety than they are to utilize a mental health professional. One study found that 90% of African Americans reported use of religion in coping and dealing with mental health issues. In other words, many African Americans, rather than seeking support in the form of a mental health professional, go to the church. Today we discussed the role of the church in improving or worsening mental wellness in the African American community (Victor Armstrong/ https://afsp.org/story/the-role-of-th...)
