Tap In, Tap Out

Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! The podcast is back for a discussion of identity, authenticity, and maintaining your mental health in the process of figuring all that out. I'm joined by Isaac (@isaacriverra), who is a dear friend that I met along my grad school journey. Isaac and I discuss our time working together as play-therapists, and talk about some of the TV I've been watching lately (namely Moonknight on Disney+ and Severance on AppleTV). Let me know your thoughts! Apologies for aspects of the audio on this episode; this was my first time trying out a live recording set up with more than one person. I know the episodes have been sparse this year but I appreciate all the love and support. Not sure where this particular podcast is headed after this but I'm keeping an open mind as always - thank you for exploring these ideas with me for the past 25 episodes! Be sure to follow me on my socials to stay up to date with what I'm doing moving forward.

How do you affirm yourself? This week for the podcast we have Affirmation Musician Toni Jones (@iamtonijones) join for the Tap In to get all into it! Toni is a talented Motown native, creative, and mental health advocate aiming to be a part of an affirmation movement that helps the human family to heal and grow. We dive into her music and unpack what some of her methods are behind the magic. We also talk about the barriers to accepting affirming messages, and how we can combat negative self-talk and overthinking. There were so many gems in this episode you don't want to miss a minute of it!

This week for the podcast we're doing another Black Love Journal session! First, we catch up a little on music including the upcoming Adele release. For the Tap In I talk about a recent experience I had with putting together and releasing my first guided journal, and some lessons I'm taking away from the experience. For the tap out we're talking about confidence! How do you feel when someone calls you confident? What does your relationship to confidence say about you, if anything?
