September 28, 2021 Inclusive Therapy with Amber Nutter, LCSW
Amber Nutter is a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and advocate for mental health. Her primary focus is tailoring her services for the needs of BIPOC folks who have historically been excluded from the conversation around mental health. She operates from the belief that true strength does not lie in avoiding one’s emotions but rather in learning how to accept them as a part of our full experience as human beings. Her practice provides a safe space for Black women-identified individuals to be their whole selves without censoring, toning down their personality, or code-switching.
In our conversation, we discuss some of the intense emotions one can experience as an entrepreneur. We explore how our society has normalized work stress and why it is difficult to recognize when you may need professional help. This can be especially true for Black women who are continually conditioned to put others first and rarely allow themselves the time to prioritize their own mental and physical health.
We break down achievable methods for managing stress and also look at the concept of mental fitness and why a supportive community is so important. I loved having Amber on the show, and I’m sure you will find the conversation every bit as informative and thought-provoking as I did. For all this and much more, tune in today!

September 21, 2021 Coaching Yourself Through Tough Times
We all know that there will be times when everything is going right and times when it feels like nothing is going right. It's not about whether it feels like it's going well or not; it’s about continuing to persevere and keep moving forward, working towards your goals. That’s where the importance of neuro coaching comes in.
On today’s episode, we dive into the benefits of self-coaching: the importance of focusing on the practice instead of the outcome, being less critical of yourself and realizing that all situations are neutral. We talk about dealing with thoughts and emotions while on this bumpy road of entrepreneurship, flipping the coin on negative thoughts, and using your beliefs to lead your actions. For all this and more, stay tuned!
