Hey guys it's RJ and Kalhil. In today's episode Anna has graciously agreed to rejoin us in order to discuss the topic of Independence vs Interdependence. We live in a society that espouses independence as a necessary social norm for individuals that reach a certain age. Don’t get me wrong, being independent is an achievement to strive for in our life but is it the highest form of character development? For most of us independence is seen as I can do it by myself, I am responsible, I am self-reliant, I don’t need anybody or anything.

Hey guys its RJ, Unique, and Kalhil! In today's episode we're going to be discussing the Importance of Parenthood. One of the most difficult and rewarding jobs that an adult can undertake in life is Parenthood. Parenthood is role is an important one that transcends all boundaries and cultures. Traditionally, this term was associated with those who birth a child, but in today's society this has changed into something much more complex and intricate. Someone who is a parent doesn't necessarily have to share DNA with the child, but actively participates in the raising and developing of a fully functional person. From birth children rely on those to help both prepare them for, as well as aid them in navigating through the many twists and turns that life will throw their way. The importance of having a "Parent" or "Parents" be active and consistently in your life is something that can't be understated. For this episode, the cast is being joined by Anna for this conversation. She juggles the complexities of maintaining being a mom with that of being both a student and hard-working professional. Due to Anna's unique perspective, she has a unique and invaluable perspective on this topic. Our hope is that our listeners will get something from this deep, honest, and real conversation from the viewpoint of both a Licensed Professional Counselors and a Licensed Social Worker.

Hey guys its RJ, Unique, and Kalhil! In today's episode we're going to be discussing Socially Acceptable Behavior. Socially acceptable behaviors are those actions that that are normally viewed as appropriate to engage in when in the presence of others. It's mind blowing that as progressive of a society that we live in 2023, we're still having to discuss what's socially acceptable. For those of you who don't follow sports the NCAA Women's Basketball tournament concluded on April 2nd. What should've been a celebration for a "lifetime of hard work a dedication" all culminating with the winning of a national championship by LSU turned into media spectacle. What made it a spectacle was when one of the winning players, Angel Reese hit the John Cena in the direction of one of the players on the opposing team Caitlin Clark. Caitlin, coincidentally had done the exact same thing 48 hours previously when her team beat the University of South Carolina. What makes this interesting is that when Caitlin did the John Cena it was seen as competitive, but when Angel did it, it was seen as classless and a sign of a poor sport. Please join us as we discuss this topic. Our hope is that our listeners will get something from this deep, honest, and real conversation from the viewpoint of both a Licensed Professional Counselors and a Licensed Social Worker.

Hey guys it's RJ and Unique! In today's episode we're going to be discussing Violence in Schools. I know that we have all heard at one point in time that children are our future. To prepare children for the future, we send them to school for them to learn and assist them with obtaining the things necessary at that next stage in life. Making sure that children have a learning environment that is safe and conducive for growth and development is a major priority for a multitude of agencies and organizations as well as parents. Aas we tune into the news we have been able to see that there has been a steady increase in the number of school shootings with each passing decade. In the 2020s alone there have been at least 126, with 8 occurring in March of 2023. Even though school violence is not a new  phenomenon, ensuring the safety of the students in attendance remains a major concern. In today's episode we're going to have a deep, real, and honest conversation to speak Violence in Schools. Our hope is that our listeners will get something from this deep, honest, and real conversation from the viewpoint of both a Licensed Professional Counselors and a Licensed Social Worker.

Hey guys it's RJ, Unique, and Kalhil! In today's episode we're going to be discussing Representation Mattering. Being the "only" or the "token" in a sea of majorities is something that as African Americans we learned to embrace. Representation in everyday life is essential. We all want to feel that we belong and that we can either relate to something or someone. Ever since we were children we consumed comics, movies, and cartoons where there weren't always protagonist/ main characters that looked like us, sounded like us, or came from where we came from. As society has become more progressive, we have come a long way in embracing people of many different nationalities, races, religions, creeds, sexual orientations, as well as socioeconomic background. This growth towards inclusion and away from exclusion has seen so many positive changes occur that I thought it was important that we talk about it in today's episode. Our hope is that our listeners will get something from this deep, honest, and real conversation from the viewpoint of both a Licensed Professional Counselors and a Licensed Social Worker.
