Try Not To Overthink It

Hey guys it's RJ, Chasmine, and Kalhil! In today’s episode we're going to be speaking on Positive Self Worth. We all from time to time lack confidence, question or doubt ourselves, or even criticize ourselves. If this is happening frequently you may be experiencing low self-esteem and not even realize it. As providers we believe that everyone has both worth and value, and we felt that it was imperative that we touch on the subject of establishing Positive Self Worth. When a person has a Positive Self Worth they have both trust and faith in their abilities and themselves. This also means that you think that your thoughts, feelings, and values have and bring worth to every situation that you find yourself in. 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 Unique and RJ! We all have often heard people say that “good relationships require hard work” or that “fights or arguments are normal”. This may be true in some instances, but there is a clear and distinct difference between being in a relationship that is positive and constructive and one that is toxic and detrimental. A toxic relationship is one that makes you feel devalued, taken for granted, unsupported, misunderstood, demeaned, or under attack. Often times a person in a toxic relationship will find their well-being is threatened in some kind of way rather that be mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually. In today’s episode we’re going to take a deep dive into toxic relationships and have a real honest conversation about them. 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 Kalhil! In today’s society, single parent families have become even more common than the “traditional” or “nuclear family” consisting of a mother, father, and children. Presently, we’re seeing all sorts of single parent families led by mothers, fathers, and even by a grandparent raising their grandchildren. Life inside the household of a single parent, although common, can be quite stressful for both the adult and the children. Single parent families deal with many other pressures and potential problem areas that other families may not face. Along with those pressures there also comes misconceptions associated with being a single parent. In today’s episode we decided to bring on someone who has lived experience being both a professional as well as being single parent. Today’s guest, LaKrisha T. Coleman is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in working with children and adults in a variety of settings. She is both the owner of and operator of her private practice, Hearts to Heal Counseling and Consultation, LLC where her mission is to aide in the healing of the most vulnerable pain that is carried from the innocence of childhood into the uncertainty of adulthood. We’re hoping that her testimony can help shed some light on and clear up some misconceptions about what it means to be a single parent. If you interested in inquiring about her services, she can be found at Hearts2healcc.com. As always, 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.

Violence in today’s society has become ever more common. In years past an act of violence would draw massive attention, but now it has become so common that people are no longer stunned by violence covered by the media. It seems like every day we wake up to someone passing away tragically as a result of violence of some kind. This is unacceptable because each life is precious and is irreplaceable, and society should never accept violence or the loss of innocent lives. 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, Kalhil, and Unique! This episode is concerning Being a Man in Today's Society and why it is important. Presently in today's society there is no clear path to guide young men into becoming the best versions of themselves and thriving. With the lack of consistent, positive, and willing grown men to exhibit what "right looks like" a lot of young men find that they have to make their way through life without clear guidance or instruction.  As we grow and evolve it is exceedingly important that we have positive influences whom we can model and emulate.  With this episode our goal is to shed a light on what makes a "man" a "man" in more than just title, but also through his actions. As Dale Carnegie once said, "Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.” 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, Kalhil, and Unique! This episode is concerning Intimacy and why it is important. As social creatures having a closer connection in our relationships and with those around us is of the utmost importance.
