  • Anxiety and OCD: Recognizing and Dealing Wit' It

    The title is a joke btw. Sorry this is a day late MY REMINDER DIDN'T GO OFF. This episode is apart of our mental health series. In this episode, Celine and I tackle the importance of talking about mental illness. Todays episode is about anxiety and OCD and the daily struggles of experiencing it. Celine has actually dealt and has been diagnosed with these illnesses, so she gives personal tips and shared her experiences in hope to educate and make other struggling with the same things feel supported. We also talk about common feelings, symptoms, how it consumes you, how many kids have it, stigmas around these mental health conditions and how you can get help, as well as how others who don't experience mental illness can help those who do. Enjoy, and feel free to let us know if you have anything you'd like to hear from us or privately talk to us about!

  • What is the Black Lives Matter movement really about?
    In this episode we talk about what BLM really is and its importance in our society. We give background on how it started, and describe the stories on some victims of police brutality, including Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, and George Floyd. We think along with talking about publicized victims, we should also talk about lesser known cases such as Elijah McClain, because they truly need to be addressed. We then really dive into how you can help and be involved in our society, as well as help our fellow citizens in the African American community.
