    Ep. 68: Why I'm Leaving Mental Health

    I have worked as a counselor for the last 10 years.  Recently, I decided to begin a transition out of mental health.  There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes within the industry, and today, I am lifting the veil on a few of the reasons why I feel compelled to make this shift in my life.
     
    We’ll Discuss:
    How I ended up in mental health to begin with The business of mental health in the Black community Lack of cultural education amongst non-POC therapists

    Ep. 66: Parents Just Don't Understand

    Ep. 66: Parents Just Don't Understand

    There is a battle brewing across the millennial age spectrum that rarely, if ever, gets talked about.  As we make our best attempts to figure out adulting, many of us also find ourselves defending our decisions to our parents.  It can be difficult for us to understand why they feel so justified in speaking up, so today I’m giving your 3 possible reasons why your parents just don’t understand you and the moves you’re making.
     
    We’ll Discuss:
    How generational differences influence your parents’ ability to understand The most fundamental desire of every parent How you can gain empathy for your parents, even as you establish boundaries with them

    Ep. 65: Finding Your Purpose (LIVE)

    Ep. 65: Finding Your Purpose (LIVE)

    Last week I decided to do a random episode on FB Live and record it. After attending a conference Saturday, I was so inspired and wanted to share that inspiration with you.  
     
    One of the top questions millennials (young and old) are asking ourselves is “What is my purpose?”  We know that we are not where we used to be, but also that we are not where we want to be either. It’s hard feeling like your stuck in a place that doesn’t give you any fulfillment.  
     
    Today we’re talking about what it really takes to find your purpose and create the kind of life you deserve.
     
    We’ll Discuss:
    The role of authenticity in purpose fulfillment Why you are struggling to find your purpose How your facade is preventing you from building a support network

    Ep. 63: Give It Up

    Mardi Gras is officially behind us and the Lenten season has come.  Christians believe that you are supposed to give something up as a replication of the sacrifice Jesus made for the 40 days he spent in the desert. Most people give up tangible things like cold drinks or candy, but this year, I would like for you to consider giving up something that will have a much more meaningful impact on your life. So, today, we’re gonna talk about 4 things you should give up for lent that will help you along your personal journey of healing and manifestation.
     
    We’ll discuss:
    How and why your feelings are always valid The benefit of letting go of toxic people and relationships Relieving yourself of the expectations of others Allowing others to take responsibility for their shit

    Ep. 62: Standing Naked In The Mirror

    Ep. 62: Standing Naked In The Mirror

    Every week I get naked for ya’ll.  I strip away my fears and allow myself to be vulnerable because I know that you need me to.  I truly believe in the power of sharing our stories with each other, especially the stories that make us feel uncomfortable.  So, yes, I do this for you. But in reality, I do it for me more than anything.
    Getting naked, is a surefire way to see yourself in your purest, most raw form- literally and figuratively.  For many, the idea of nakedness evokes a fear that they are not sure they can handle. Today, we are talking about how to confront that fear, get comfortable with being naked, and strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.
    We’ll discuss:
    How the fear of being naked affects our relationships The benefit of shedding your clothes The steps involved in truly getting naked
