I have always been viewed as "mother" among friends and family; even at a young age. Whenever someone is in need of advice and/or guidance, they come to me; they even refer others to me. I use the logic and common sense that my father instilled in me, to help others. Now, I'd like to help more than just those who are around me. Part of how I can help others is to share my own personal stories. Hopefully, they will relate to anyone going through the same things I've been through. Having someo ...

I have learned that, in life, sometimes we have to know when to take a break (or even quit, if necessary). If something is meant to be, life will bring it back around. We have to be patient and trust & believe that. I took some time away to assess this new goal I placed in my life; I needed to know if it was serving me and more importantly, was I s…

We are human so naturally, we are going to desire being petty at times. Most Life Coaches, Motivational Speakers or Mental Health Guru's would tell us to "rise above it". Often times we are left asking, "How?". Well, I do something very simple to help me rise above; I weigh the Pros and Cons of the situation. I ask myself, 'if I choose the petty ro…

Most people seem to date effortlessly, but not me. I often feel like I couldn't date to save my own life. Now, it's normal for dating to bring about anxiety, but not to the degree that I experience it. My anxiety with dating is so bad that I have never officially been in a relationship; I have avoided it like the plague. I know it has to do with me…

I know I didn't have thousands of listeners yet, but it's disheartening to lose all of the ones I had. I just post an episode, venting about my mental health struggles, as it relates to being a black woman in this country. I said, in that episode, that no one really cares what Black Women go through in this country. I guess I was right; because nex…

Let me preface this by saying, be cautious with the volume at around 15-17 minutes in; I accidentally drop my phone. When I get better equipment, I'll be able to edit, better. Anyway, I have a few stories wrapped in one to describe this title. One experience, in particular, exemplifies the dichotomy of anxiety and spirituality. In one moment my fai…

I have relied, heavily, on my spirituality throughout my struggle with mental health. Today, I am sharing a personal and fun story about how my spirituality and personal relationship with God, helped me through one of the toughest anxiety battles of my life; thus far. Kick back relax and prepare for takeoff (once you listen, you'll get it lol 😉). T…

I never really wanted to bring race into my discussions, but it is relevant right now. I feel like I am not being sincere if I don't talk about ALL of the struggles I face that have impacted my mental health; even the struggles that are related to uncomfortable topics. I also hate that I feel the need to apologize and warn that I mean no offense; I…

According to the World Health Organization, Depression affects over 300 million people worldwide. The World Health Organization even states that Depression is comparably just as debilitating as stage 4 cancer. I share this with you to hopefully enlighten those who think depression is just laziness; it's not. It is a disorder that is hard to cure an…

People who have never had or experienced any form of anxiety, may not know how to handle a person with this type of disorder. If you are like me, you have experienced a lot of easily frustrated people, who can't or won't take the time to try and empathize with you and your struggle with anxious thoughts and feelings. Most people think it's a joke o…

Hey y'all. So this is the last anxiety disorder on the list; and you guessed it, I actually did have this form of anxiety, too. I was talking big stuff about never having experienced this one, all the while, it was hiding in my past. Anyway, it feels good to share this and I hope it makes y'all feel good to hear it. I thank you all, so much, for li…

Like I have said before, I have struggled with almost every kind of anxiety there is. Today, I am sharing my battle with OCD. It got kind of bad, y'all. I am doing a lot better with the help of therapy; group and solo sessions. According to The National Institute of Mental Health (my favorite source), childhood sexual and physical abuse can play a …

I was diagnosed with PTSD in my early twenties. It's not easy, but life can still be worth living if you can find ways to manage it and find a community of support. Prayer and meditation goes a long way. I just hope people struggling with PTSD don't give up the fight. We are not alone. We have each other. Speak your truth and free yourself; heart, …

I feel like I have had every type of Anxiety Disorder there is. In today's episode, I want to discuss my bout with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. According to the Mayo Clinic, this form of anxiety can last for a few years or even a lifetime. For those of you suffering from it, I feel your pain. I've been there, but now I am out (for now and God will…

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health disorders, in our country; possibly even the world. According to the ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association of America), over 40 million Americans, aged 18 and older, are affected by some form of anxiety. I am one of those 40 million Americans. However, I have learned many ways to cope with and mana…

In life, we are led to believe things will make us happy. If we just have a lot of money and don't have to worry about bills, we will automatically have happiness. It takes a long time to realize that this isn't true; some of us never figure that out. True happiness comes from other avenues in life that don't directly relate to money. When we find …

Sometimes it seems like other people are so much smarter, prettier, faster, more efficient and just all around better than us. When we are around these people, we feel low and self conscious. However, I was thinking, what makes us think that these people are ACTUALLY better than us? What in us makes us believe that to be true and why do we even wan…

Hey ya'll! Sometimes in life, bad things happen and its cause could very well be karma. We aren't perfect; we don't need to be. However, when we do wrong, hurtful things to others, Karma could be sent to help us correct that behavior. Karma can teach us the lesson of how it feels to receive the bad that we have given to others. Thank you for listen…

When people tell you something, do you believe it without requiring proof. We know the answer to this question should be "no!". However, often times, its yes. Looking for proof is too hard and time consuming. Often times we try to trust our guts and just keep it moving. However, sometimes the gut is driven by fear; the fear that what our parents an…

Today was my day off from work and I was feeling a little blah. I didn't necessarily feel like doing a podcast, but I still wanted to. I guess the habit is forming. In doing my post anyway, I fell into two topics. I hope you can follow, because what came up was so unexpected. But hey, no perfection required; only growth and evolution, right? Anyway…

The measure you give a man is the measure that is given unto you. We can't expect perfection from others when there is no way we can ever be perfect. We stress out over never making mistakes and have no mercy on ourselves because we are overly aggressive when others make mistakes and we show no mercy on them.…
