Beating Back The Blues
About the Episode
As the stigma around mental health lifts, more and more Black women are opening up about their mental health struggles. In this episode, we discuss finding solutions to healing through the storm.
“Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean that thing is good for you . . . one of the things that I’ve learned over my journey with my mental health is that the most important thing is my mental wellness.”
“We believe that we’ve got to handle everything . . . Stress can become depression. Once we feel overwhelmed and unable to cope [you need a plan] so that you can master whatever the situation is [and] feel empowered.”
“We find ourselves in social isolation . . . it’s very easy to sit in your home and not be engaged . . . [but] those are exactly the moments in which you need to engage.”
