In this Week's Episode, we talk about men's mental health with our dear friend Lincoln! Often times men are made to feel like they have to suppress their emotions and not seek help in fear of looking weak or unmasculine. We are here to help break that stigma. Men are human, and it's ok to not be ok. we discuss ways that women can show up for men and dealing with mental health in relationships and more!

This Week's Episode
Our fears contribute to our mental health issues such as our depression and anxiety, and they become these invisible but totally debilitating, overpowering, destructive forces in our lives.
Radical honesty (RH) is casually referenced as, practicing complete honesty and refraining from telling even white lies. The phrase was trademarked in 1997 as a technique and self-improvement program based on the best-selling book "Radical Honesty" by Brad Blanton.

We have a special guest Jada, an NCA&T colleague who shares her knowledge and experience with an autoimmune disease. There is definitely not enough information and support around this topic considering such high percentages that are affecting black women which is why this conversation with Jada is so necessary. We both are so inspired by her mission! During this episode we talk more about her non-profit, how she became more confident, authentic, and managed anxiety while being diagnosed with Hidradenitis suppurativa.
