Mental health is often overlooked or misunderstood in Malawian society, yet it deeply affects individuals, families, and communities. At The Little Mental Health Project Podcast, we believe that open, honest conversations are essential for healing and change. Through this podcast, we explore real-life experiences, tackle stigma, and raise awareness about mental health challenges and well-being. Co-hosted with Mwai Wirima, our episodes feature diverse voices—from mental health professionals to everyday people, sharing stories, insights, and practical tools for navigating mental health.

The Relationship Trauma(Abuse) Pod

As the relationship trauma series continues, Tilinao and I spoke about Abuse. We often think abuse is just someone raising their hands to hit someone, but there are many forms of abuse. So fitting that this episode comes on the 5th day of the 16 days of Activism.

The One About Relationship Trauma(Ghosting)

For the first time on the Podcast, I sat down with Tilinao Lamba who is a clinical psychologist. We initially planned on talking about different topics regarding relationship trauma but figured we wouldn't be doing the topic justice. We settled on talking about Ghosting.

The Suicide Prevention Pod

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Mwai and I chatted about the alarming numbers of the increasing suicide rates especially amongst men. We often ask each other to be kind to each other, to create safe spaces for one another. Are these just conversations we are just having and not actually actively doing the work when we are done chatting about it on social media? Are men creating safe spaces for each other. Let us create a space that allows for people to exist in a way that allows for them to flourish. Let us get to Zero.

The Pod about Breathwork, Wholesomeness and Everything Inbetween.

Mwai and I did a really different thing on this one. We sat down with Henry who is a meditation and Breathwork instructor, we learnt so much about how Breathwork and meditation can be grounding.
