Welcome Back! In this episode, join me and Tracy Vadakumchery AKA TheBadIndianTherapist, as we talk through some tough stuff - mental health, identity, boundaries, shame, and guilt. We're breaking down the stigma around mental health, especially in communities of color. We're also talking about how our identities can impact our mental health, why it's so important to set boundaries to protect ourselves AND how we can set boundaries in our relationships. And let's get real about shame and guilt - we've all been there. We're sharing our own experiences and offering some tips on how to move past those feelings. It's all about self-awareness, self-compassion, and getting support when we need it. I hope conversation is a safe space for you, and makes you feel heard. As always, reach out to me, even if it is just for a chat. Love you :) You deserve the help you need.
