In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, R.B. and her guest, Dr. Robin Wiley, discuss the evolving understanding of mental health and the growing trend within the medical profession to view mental health as intertwined with physical health. They emphasize that not all mental health concerns are illnesses; many are episodic or short-term. Additionally, mental health issues are often underreported due to the stigma that still surrounds mental illness, particularly in the Black community. Listen to this important topic.

Dr. Wiley highlights the increasing attention given to mental health in elementary schools. This shift acknowledges the significant impact of a child's environment and the pressures they face from their peers. Schools are now more proactive in addressing and supporting the mental well-being of their students, reflecting a broader societal recognition of the importance of mental health from a young age.

In Episode 4 titled, Access Denied: Prioritizing Your Healing, R.B. makes powerful statements by reminding us that healing often requires saying no. Women, especially, can be pressured to maintain connections that drain their energy. Here's why denying access is crucial:

Creates Space: Distance allows you to focus on self-reflection and growth.

Protects Your Energy: Toxic relationships deplete you. Saying no allows you to invest in healthy connections.

Empowers Self-Care: Boundaries prioritizes you and protects your well-being. Saying no creates a safe space for you to heal.

Remember, saying no is not a matter of revenge or being cruel. Denying access is a matter of allowing the healing process to take its course.
