The Semicolonies Podcast
Stacey Amoako
Mental health unfiltered. A podcast for people who choose, every single day, to live. We fight for our minds and give ourselves the gift of pausing when life gets heavy - pausing to just BE a human BEING until we have the strength to get back up because we choose to keep going.
How To Be Calming Down In Your 20s
POV: You are a 20-something year-old. The pressure is intense to make something of your life. Your mates are doing big things, and you are too, but you feel like you're not doing enough. You want to live a life of enjoyment and you want to amass all the resources now... because you want to be comfortable. You just want to be happy.  Can relate?

What You See Is What You Become
You've heard about "Make it make sense"... but have you heard about making your senses make sense? yes? yes? no? This word play failed, didn't it.... But anyway, in this episode, Stacey elaborates on the crucial role played by our five senses in maintaining our internal mental balance. More specifically, she discusses the sense of sight and how what we choose to fixate our eyes on goes a long way to influence our days, weeks, months, years, and eventually, our lifetime.

Men Cry Too - A Rant Off My Chest
Crying is not "a feminine thing", let's start there. It is as universal an act as breathing. In this episode, Stacey rants about the outdated assertion that real men don't cry, the effects of emotional suppression on the mental wellbeing of men, and urges us to remind the men in our lives that there is nothing embarrassing about feeling the feels. #crybrocry

Prove What, To Whom, And Why
Alas! Stacey returns from hibernation with a refreshing zest for life. In this episode, we break free from the need to prove ourselves to people for justification. We discuss how breathtaking the universe is, and in a rather ZEN big finish, we remind ourselves of why it is okay for us to breakdown sometimes. ~Music used in compliance with licensing agreement~ Hope by Audiozada http://bit.ly/audiozadaYT Promoted By FreeVlogMusic.com https://youtu.be/CNWcyNYVeec

What Even is "The Semicolon"
I read somewhere that, if my depression wants to kill me that badly, it should grow some hands and feet and do so itself instead of convincing me to do it like a little *bleep*. This week, I've got a story time for you! Let's get into Amy Bleuel's story, why you should check in on your strong friends, and what the semicolon means to me and my friends whom I may or may not have threatened to send me audios.
