Von M.
As a mother of 3, educator, and mental health professional in training, it’s important to build rapport/relationships as you never know where something or someone may take you. As we are constantly on the go, we don’t take that time to reflect on the importance of our mental wellbeing and how we can improve it through the work we do on ourselves. My goal as is to inform, uplift, and discuss as we go on this journey called life together. -Yvonne M.

Episode 39: "WTH Is A Mother Wound?"
According to PsychologyToday , “The best way to think of the mother wound is a loss or a lack of mothering. This is typically a deficit in the mother-daughter or mother-son relationships that is passed down through generations, and it is a reflection on how we have experienced parenting and how we parent.”This doesn’t just apply to mother-daughter relationships, but it also applies to mother-son relationships!

Episode 36: What About Your Friends?
So I’m a bit excited about this episode as it was requested by one of our listeners!Honestly, friendship has its own meeting between people. Whether you have one friend or seven, you establish those bonds with one another and also those boundaries or friendship.I will tell you, often we don’t give our relationships initial boundaries or standards for how we want to be treated, so we’re gonna explore that in this episode as well.Depending on how you grew up, because a lot of things that we exhibit are what we learn in childhood, you may have certain standards for your friends.So, let’s get into what a friendship REALLY means. #podcasters #podcast #blackwomenpodcasters #blackwomen #podcasting #love #humanrace #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness
