Aisha Beau Johnson is a self-care writer, digital content creator, and speaker, specializing in beauty, wellness, travel, and mental health. In 2016, after being stopped on numerous occasions by fellow women of color inquiring about her makeup and skincare routine, Aisha decided it was time to create her own platform. AishaBeau.com originated as a beauty blog, but slowly manifested itself into a digital destination covering self-care as a whole. 

In today’s episode, Aisha joins me on the show to talk about self-care, self-love, and how she's gotten to a place of peace. We also talk about her journey with anti-anxiety and anti-depression meds, and her journey with anxiety and depression. It's a great Hey-Girl-Hey conversation that I believe you guys will enjoy. Tune in for details!

How To Choose You Without Being a Dick

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Akua Boateng, Licensed Psychotherapist and Mental Health Consultant. Dr. Boateng was gracious enough to provide answers to some of the real-life questions that I had for her, and I believe the valuable information she shares is worth noting down.

Dr. Boateng is a captivating thought leader and psychological consultant. Her work extends beyond mental health treatment and integrates aspects of career and psychological consultation, which she has done for colleges, artists, young professionals, and non-profit organizations. Through speaking, consulting (organizational re-envisioning, leadership training, workshops, etc) and content writing for various organizations, she lends her psychological knowledge on topics such as emotional growth, professional development, resilience, effective leadership, relationships and spiritual enrichment.

In a nutshell, we speak about:

Extending self-love to yourself in times of feeling depressed and feeling sad. 
How to bounce back (even after lying to your therapist).
Coping mechanisms to get over the loss of someone that's still alive.
Coping skills one can use after witnessing a relative have a near-death experience.
How to navigate mental health problems.
How to support your child if they are going through a gender identity issue.
... and so much more!

It's Been a Long Time Y'all

“The brain can only assume its proper behavior when consciousness is doing what it is designed for: not writhing and whirling to get out of present experience, but being effortlessly aware of it.”
~Alan Watts
Our first instinct when we sense anxiety or panic coming on is to resist it or fight it in hopes that it would go away. What we don't realize is the more you resist anxiety the more anxiety comes. So actually you're anxiety is getting anxious. On today's episode, we are talking about how to understand the anxiety you experience and the best ways you can avoid resisting it.

Resisting Anxiety Makes It Worse

Setting boundaries is one of the most freeing things we could do for ourselves. Not only is it freeing but it is imperative that we do this in our daily lives to minimize some of the situational anxiety that we may feel. In this episode, I am discussing how to set boundaries even if it gives you anxiety.
