Dr. Ciara Dennis-Morgan is the Clinical Coordinator at Minority Behavioral Health Group, a psychologist, yoga instructor, my best friend, and wife. She discusses her upbringing here in Akron as daughter of parents in ministry and how they were intentional on her having a "normal" experience. Ciara shares how she learned the instilling of values through everyday actions, and how loving people is key to her living her purpose. She also breaks down the importance of overall health and wellness, specifically mental health as it relates to Black people and why talk therapy is valuable. Ciara focuses on using yoga and breath-work as a tool to understand the union between body and spirit which can be instrumental in enhancing self-awareness and appreciating self-worth. This episode was recorded shortly after we found out we were expecting our first child and so we look forward to having Ciara back on the pod to share her experience as a new mother to our son.
