I am communicating less with people not because I don't care but I just feel so disconnected from everyone and despite being a social butterfly, you cannot fill someone up when you are empty and I am currently on my lowest.
I hope this episode lets you in and makes you reflect on your individual battles.

This episode was a heart to heart to the black community about therapy. I discuss how resilient we are as a community which can cause failure to thrive because we feel as though we have it all figured out. We go to the doctor when we are physically sick, why can't we got to a therapist when we're mental and spiritually in demise? This platform was created to make us aware that therapy does not mean failure.
