Episode Description

Hi, my name is Jess, I’m a Latina in my mid 30’s I’m a mom & wife, and I am diagnosed with GAD & Panic disorder. It’s an honor to be on here to speak my truths about my mental health & advocate for this movement with James. I want to continue to break the stigmas about mental illness among our communities of people of color. I have my blog called She’s Hiatus. It's my muse of self-expression through my writing from poetry, my life experiences & fictional pieces. I'm also introducing a movement called “she’s hiatus,” which serves as a reminder that it’s essential to stop & smell the roses. Life is full of hustle & bustle. We need to allow ourselves to go hiatus to work on ourselves, do things that we enjoy, be present with ourselves & loved ones by keeping those moments simple, private & just BE. 

Learning how to find balance in life and especially managing our virtual life nowadays is so important for our mental health & overall well-being since it can be so time-consuming. I also feature a remarkable collection of stories from amazing & brave women called “Her Story.” This collective brings a voice to women of color that share their personal life experiences with me & the world. This ongoing project holds great sentimental value with me & it’s an honor to be part of it.
