THIS WEEK IS SPONSORED BY BEING 5 MINUTES AWAY

— EPISODE 059: YOU NEED A THERAPIST! —

This week is very special! We recorded this episode at the Intentional Wellness Group with LaBreyia Ellis, MA , LPC. Ahead of the episode, we opened up the lines for our listeners to ask questions of a licensed professional. We discuss the difficulty of getting to therapy and the many unique challenges that we face as Black people. Rather than focusing on any of the craziness happening in politics and pop culture this week, we dedicated the entire show to answering your questions and making the case for living your best life.
