Episode 14: “¡Salud!: A Toast to Mental & Emotional Health”

We are continuing our discussions in acknowledgement of #MinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth for the entire month of July! This week we're highlighting the efforts of Mental Health America (MHA)and their #MyStoryMyWay campaign and proposing a toast to being fearless about seeking support when needed, to erasing stigma in our own circles about defining mental health and shedding labels, and to feeling empowered to speak up on behalf of ourselves and those who cannot in an effort to raise the bar on the conversation around mental health and wellness. ¡Salud!

There's also a brief discussion about popular OWN series, "Love Is____" and it's connection to #mentalhealth and #wellness! Tune in now!

Episode 13: "The Cost of Loyalty"

We all like to think of ourselves as good people and people who are willing to be there for others and support those that we care for who we assume would do the same for us. Sometimes we call this friendship, sometimes we call this love, but at the core it's really about one key character trait: loyalty. Tune in as Dr. Poole discusses the true definition of loyalty and both the benefits and negative consequences of choosing loyalty to another over oneself.
