"Queendom Care" Series: M;nd Ya Mental w/ Twanna Anderson

What are you doing for your mental?

The mind is the second pillar in the Queendom Care Series and Twanna Anderson is my special guest.

Twanna Anderson is the co-founder of the encouraging organization, Whenupray, Author of “Anxiety is Not Me” and creator of The M;nd Ya Mental Experience, a platform dedicated to providing online and hands-on resources for Mental Wellness. 

In today's episode, Twanna and I have a conversation about mental wellness and steps we can do to nurture our mental as well as show ourselves some "self-care".  She recommends seeing a therapist.  You do not have to have years of trauma to speak with a therapist.  This idea has been frowned upon in the black community, but as the years go by, we are seeing more and more African Americans have conversations and doing the work "on the couch".  Twanna also says, massages, working out and yoga have great benefits to combat anxiety and help in mental wellness.  Self-care may look different for each person and that's okay.  Self-care can be coloring, resting, watching tv, taking a bath, and even having some alone time.  Journaling is also a powerful way to learn patterns and triggers and to even see how far you've come.
