Throughout the pandemic, my love for podcasts has been renewed.  With the reduction of real life connections, I find I can get fatigued from watching videos.  Podcasts are a great alternative that I can access while doing other things at home such as cooking or cleaning. 

Here are a few of my recent discoveries (with links and descriptions from Apple Podcasts):

Fireflies Unite with Kea – Fireflies Unite Podcast With Kea is a weekly podcast from the perspective of individuals thriving with a mental illness created by suicide survivor T-Kea Blackman. The mission of the podcast is to bring light into darkness (just like the fireflies), encourage people of color to seek treatment and end the stigma and raise awareness. We want to show that mental illness does not have “a look”; it includes everyday high-functioning people. The podcast is also designed for people to see how everyday decisions impact their mental health and overall wellness such as finances, relationships, and nutrition. Podcast episodes are available every Monday. Join the conversation and get social!
