The Little Mental Health Project

After a very long break, Mwai and I are back with another episode! We spoke about everything and nothing. And we definitely were feeling like Puuurrrr, as inspired by my little cousin Gome who you guessed right is someone who was born after 2000!Enjoy!

Now you know with everything going on around us it will undoubtedly have an effect on our mental health. In this episodeof The Little Mental Health Project, Mwai and I talk a little about the intersection between the cost of living and our mental health....it was a little bit of a rant...because it's allowed. Encouraged even...

Happy New Year! We are so thankful for your continued support! Absolutely feel grateful to have you as our listeners. In this epidsode Mwai is back! I know the lot of you kept asking of her return. This was such a refreshing episode and very therapeutic for me. Mwai truly creates a safe space and makes it very easy to share. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did recording it!

As the relationship trauma series continues, Tilinao and I spoke about Abuse. We often think abuse is just someone raising their hands to hit someone, but there are many forms of abuse. So fitting that this episode comes on the 5th day of the 16 days of Activism.

In this episode, Tilinao who is a counseling Psychologist and I continue on with the Relationship Trauma episode. We spoke about Cheating/Infidelity and the effects it has on ones Mental Health. As always Tilinao is very insightful and eloquent and really knows her stuff. Enjoy.

For the first time on the Podcast, I sat down with Tilinao Lamba who is a clinical psychologist. We initially planned on talking about different topics regarding relationship trauma but figured we wouldn't be doing the topic justice. We settled on talking about Ghosting. This was such an insightful conversation and I thoroughly enjoyed picking Tilinao's brain!

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Mwai and I chatted about the alarming numbers of the increasing suicide rates especially amongst men. We often ask each other to be kind to each other, to create safe spaces for one another. Are these just conversations we are just having and not actually actively doing the work when we are done chatting about it on social media? Are men creating safe spaces for each other. Let us create a space that allows for people to exist in a way that allows for them to flourish. Let us get to Zero.

In this episode, Mwai and I sat down with Prof. Caroline Kautsire who is originally from Malawi and now lives in Boston, USA. She is an English professor and the author of the books, What Kind of Girl? and Some Girl, can you tell we named our podcast after one of her books 🤭. Caroline is a mentor at Brown University for the Women's Launch Pad program and a keynote speaker in Boston. She is also a philanthropist who gives motivational speeches in Malawi, Boston, and beyond. In this KIND OF PODCAST, Caroline was brave enough to share for the first time her struggle with Bipolar and overcoming adversity. It was truly an insightful conversation and we were honored to have hosted her! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording this podcast. ❤️

We often talk about Men's Mental Health on account of the rising number of men succumbing to suicide. And the numbers aren't going down. What conversations need to happen? What work do we need to do to see these numbers come to zero? We sat down with Gareth and Khama who shared what they think is necessary to create safe spaces for men. It was an insightful conversation we hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.

Mwai and I chat about life being overwhelming and how to get ahead by doing your work as it is given to you. This was such a sweet conversation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.
