Deep and hilarious! Here is another episode where we explore the concept of safe spaces from a man's perspective. Jeff & Mwende had an engrossing chat – you'll laugh, learn, and be challenged. As a guy, Jeff will help you put words into some of the things you've gone through; while as a woman, he guides us on how to understand men. In either case, this episode gives us all ways in which we can be more empathetic toward people around us. Listen, share with a friend who needs it and let us know what you think about this episode.
This episode may seem out of the norm, but we hope it will offer something refreshingly different. Mwende sat down with three teenagers who opened up about what safe spaces meant to them in light of their own experiences… As you listen, keep in mind how your teenage years may have influenced your perspective on safe spaces–we would love to hear from you!
On your New Year's Resolutions, you likely wrote down something that you'd like to do differently this year. You are not alone! We've all tried to change something in ourselves before or influence a behavior change in someone else. And there isn't a recipe for success; there are different approaches depending on the situation. Listen here as we go over some of those ways and explain why some strategies won't work even if you put in tons of effort!
We'd love to hear from you, let us know if there was anything you found really interesting!
After talking about thoughts and feelings for five consecutive episodes, now it's time to talk about what we believe is one of the most important aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Body Sensations! To start off, Mwende will walk us through a body scan exercise. An easy-to-do practice that you can include in your everyday routine to find out which parts of your body you're hiding stress in. By paying attention to these signals – whether they are pleasurable or just plain uncomfortable – you'll be able to understand yourself better than ever before.
Our minds can play tricks on us; and often these tricks leave us feeling inadequate. What can you do when these thoughts cross your mind and make you feel like you don't measure up? In this episode, we explore techniques for handling those negative thoughts for a healthier and happier life.
