This is an episode that is super powerful, thought-provoking, and a real conversation about choosing yourself with intention, honoring your boundaries, and staying rooted in who you truly are.

In this energizing episode, Dr. NaKaisha dives deep into the power of personal values. Values are our guiding principles that shape our choices, protect our peace, and steer us through emotional storms. When we ignore our internal GPS, we invite mental health gremlins like shame, burnout, and emotional whiplash to take the wheel. But, as we align with what truly matters, clarity and resilience will follow. This episode will explore ways in which values impact our mental health, relationships, and personal growth, with practical tips to realign and recharge. So, tune in for laughter, insight, and a friendly nudge to live on purpose while honoring your values. "Your values are not just words. Your values are your soul's compass. When life gets loud, listen inward." — Dr. NaKaisha

As Audre Lorde reminds us, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation." Tune in, get inspired, and start your journey back to the most important person in your life, YOU!

As the back-to-school season rolls in, some of us may feel a familiar tug of nostalgia. In this episode, Dr. NaKaisha explores how revisiting back to school memories can actually boost mental health.

Learn how remembering can spark resilience, foster optimism, and even inspire positive change, even through the challenges going back to school may bring for some.

Life after a significant loss or transition, whether it is through grief, divorce, job loss, relocation, new parenthood, or shifting relationships, can mark the beginning of a "year of firsts." The first holiday alone, the first new job interview, the first sleepless night with a newborn, or the first silence where laughter once lived, can be quietly shattering, often steeped in loneliness, emotional baggage, and a lingering sense of isolation. Research reveals that over 60% of individuals experiencing major life transitions report moderate to severe emotional distress in the first year (American Psychological Association, 2023). Join Dr. NaKaisha, this Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, to explore the emotional terrain of that first year, illuminating pathways toward healing through support systems, therapeutic practices, community connection, and intentional coping strategies. This episode will offer insight into how individuals can honor their vulnerability while rebuilding purpose, identity, and connection. As poet David Whyte writes, "Grief can be the form of hope that has lost its way." The journey through a year of firsts is not simply survival, it is a defined recalibration of what it means to belong, to evolve, and to heal forward.  To Our Listeners The content shared on My Feelings Over Tea Podcast is intended for informational and reflective purposes only.

Society often tells men to be strong, to hold it together, to push through pain in silence. But true strength lies in vulnerability. In honor of Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, we're breaking down the barriers that keep men from seeking help, building support systems, and embracing the healing they deserve. Join Dr. NaKaisha for a powerful conversation with Tony Lynch, Founder of the Global Grief Network, as we unpack the stigma surrounding male grief and explore how stress, addictions, and expectations shape the way men show up in their pain. Grief does not equate to weakness. It is a true testament to love, loss, and the courage to heal. Let's shift the narrative. Let's talk. Let's support one another. Let's reduce loneliness and isolation. Let's heal—together. Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for informational and discussion purposes only.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time dedicated to breaking the stigma, fostering understanding, and encouraging self-care. Change is an inevitable part of life, but when faced with transitions, personal growth, or healing, it can feel daunting. Whether it's taking the first step toward therapy, setting boundaries, or embracing a new direction in life, bravery in these moments is transformative. Healing isn't just about fixing what feels broken—it's about discovering new pathways that nurture resilience, peace, and self-compassion. At the core of this journey is our sense of self—an anchor that allows us to move through uncertainty with confidence. A strong self-identity helps us navigate emotions, make choices aligned with our values, and create inner stability amid life's shifts. True healing comes when we recognize our own worth, listen to our inner needs, and allow space for growth without judgment. When we embrace change and honor our mental well-being, we cultivate a life built on clarity, strength, and deep inner peace.  Buckle up and join Dr. NaKaisha as she has a nourishing conversation with Cesar Cardona, Public Speaker, Writer, and Mindfulness Educator. Cesar will impart how he embraced change through various aspects of his life, and how mindfulness became a pillar for him in his life. You don't want to miss this enlightening conversation.
