    Happy Anniversary Brown Girl Fam! 
It is amazing to us that we released our first episode in October 2019 - a full year ago. So much has happened in our world since then, and we are grateful that you have stayed with us as we continued to explore the importance mental health and wellness in our lives.

    Reclaiming Maarte - APAHM & Mental Health Awareness Month 2020

    NOTE: This is a previously recorded episode completed in the month of May to honor Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month. It was recorded several days before the outrage and protests broke out in response to the muders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, along with countless others. We held off on releasing this episode in order to support the Black lives matter movement and to avoid taking attention away from the critical issues at hand. The movement for justice and equaity is both a relay and a marathon. As we find our place in the revolution, we acknowlege that Asian Americans, and Filipinos in particular, have been complicit in systems of injustice towards Black communities. We stand against racism in all forms. Black Lives Matter. Over the past week of listening, learning, and advocating, we are realizing that the intersection of mental health and race are more relevant than ever in the current climate. We hope this episode inspires and encourages you to take care of you personal wellness and to not shy away from hard conversations with your family and community. —————————————— How does our identity as Asian (Filipina) Americans shape our relationship with mental health? In this episode we tackle the impact that being the children of Asian immigrants has on our relationship with mental health and therapy. We share our stories of our childhood and how culture shaped our identity. We talk about the dominant message we told ourselves about emotion and the internalized fear of being “maarte” (slang for drama queen.) We hash out our experiences with our first therapy appointments and and barriers to therapy. We also talk about we look for when “dating around” for a therapist and what we look for in “the one.” Note: CBT is the acronym for cognitive behavioral therapy. Finally we share what we love about being Filipina. Again, we hope this episode inspires and encourages you to take care of your personal wellness and to not shy away from hard conversations with your family and community.
