    EP. 20 Your Life Story Matters with Jas Rawlinson

    Everyone has a unique story. Everything that you've been through and overcome, the highs and the lows, the ups and downs, the failures and victories... all of it is important. Because it's you. Your life story is meaningful and matters. This week we are joined by author, book coach, and resilience speaker, Jas Rawlinson. She shares about her own personal story of growing up and turning to writing to escape from the family violence in her home. Jas opens up about the biggest tragedy in her young life and how she managed to recover and honor her mental health and personal relationships going forward. As a memoir book coach for those who want to share their life's journey, she believes that everyone has a story with the power to inspire, impact, and change lives. Plus, we talk with Jas about her latest book just released, Volume 3 of her book series, Reasons to Live.   Website: DoINeedTherapy.com  Instagram: @aprileandelle Twitter: @aprileandelle Newsletter: Sign Up here:

    EP. 19 Mind, Music, and Mental Health with Allen C. Paul

    Pianist, Allen C. Paul, has made his career as a professional musician playing big and small stages across the country and beyond. But he's also a teacher, author, podcaster, and overall creative, not to mention husband and father.   In this episode, we talk with Allen about his life and the many lessons that made him into the man and artist he is today. We listen to what his music means to him and how he works on his mind and mental health diligently, as we all should. He talks about his journey with both faith and therapy as supports in managing his depression and ADHD as well as his creativity.   Plus, Allen shares why he does not believe in "the starving, struggling artist", but instead the artist who can grow his talent while honoring God AND being more balanced, blessed, and abundant in life. And, of course, we talk with Allen about his excellent podcast and community of fellow artists and creatives.   Website: DoINeedTherapy.com  Instagram: @aprileandelle Clubhouse: @aprileandelle Newsletter: Sign Up here:

    EP. 18 Faith and Therapy: Can You Talk to God and a Therapist?

    Being a Christian, going to church, and seeking prayer is a comfort to so many. Our faith, beliefs, religions, and spiritualities shape the very nature of who we are. But when in need, faith and religion do not have to cancel out the need for therapy. Nor does going to therapy or counseling mean that you've given up or become weak in your faith or beliefs. Plus, in the black church community, therapy is far too stigmatized when we need help. My guest, Minister Sheena Rolle, shares the reminder of how faith and therapy can be very complimentary in our journey of wellness. She reminds, all good things come from God. Together, we discuss the church's role of pastoral counseling and new partnerships with outside mental health support, plus therapists and other mental health professionals taking on Christian counseling as a trained specialty and certification, each to address people in need of help which blends these two worlds. Talking to God and a therapist should not be seen as a conflict. And it can even be a great source of strength as well as an unexpected and surprising opportunity to deepen your faith.

    EP. 17 How To Do Clothing, Fashion, and Style To Promote Positive Mental Health

    Clothing, fashion, and style are the culminations of how we dress and the behaviors that correspond at particular moments in time. Today, those things have become deeply connected to self expression, but also to our perceived identities and status. To the latter, these factors can have a negative impact on how we see ourselves if we are not dressed "to the nines".   But, my guest, Elizabeth Lewis, shares the reminder of how we can dress in our everyday to better our mental health in alignment with our "Style Wellness". We talk tips and tricks on ways to always look and ultimately feel your best. Plus, some insight on color psychology and how you can utilize it to boost your mood.   Website: DoINeedTherapy.com  Instagram: @aprileandelle Twitter: @aprileandelle Newsletter: Sign Up here:
