In the Open

I am so grateful I came across this podcast. I am able to relate to EVERYTHING that these ladies discuss. It is so nice to be understood. Thank you for the amazing service you are providing by just being yourselves ☮️💚☮️

It’s one thing to read articles about various mental health issues, or watch/listen to people recite those same signs and symptoms. It’s another—and so refreshing—to hear from those living with the same concerns you have, talking about them in relatable terms. (For example, America answering back to her brain: “Dude!”) Listening to In The Open is like sitting down for lunch with friends you didn’t know you had. Each episode I’ve heard so far also serves as a reminder that none of us is the ONLY one thinking of what we’re going through.

Right on time (pandemic & more) in-depth exploration & vulnerable discourse - thank you, America Paredes & Theresa Nguyen ! I listen to Therapy for Black Girls often with Dr. Joy Harden which centers intergenerational trauma. Your podcast definitely adds a lot to my knowledge about mental health as a Black woman artist in the Midwest.

I really enjoy this podcast it’s so honest and such a breath of fresh air. I feel this is a podcast anyone from any walk of life can relate to these topics one way or another. I love listening to these ladies give their eye opening points of view.
