    32: Black Women’s Mental Health, Self-Harm Recovery and Addiction.

    Bonus video edition! I haven’t felt this excited to share an episode as much as I am with this one. This is a journey that I have written about on other platforms, Medium and Substack, and now I have a whole episode talking about my journey with the recovery and healing. Things we talk about: ♥︎ The stigma around self-harming. ♥︎ Why do we self-harm (going beyond the personal to what we have been facing as a collective, including racism and the necessity to decolonise) ♥︎ Shifting to healthier coping mechanisms ♥︎ The role of my spirituality as part of my healing and recovery. As part of your healing and recovery, I recommend therapy / counselling, services / healing services. Having a non-judgmental and compassionate space where you can discuss self-harming and unpack the reasons behind it helps a lot. ✯✯✯ Thank you for being here. 💗Please like / share / follow/rate this podcast, it helps to boost it so it can reach more beautiful souls and helps me with my journey of being a creative soulpreneur too! ✯✯✯ Check out more of my work, including my Substack newsletter and books out now via my website.
