If you're in a space where you are trying to align your words and actions with good intentions, this conversation is for you, bestie. Working through hard feelings and different triggers, getting closure with yourself, feeling everything through and taking time to move on from things instead of ignoring the pain, entering partnerships and unlearning ideas and expectations, etc. We are joined by a fairy buff father and friend of the pod, Jaryd

Before we go on vacation we want to leave you with a quick solo, happy and healing episode. Starting the year with some new goals and new intentions in a place of self trust and self fulfillment. We hope you enjoy besties.

We're backkkkkk besties! Bringing in the new year with one of our favorite guests ever, Jenny!

“Shout out to god for protecting me from things I thought I wanted. “ We are grateful for a year full of new connections and old connections re-kindling. We are however even more grateful for all the missed connections of this year. Life has been humbling to say the least and this year has been full of acceptance and following our intuition.

The only way out is truly through. It can be extremely isolating going through personal character developmental changes. Trusting your intuition, learning to surround yourself with the right environment, retaining resilience in your darkest moments, they all sound good as end results but can feel like complete shit while going through. How do you keep going even when it feels like death?? Your trust and connection to yourself, and your connection to others. Reunited with Don B, we hit all the gems in this conversation.

Trust and real connections don't come so easily in life, but when they do, they be hitting. Joined by a friend of the pod, the best hairstylist in town and amazing mama Yanni Hu, we got real with it. Besides the realest anxiety handling advice, which is take a shit (your guts control your brain), we also picked Yanni's brain about growing up in America and building her own life without her parents, becoming a parent herself and navigating through her 10 years plans, and building confidence through hardships and experiences.

The year is coming to an end and so is the cycle of holding onto what isn't serving us. Joined once again by Candace, our beautiful fellow buff mother, we dive into our life forces and now we're connecting to them. With the intention of using the little time we have left of this year to really ground ourselves, we go deep into our self evaluations and how we're doing in our relationship with our body, self and relationship with others.

 Back at it again with another appearance from our favorite ornamental tattoo queen, Kaylee Ruiz!

What makes practicing vulnerability and opening up worth it is attracting and connecting with humans in similar experiences. With impeccable vibes from our guest and friend of the pod, Jencel Gonzalez, today we dive into radical self acceptance. From an educational and compassionate conversation about epilepsy, we compared the experience to other physical disorders with big mental condition impacts like scoliosis, something Jencel is familiar with and is passionate about. We also share our processes of how we fill our own cups so we can show up better for others, and how radical self acceptance is the gateway to operating at your highest self. This Podcast is by two people simply sharing their experiences in dealing with mental health, you are learning as they learn, they aren't the professionals!Follow Mental Chillness on Instagram @Mentalchillnesspodcast - Khanh @megakhanh -Jules @lotsofjuless - Special Guest - Jencel Gonzalez @jenceli - Editor - Jonathan @figsshit_ Support the show

She also shares her thoughts and tips on where to start to buying and investing in houses. Hope you enjoy besties!

There's no denying that money is a leading stressor in most of our lives. Getting money, maintaining and multiplying it is what we all want to do, but where do we start? It can be overwhelming to think about this topic, and even more so if you think that you can't do anything because you don't have a certain amount of money to begin with. But don't worry besties, help and resources are right around the corner! Maggie (Money with Maggie) gives us all the advices we've been needing and makes sense of a lot of things we didn't understand about money and investing in this episode. She offers even more help on her instagram, YouTube channel and also her own courses and programs. Maggie is such a gem and we are so grateful that she's so generous with her knowledge and passion. Enjoy the conversation and make use of Maggie's resources besties!

Joined by the fairy skate mother of Orlando, Dorsa from Wow Rolling, today we are talking all things skating and community related! Both of which have wonderful benefits for the body and mind. Of course starting a community around something takes people, but it also takes a really good leader to sustain the group and the cause. We are so honored to sit with Dorsa and to hear all about her skating services, the Wonder on Wheels community and what got her started in the first place. This conversation is not only energetic and inspirational but raw and heartfelt at the same time. The vibes all there besties, hope you enjoy!

We are so grateful for every single connection we make through the pod, and for all the reconnection this podcast has brought us. We got to sit with Kaylee Ruiz for this episode, an old friend of mine and a poppin' local Orlando ornamental tattoo artist. She shares her journey of coming up in the tattooing scene, balancing a healthy work/life schedule, and learning and practicing solitude. We also shared lots of laughs catching up on how much we've grown since high school. :') Hope you enjoy besties!

Joined by a special fairy buff father, JP, a pro MMA fighter, we switched up the vibes for this episode. Your environment, the way you were brought up, your cultural background and profession all play huge a factor in your views on mental health. We got to pick Jp's brains on the masculine fighter culture, how training your body and mind goes hand in hand, learning and understanding more about mental health/illness by observing what others go through, etc. We also touch on mens mental health and the shift in support and compassion especially amongst men. Enjoy besties, this is a good one. 

Such an honor to have Candace, a good friend of the pod on this episode! We deep dive into our family dynamics, her growing up homeschooled, sheltered and then breaking out of the mold. Navigating our relationship with our parents as grown ups and not seeing eye to eye about lifestyle choices. How we behave, communicate and compromise in a healthy romantic relationship. We also  tapped into our artistry, creative pursuits and processes and how we keep them alive/how they keep us alive. Hope you enjoy besties!

Getting older truly is awesome until you start thinking about your parents getting older. Inspired by my moms birthday, we're recalling crazy childhood stories and good lessons we've learned throughout our lives as we catch you up in this episode. Starting a new job, getting ready to travel for weeks, reality checks of our own victim mentality, reeling it in with gratitude for the presence, lots of gems for you guys in this one. Hope you enjoy besties!

Your connection to yourself to important and should never be last on your priority list. Morning and night routines, gratitude practices, meditation and yoga, etc. are great tools to ground yourself and set yourself up for success. If you've been curious about how to get into habits and practices like that and have questions, we have some answers! In this episode we have our friend and asana instructor Emely share her tips and tricks on tapping into your awareness and living mindful and intentionally. Hope you enjoy besties!

It's one thing to be able to process emotions on your own, but another beautiful thing is working through them with others. Having friends and people in your life that make you feel safe enough to be vulnerable with/to is essential. One of those friends for us is Eliany, and we're so honored to have her on the pod! She is one of the most compassionate and empathetic people ever that radiates the most nurturing light. We dissect the way we work through different emotions, why it's important to feel all the feelings and how it's different for everyone. When we go through things, if you saw your friends being terrible to themselves you'd want to help them or tell them to stop, so why do we self sabotage? Hope you enjoy besties!

We hope you love our solo episodes every first Monday as much as we love them because there are always so many gems in our catch-ups. We discuss learning to sit in stillness and trust in the peace of the moment, practice bettering our communication skills in real life situations, reshaping our experiences and prioritizing ourselves and not allow the way you could be perceived to control your actions, etc. We hope you can relate and enjoy.

Learning new things is cool but it's even cooler to learn new things from friends that you love and admire. Today's conversation is joined by Sami, Mental Chillness's photographer and also a recent graduate with a master of social work! Not only does she create magic with the camera, but she's also super educated and shared so much of her knowledge of severe mental illnesses that she gathered while getting her degree/working at a psych ward. Sami also shares her own experience growing up with a family history of addiction, navigating through the foster care system and why her family's journey plays such a big role in her work now. Hope you can relate and enjoy besties!

The root of your psychology and how you orient yourself towards success is extremely connected to your mother. We are so honored to have Akeele on today's episode to deep dive into our mommy issues. We discuss how our relationships with our moms affect our lives, ways of being, romantic attachments and influenced our life choices. Hope you enjoy besties

Happy pride besties! To conclude this pride month, we're giving you a funny ass episode diving into our sexuality and our journeys of coming into ourselves(and accepting that we're gay as hell). Hope you enjoy

We started you with some breath work talk this episode because it gets a little heavier, besties. Joined by 242, a good friend of the pod, we shed some light on his past sexual abuse experience and how he handled it. Unfortunately, a lot of us has experienced similar things and we felt that it's important to discuss the reality of these situations. As always, if you can relate, we hope to make you feel a little less alone. Hope you enjoy besties

Gm to all of our educated, booked and busy hotties out there, this one's for you. We got to talk to Keren , a social worker and future licensed therapist. From advice on how to not take your work home and allowing it to absorb your identity, balancing and pulling through school while working multiple jobs and her experience on becoming a licensed therapist, Keren also gave us great insight on how she negotiated her raise. We really enjoyed this conversation, hope you do too besties.

 It's catch up time bestiesss! We're catching you up on our personal realizations and breakthroughs, and the short lived crush of mine (khanh). Learning how to be alone, adjusting your needs and expectations from friends and other relationships, moving back to your moms, etc. We are going through it. We hope to make you feel less alone in your situations and bring you light. Enjoy besties

We FINALLY have our WIP podcast friends on!! Joined by Hanniah and Megan from Wellness in Progress, we discuss Ask and Guess Cultures and how we tackle these communication skills effectively. In some families, you grow up with the expectation that it's okay to ask for anything at all, but you gotta realize you might get no for an answer. That is Ask Culture. In Guess Culture, you avoid putting a request into words unless you're pretty sure the answer will be yes, and you depend on a shared set of expectations. Listen to see how you can relate. Hope you enjoy besties!

This conversation couldn't have come at a better time. We are joined by a friend of the pod, Jenny, a full time mom of two. We discuss her experience with being a young mom, doing the work to heal herself for her kids and break patterns of generational traumas, having an angel baby and tips on how to keep your mental chillness daily as a parent. Hope you enjoy besties.

As much as we try to make this a safe space for you guys, we would like to thank you for being a safe space for us. Most vulnerable episode up to date, we hope you enjoy some simpin ' pimps cry about love.

Joined by Cristin Areli, a registered dietitian, we are discussing food and eating habits; linking your relationship with food and your moods, emotional eating and other habits that affect your mental health. Hope you enjoy besties.

Trust issues- everyone has them, everyone hates them. How we were raised, treated, loved and cared for in our childhood directly impact the way we carry ourselves as adults. Joined by a special guest, Don from Independent Dream Factory, we are dissecting our trust issues and how we've process and work on being better. Hope you enjoy besties.

We're back and better! Not a lot, just a little better. It's been rough, and this wouldn't be a true podcast about mental health if they were all rainbows and sunshine. Catch up with us as we get vulnerable (gross) and share the keys to hanging onto mental chillness through tough times.  Hope you enjoy besties.
