Mental Harmony

Heyyy guys, this week we have a special episode with one of Mental Harmony's fans; Jimi. He is sharing his story on what life is like living with C-PTSD, and taking us through a very interesting journey; how it all started what it has been like, how he is managing the situation his experiences with stigma. Have fun listening. #Lifewithmentalharmony

Hey guyssss, this week we are talking about being triggered and to be honest, I don't have the answers aswell. Sometimes I am able to talk myself and remind myself that no matter what emotion I feel, it is valid. But sometimes I feel guilty, I know I shouldn't but I just do.

Hey guys, its been a long week of getting better, the ups and downs are expected but i'm still pulling through thankfully. This process is soo intriguing because you can truly never tell what will trigger you or make you feel better. But we take it in our strides as the champions that we are. I also talk about how i'm working on my dislike for change, embracing new experiences, both small and big.

This is my real, raw, anxious, depressed self. Sometimes, life gets overwhelming and it takes a toll on me.

Hey guysssss, today we're talking about the woes of women in leadership and how society puts the average woman at a disadvantage which leaves her feeling much less than, inadequate and ultimately with symptoms of imposter syndrome. #Lifewithmentalharmony

Hey guys, welcome back, back, back again! This week i am talking about my experience with imposters syndrome. My struggles and different episodes over the years. In relation to being  a woman in leadership, or a thriving woman and having to deal with being having imposters syndrome as a result of marginalisation. This is going to be a 2 possibly 3 part series so stay tuned, xx #Lifewithmentalharmony

Hey guys. I’M BACK BACK BACK !! Lol I’m super excited to be back but also super sad to be coming back with this episode because this was a personal one. This week I’m talking about grief guys. My last episode was about giving people their flowers whilst they can smell them and that was very befitting for the events that happened some weeks later. Anyways I’m talking about how seeing as Recovery is returning back to normal, grief is more about coping than getting into a new normal. Right, so listen and tell me what you think. Hope this helps anyone struggling at the moment. Ciao. #lifewithmentalharmony

Hey guys i'm back this week with another episode and i'm talking about gratitude, the importance of gratitude in general but more importantly self-gratitude.

Heyyy guys, I'M BACK!!!!! After being gone for what feels like forever i'm finally back in your ears talking about being intentional with your mental health care. Subconsciously we neglect our mental health and feel the need to keep going despite our bodies giving us a lot of signs against it and today i'm talking about this in relation to why i've been gone. I'm super excited to be back. I hope you lot missed me as much as i've missed doing this lol xx

This week I talk about what happiness means to me. Which is pretty interesting because i had to do some searching of my own to finally be able to conclude what it means to me. Enough about me, .... what does happiness mean to you? #Lifewithentalharmony

This week, we're talking about over-productivity and high functioning anxiety. the constant need to be busy to do something is in fact a symptom of high functioning anxiety. i also talk about how I manage mine and tips i've found that you too could use to better manage yours. #Lifewithmentalharmony

Battling addiction is more common than we realise. From drugs & alcohol to video games to porn & sex to food, millions of people are struggling each day with their addiction(s) and how to best manage it. In this week's episode I talk about addictive personalities, and how identifying this early can be the key to avoiding an addiction. #Lifewithmentalharony

Addiction can be very consuming, and exhausting. Today i'm talking about the identifying addiction and how you can catch yourself early. Addiction is not shameful and despite societies stigma you should seek help and get the help you deserve.

In part 3, the final part of this mini-series, with my special guests Jite and Gbemi, we are still talking about being in a toxic relationship; the very low lows and the manipulation and judgement that goes on within the relationship which is nothing short of exhausting. We talk some more about red flags and using our personal experiences and encounters as reference points. #Lifewithmentalharmony

Today in part 2 of this 3 part series with my guests Gbemi and Jite, we're still talking about toxic relationships and the effects it has on your mental health. As we already all know these situations can be very detrimental to your mental health and can have lasting negative effects. Last week we started off by talking about the general meaning of a toxic relationship and signs to use in identifying these situations. Today we're talking about more signs and give a bit of insight from our real life experiences. #Lifewithmentalharmony

Today, in part one of this 3 part series. I and my Special Guests Gbemi and Jite are talking about toxic relationships and how to identify them. We've all heard of or unfortunately been in situations which we know weren't right for us. Be it the way we were treated, or the lack of communication o the blatant manipulation it all takes a toll on your mental health. In this episode we begin to talk about toxic relationships in a broad sense and then we talk about the red flags. We also talk about personal experiences and how that has affected us. Are you a walking red flag? this is something we should all evaluate very very often. happy listening #Lifewithmentalharmony

This week we're talking about the Negative type of guilt. Overwhelming feelings of guilt when the enforcing your boundaries is very common. However, this is not normal and can become a very consuming. This week I talk about the reasons behind this negative guilt and tips based on personal experience that can be used to get better. #LifeWithMentalHarmony

This week we are talking about doing your bit by watching your words. As human beings we are a product of our environment. This automatically means we have a lot of internalised biases and stigmas and can be very judge people. Part of being mentally responsible to others, requires you to unlearn these habits and ensure that your bias does not play into your actions or words and hurt someone. #LifeWithMentalHarmony

Emotional responsibility is a complex topic. Mainly because there is no blue print or one consistent way to go about it. It's all about reaching an equilibrium between emotional independence and emotional dependence. This week, I simplify emotional responsibility and talk about the benefits and problems of both being emotionally dependent and independent and how we can best navigate our interpersonal problems emotionally responsibly.

This week we are talking about the difficulties when dealing with a partner with a mental illness and steps to navigate it. Dealing with a mentally ill partner can be very mentally challenging for you. The change in behaviour and dynamics can very easily ruin the relationships and even cause you mental instability. On this episode I give tips to help maintain and manage the situation to the best of your ability whilst making sure you remain healthy.

This week we are talking about social media and the role it plays in your mental crisis. for a lot of people social media plays a different role from entertainment to them. There is inspiration and positivity but there is also a lot of negativity, comparison and that can get pretty overwhelming and affect your mental space detrimentally. We go into the problems people often encounter on social media and how to manage the problems that come with being on social media.

Today we are talking about mental illness relapses. In a time like this, which is really stressful and mentally exhausting, I though it would be helpful to talk about the topic of how easily one can relapse after recovering from a mental illness. This relapse is in fact normal and very common and definitely not something to be ashamed of. Over the years of managing your mental illness sometimes you can develop new triggers or be re-triggered by a previous by the same thing. I talk about triggers and signs to help identify a mental relapses. stay safe and stay home. #LifeWithMentalHarmony

This week we are talking about being overdependent on a romantic partner for your mental and emotional stability. Often times people become completely dependent on their partner for happiness because they are helping them out of a mental health crisis. As we all know no one person can supply you all the happiness you need and the volatility of relationships make over dependency a recipe for disaster.

This week we are talking about how to maintaining a positive mental space during this self isolation period. As we all know there has recently been a lot of chaos. This pandemic has the world spinning on its head and everything has come to a halt. We're all having to stay at home for extended periods and that can be mentally exhausting. So I decided to share some tips to help stay positive and upbeat during this situation.

This week we are talking about the role our parents play in helping us maintain balanced and healthy mental spaces. Since it was mother's day recently I decided to do an episode appreciating them for all the love and support we feel constantly and even talked about navigating these sometimes difficult relationships. Hope you enjoy the episode! #LifewithMentalHarmony.

This week we're talking about therapy, I get into why people tend to shy away, the types and the many, many benefits. Therapy is something that many people consider scary or not for them even without trying, understandably because vulnerability and looking at yourself can be very difficult. But honestly I would say to try before you judge, you won't regret it.

Today I and my special guest; Olorifits continue to talk about being vulnerable in your relationships and the major benefits of this. We also weigh in on why people may be very hesitant to open up to their loved ones and talk about our past experiences in relation to this topic. Go listen to part 1 first and i hope you enjoy it.

This week we're talking about comparison and how much of a negative effect it can have on your mental health. People intentionally and unintentionally make comparisons of people which sometimes stick and send them into depressive episodes. As part of our social contract we should all try to be mindful.

This week I get into how this all started for me, me realising I wasn't okay and the steps I took to feel better. More importantly realising it's okay not to be okay and finally being patient with myself. Not being okay is not uncommon, or negative. Give yourself time and watch yourself blossom again.

Today we're talking about the role religion plays whilst dealing with mental issues. For a lot of people from black backgrounds they have been made to believe their mental health issues are just demons which need exorcism. That is in fact a lie and we talk about the danger that has posed to the health of the affected.

Over the years OCD has been seen as a cute gimmick and used in place of the word "perfectionist", this is extremely dangerous to those who actually suffer from it. So, this week we're talking about OCD and the dangers of identifying as a person that suffers from OCD when you don't. This is a real disorder with real life hurdles and need to be seen for exactly what it is - EXTREMELY SERIOUS. #LifewithMentalHarmony

This week, we are talking about self care as a form of self loving . The importance , benefits and most importantly its' contributions towards your positive headspace. #LifewithMentalHarmony

Maintaining healthy relationships with loved ones is key to maintaining mental harmony. Unfortunately a lot of people are stuck in unhealthy relationships with "family" members. This episode goes into the effects it has on your mental health. #LifewithMentalHarmony

2019 was an Okay- ish year, and what better way to introduce myself and this podcast than tell you how I survived last year mentally. #LifewithMentalHarmony
