Plain Bagel & Whip is a tactless stream of thoughts born from the medicated brain of Vanessa Payton. A 30 year old college graduate, cosmetologist, and obese, black American, Vanessa will share her vision of cynicism, bizarre quirks, hopeless obsessions, and how she has mastered the art of being misunderstood.
Vanessa will go through the processes of menstruation followed by an examination of medically serious and painful complications associated with period irregularity, sex, and how it all comes around to affect a woman's mental health. Vanessa will also offer suggestions for period tracking and a lot more. If this topic doesn’t pertain to you, come on in and learn something!
And they are truly grand.... Vanessa walks through the 15 most common distorted thinking patterns with (you guessed it!) several doses of her personal experiences for good measure. Vanessa will also discuss her interaction with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and how she has used it to bust some of these distortions.
Vanessa exposes the definition, origin, and mechanism of stigmas that surround mental health and anyone who falls under this umbrella. She will also address stigma in the workplace and the effect stigmas have on individuals, while providing suggestions on how to curb these stigmas through multiple different practices.
Vanessa is back! But.....must address the elephant in the room once and for all. After taking out the trash of the past Vanessa will formerly introduce you to her forever endeavor: UNHINGED. Listen and share in the excitement and promise of a podcast centered on mental health, alternative medicine, and the daily/weekly/monthly/yearly/life long struggles of those, like Vanessa herself, who are UNHINGED.
