The social dynamic and impact of humor in our everyday lives bring a sense of joy and happiness. Through the use of humor, we are able to connect with others and create healthy bonds, but is there a connection between humor and mental health?

Our families play a central role in our development. It establishes the importance of kindship, morals, values, beliefs while creating a sense of community and "belonging". Our family members are our first initial encounter to receiving love, care, and support.

The word "family" can invoke various emotions that trigger our deepest wounds, and our family could be the main source of our traumas. In this episode, I discuss the importance of family, why toxic family environments happen, the signs you were/ are in a toxic family environment, the negative consequences, and how to deal with toxic family members.  *Support this podcast with a small donation to help sustain future episodes!

Welcome to my new mini-series, Metamorphosis Monday! These mini-episodes are meant to help you start your week off with the right intention and mindset. This first episode covers the idea of change. Butterflies are notorious for symbolizing hope and change, mainly because they go through a process called metamorphosis. They change from their immature state to a beautiful adult form. We may not have wings or spin ourselves in a silk cocoon, but we do go through drastic physical and psychological changes. Change is not something we always like, but there are life lessons we can learn from the butterfly about being adaptable, flexible, and positive about the growing pains we endure to reach our highest potential. *Support this podcast with a small donation to help sustain future episodes!

Your donation would be greatly appreciated!: CASHAPP-$butterflyeffectpdct Human connection is important, but sometimes the people we are surrounded by can hinder and discourage our journey to self-love and healing. These people can be family, friends, or other individuals that we want to hold on to or feel cutting off. Some connections can cross our paths again and we have the opportunity to reconcile or learn more about ourselves, while others are meant to fall apart. In this episode, I am joined by Sway (IG: @swaykun), as he discusses his experiences with toxic individuals and how it contributed to his self-love journey.

The relationship we build is not just based on how much we invest in the connection, but an emotional and mental attachment that strengthens our bond.

Your donation would be greatly appreciated!: CASHAPP-$butterflyeffectpdct Regardless if you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert, we are social beings and we learn to navigate through life with the help of others. We share our beliefs, values, culture, and experiences with each other and grow an attachment. Our first attachment is in childhood through the care of our parents, but based on our experiences, we weren't exposed to healthy relationships, so as adults, we end up attracting connections that tear us down on our journey rather than build us up. In this episode, I discuss the importance of building healthy connections and emotional bonds (platonic or romantic) with others and the power of emotional bonds.  Don't forget to like & share this podcast with your friends and family, and if you want to stay updated, fill free to follow my Instagram: @thebutterflyeffect_ or if you want to share your personal experiences, you can email me at thebutterflyeffectpdct@gmail.com. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queen-jeneve-gabrielle-szymoniak/support

In this episode, I am joined by Joshua Armant to define and discuss the importance of knowing our love language.  TAKE THE LOVE LANGUAGE QUIZ NOW: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/ Don't forget to like & share this podcast with your friends and family, and if you want to stay updated, fill free to follow my Instagram: @thebutterflyeffect_ or if you want to share your personal experiences, you can email me at thebutterflyeffectpdct@gmail.com. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queen-jeneve-gabrielle-szymoniak/support

We learn to maintain our emotions, triggers and understand ways to cope, but the biggest roadblock could be attempting to develop healthy boundaries. Our experiences can have a drastic impact on how we think about boundaries and can have a variety of consequences. In this episode, I discuss why establishing boundaries can be challenging,  issues when we have a lack of healthy boundaries, and steps we can take to establish healthier boundaries.  Don't forget to like & share this podcast with your friends and family, and if you want to stay updated, fill free to follow my Instagram: @thebutterflyeffect_ or if you want to share your personal experiences, you can email me at thebutterflyeffectpdct@gmail.com. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queen-jeneve-gabrielle-szymoniak/support

We have things that defend us against disease and sickness, but we also have ways to defend ourselves psychologically. Defense mechanisms help us manage the intensity of emotions and situations that threaten or challenge parts of our ego. This week's episode discusses theories proposed by Sigmund Freud, defines defense mechanisms, explains parts of our ego, and identifies different behaviors that are defending our ego against overwhelming feelings of anxiety.  Don't forget to like & share this podcast with your friends and family, and if you want to stay updated, fill free to follow my Instagram: @thebutterflyeffect_ or if you want to share your personal experiences, you can email me at thebutterflyeffectpdct@gmail.com. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/queen-jeneve-gabrielle-szymoniak/support

You might feel as though you have to "force" yourself to heal or feel as though you have to "prove" yourself worthy in the eyes of others.

"Everything happens for a reason!", "Good vibes only!", "Don't be so negative!", "It could be worse!" These are common phrases that have the intention of being positive, but actually devalue, minimize, and invalidate how we truly feel. Along our mental health journey, the words we say to ourselves and others can greatly impact how we learn to acknowledge our experiences. In this episode, I discuss the power of our words, define toxic positivity, explain how to recognize when we use these phrases, and avoid saying these harmful phrases to ourselves and other people. *Support this podcast with a small monthly donation to help sustain future episodes!
