But Life is full of highs and lows – there are events that bring us joy, and unfortunately, ones that can take it away. That's unavoidable.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the My Feelings Over Tea podcast. In today's episode I'm going to let you in on how this podcast came to be, what we will be discussing during the episodes, and how I hope this podcast can help you and lessen the stigma attached to mental illness. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 20 years and am also a Certified EmpowerMEnt Life Coach and Certified Laughter Yoga Leader. Through all that I have done, I have been deeply connected to advocating for mental health. When people around me encouraged me to start podcasting, I resisted at first, until I realized the awareness I could raise and the connections I could make with people.  Mental health is our foundation. Without self-awareness of your thoughts and feelings as it pertains to your mental health, various aspects of your life can be impacted. Throughout the course of this podcast I want to help you talk through important topics and dispel mental health myths. I will talk about tough topics like being black in America, mental health in the black community, and the impact of mental health on maternal health and many other issues. These are things we absolutely need to talk about.  If you can take away anything from this first episode, I hope it's that you allow your feelings to flow freely; they are valid and so are you. Take time to honor yourself for self-care. Remember that change is the law of life and always respect others, even if you don't agree with them. I hope to see you in the next episode as we continue to learn and grow together over a cup of tea. Find out more on my website: https://www.nakaishatolbertbanks.com

Deborah is a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader because she LOVES to laugh. After a NDE (that stands for Near Death Experience) in 1990 THAT LEFT HER ALIVE BUT IN a wheelchair, she came back to kick life in the butt as a mom and wife. As her homeschooling career is quickly coming to an end Deborah realized she needed something else positive to do in her life. Deborah found laughter yoga on the internet, but no classes in her own state. Then she found laughter yoga by phone, so Deborah signed up and took the class and is now a certified laughter yoga leader. She participates in laughter by phone and helps others learn how to laugh and let go. Deborah's also an ordained minister pursuing a second PhD in metaphysical counseling. With all of the new technology her days are full of volunteering, blogging, vlogging, tweeting, and laughing plus running an online business at http://www.iapply4jobs.com,   http://www.blogtalkradio.com/myaccessiblelife,   mwo97@hotmail.com
