Podcasts about silence the shame

As a big player in the recording industry, Shanti Das provided a lot of help in bringing artists like Usher, OutKast, and TLC to national audiences. Ultimately, she needed a lot of help herself and left her high profile career behind to work on her own mental health. Shanti went through a dark time in the early to mid-2010s, with the loss of her sister and the death by suicide of her best friend, and she was considering suicide. Then some things went her way, including a chance encounter with a friend at home goods store, some sage advice from Rev. Raphael Warnock, and good therapy. Today, Shanti Das runs Silence the Shame, a nonprofit advocating for mental health.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

On this week's episode of The Silence the Shame Podcast, our host, L.ife, sits down with two of our Silence the Shame University (STSU) members, Ava Makombe and Christian Scott, to discuss their experiences with navigating college and life as a young adult. During this conversation, both students share how their collective experiences have brought them closer to their peers and that everyone is struggling with something at any given moment. Some noteworthy “gems” from this episode: 1. People are really good at hiding their struggles, so sometimes it feels like you are the only person going through things in life. In reality, everyone is struggling with something and that is when you have to be okay with being vulnerable enough to share your story and ask people how they are really doing. 2. It is okay is your journey looks different from your parents. You and your parents have to come to an understanding that just because I am navigating life differently than you did, doesn't mean I am doing it wrong. 3. A safe space means finding the right support system for you. The Silence the Shame University (STSU) program is a mental health college ambassador initiative designed to provide students with access to behavioral health resources and foster social connections within campus and community settings to enhance academic success.

This week I brought my friend and powerhouse, Shanti Das, on the show to share her story with us. After an unstoppable career as one of the most impactful women in hip-hop, she stepped away from the music industry and started on her own journey of healing and uplifting the community with her non-profit, Silence The Shame. I get a lot of letters from you all about mental health and wanting to give up. If you are any of your loved ones struggle with suicidal thoughts, please call the suicide hotline at 988. I love you Sweeties!

Click here--------------------------------------------------------------------HOW TO BREAK OUT OF TOXIC RELATIONSHIP PATTERNSHeal all the parts of you (including the part of you that stayed or wanted to stay).Find a licensed counselor/therapist: Check out Open Path if you are in the US & money is an issue [https://openpathcollective.org/].Explore childhood wounds.Make a list of warning signs/red flags for future relationships.Be gentle with yourself.Read books to help you understand your issues better [i.e., I realized I struggle with codependency issues, so the following books helped me: “Codependent No More” by Melody Beattie” & “Facing Codependence” by Pia Mellody”]Buy a workbook for self-esteem [i.e., I bought “the Self Esteem Workbook” by Glenn R. Schiraldi”]Accept help from your support system and friends.Focus on living in the present.Practice positive self-talk.Write out a list of dealbreakers that you will stick to in the future.Assess what your boundaries are [see below for examples].Go no contact with your ex.Fully acknowledge you have a pattern of being in toxic relationships.Explore what relationships were modeled to you as a child.Think about a friend or family member’s relationship that you respect.  Take notes [i.e., try to find a new “model” for a healthy relationship].Give yourself time to heal.  Do not date until you are healed.Form new friendships + build a social network.Reconnect with any family + friends that you drifted from during your toxic relationshipDevelop hobbies + interests.Learn how to trust your gut/intuition in relationships.Consider seeing a psychiatrist for underlying issues (i.e., depression).Go outside more + go for walks.Don’t be afraid to tell your story.Cut out people from your life that don’t make you feel good about yourself.Get some sunlight + go outside.Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night.Take care of basic hygiene (brush your teeth, take a shower, etc.).Get rid of any reminders of your ex.Accept reality + abandon the fantasy.--------CORDELIA’S BOUNDARIES:I will not sleep with someone who calls me names.I will not reach out to someone who abandoned me.I will not take back someone who cheated.I will not have conversations with anyone if I feel desperate.
