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.
Success equals peace, right? For many people who are achievers —the more success they create, the less peace they have: The busier they are. The harder they work. The more they say “yes.” And because we often don’t take time to define success on out terms —we can chase someone else’s definition. This is where the latest Academy guest, the one and only Sheri Riley —who comes in to drop the wisdom you need on your way to your version of success. Sheri Riley is a wife, mother, daughter, and entrepreneur and we all know this is not easy, but she's figure out how to make it simple. Her 9 Principles of Exponential Living are the guide for high achievers to integrate their personal desires into their life without detriment to their professional achievement. Prior to serving as an Empowerment Speaker and Life Strategist, she spent over 20 years creating innovative marketing strategies for Usher, TLC, Toni Braxton, Converse, Coca Cola, BMW, NBA, and TNT. In this episode, Sheri Riley and I dive into how to: Define success on your terms. Release the myth of purpose. Manage the vulnerability of growth. Access peace even inside of chaos. Pivot and transition in life and business. ...and so much more in a deep exponential conversation designed to help elevate and empower. We have donated to Silence The Shame for this episode, an organization that helps support mental wellbeing.

The panel consists of people that had struggled on their mental health at some point in their lives.

Todays quote is “She overcame everything that as meant to destroy her”We are live, here in Atlanta, at Tree House Studios, with Coach Melony Hill. She is the founder of “Crazy Like a Fox Tour” and founder of “Stronger Than My Struggles”, and today we are talking about her incredible story!Being that it is mental health awareness month, we wanted to discuss the concerns we have about the challenges individuals may struggle with and how they can find help with their mental disorders. Currently over 450 million People worldwide are suffering from mental illness, yet nearly two thirds of the people with a known mental illness never seek treatment. We must kill the silence in our communities and stop the stigma among women! This is a huge subject matter in the community of people across the world. Especially black women. We often suffer in silence and don’t seek help. Often times, we as black women, go so hard and we carry this torch around that we have to be strong, independent women 24 hrs a day! Act like superwomen, And then to top it off, still remain sane! That’s an incredible amount of weight and pressure for one to carry! Melony opens up about her story and introduces other ladies who are featured on the show as well, who opens up about their painful past they overcame. We have special guest Francheska “Fancy” Felder, with SwagHer Magazine, Mary Joyner, who is a coach, and Veronica Pryor-Faciane who is an author, life coach, and transformational speaker.

Music veteran, Hip Hop Professional creator, and founder of the "Silence the Shame" movement, Shanti Das, joins The Brink of Midnight Podcast with John Brenkus. Shanti Das is a name popular with some of the most successful urban artists including Outkast, Usher, Toni Braxton, TLC, Jermaine Dupri, Prince, and L.A. Reid, among many others. She climbed her way to the top of music marketing working at La Face Records, Capitol Records, Arista, Columbia, and finally at Universal as their Executive Vice President of Marketing. She had it all going on, beloved by countless artists and music professionals, but no one really knew of the periods of darkness and depression Shanti would experience with her unprocessed feelings from her father's suicide. One particular dark moment, after contemplating ending her life, she reached out for help and began the process of true healing and now she's made it her mission to help others battling the same darkness. Out of her most difficult time, the seed was planted for what would become her "Silence the Shame" movement for mental wellness and advocacy. She is peeling back the layers of shame and stigma surrounding mental health issues, touring the country, helping students, collaborating on research with Emory University, and sparking dialogue with the help of friends from the music industry including: Nick Cannon, Bell Biv DeVoe (BBD), Estelle, Andra Day, Will Packer, Stephanie Mills, Takeo Spikes, Chloe X Halle, Shanice, Flex Alexander, Terri J Vaughn, Nicci Gilbert Daniels and Ed Lover. Shanti, like the meaning of her name, is bringing peace to the masses and helping save lives. In this poignant conversation, Shanti bravely tells her story, educates, and provides tools for anyone in need. She believes "peace is the new success" and that when we can all help each other out, we all win!

Today's guest Shanti Das is a music industry vet and the founder of the Hip Hop Professional Foundation. The mission there is to empower and enrich the lives of those in underserved communities around mental health, youth empowerment and poverty. Shanti's big truth was around owning her truth. We talked about: -Knowing when to walk away and when you don't actually "have to" deal with things. -Her opinion on the topic of appropriating hip hop culture. -Her transition from a high powered executive to servant leader. -The distinction between mental health, and mental wellness and brain health - I loved this! -Digital social responsibility -AND she didn't mind me losing my shit over her close relationship with the members of one of my favorite groups of all time - TLC as well as some other hip hop and R&B legends who will always have my heart. This is both a fun and important episode - enjoy and share! About Shanti Das: Shanti Das is an accomplished entertainment executive, consultant, entrepreneur, mentor, author, and Philanthropist. Shanti is the Founder/CEO of Press Reset Entertainment, an Atlanta-based firm launched in 2009 that serves as an entertainment concierge service providing independent marketing & strategy for music acts, talent booking for private & corporate events, celebrity procurement, brand influencer marketing and special event assistance. This years marks Shanti’s 25-year anniversary in the entertainment business. Her music industry career (intern to Executive Vice President) includes positions at Capitol Records, LaFace Records, Columbia Records, Sony Urban Music and Universal Motown where she worked directly with some of music’s top talent like Outkast, Usher, Prince, TLC, Toni Braxton, Erykah Badu, and more.

The mission of the foundation is: To empower and enrich the lives of those in underserved communities around youth empowerment, mental health and poverty. The mental health initiative is called Silence the Shame. Shanti has suffered from depression over the years and has also experienced love ones affected with mental health disorders. With Silence the Shame, she hopes to peel back the layers of shame and stigma as it relates to mental health. There are millions of people suffering and they are afraid to speak on it. It is also a lot that needs to happen in the form of educating people about treatment, support and care. Shanti hopes to spark a national conversation that will lead to increased awareness and funding to support those living with mental health conditions. She is enlisting the help of some of her celebrity friends and colleagues to jump-start the conversation.
It is no secret that addressing mental health is often a taboo subject, and for someone like Dr.Siri to break down the barriers with Hip-Hop and Pop artists is a revolutionary act. Giving the agency to individuals to address the strong holds over their minds is to give freedom to the potential of their future. We have to advocate the coolness of releasing our mental disparities in a healthy and positive environment that will lead to better life practices. Silence The Shame was honored to have Dr.Siri divulge his knowledge and let us in on what it’s like to dig into the minds and lives of some of our favorite entertainers. You can catch the new season of “The Therapist” on Tuesdays at 10:30pm EST on the Viceland network.
