  • Summary

  • Welcome to your safe space to be messy, weird, dark, nervous, and excited! The purpose of "Mentally Chill" is to promote mental health awareness and normalize the highs and lows of life. We're spreading awareness one story at a time from real people with real struggles. Additionally, this is a place to get the inside scoop on mental health resources (therapy, medication, etc.), and find out what it's really like to ask for help. Also, we laugh a lot. Because life is hard, but it's also quite funny. Thank you for choosing to be here, you are where you need to be.

    Man oh man! Buckle up for some real talk with my current therapist. He discusses life in the inner city and how difficult it was to re-write the narratives given to him from childhood. For the first time publicly, Sharif opens up about having a psychotic break and how that led him to become a licensed therapist. We're kicking off Black History Month with a bang, can't wait for you guys to meet one of my favorite people!

  • 16. We're Too Hot to Be Depressed l Alyssa Shlapak
    Nov 15 2024

    Buckle up for my first episode to surpass 1 hour alongside my younger sister, Alyssa! Pay attention because we sound alike, talk fast, and often finish each other's sentences. We discuss Alyssa's least favorite topic ~weight~ and how she's learned to chase her cravings. She takes us on her journey of quitting corporate America to travel Central/South America followed by becoming a hostess. We end on the concept of self-preservation; how Alyssa is good at that and Emily is working on it. This one packs a punch, I can't wait for you to listen!
