Welcome to Episode 22, Season 7 of "P.S.A the Mental Health Podcast," a unique and engaging platform tailored for young millennial men at the crossroads of life. Host Izzy Baker and guest public health expert & creative mind behind Pathway Coach Writing Venchele Saint Dic bring you a conversation that interweaves personal experiences, cultural insights, and mental health strategies.In this episode, Venchele shares her enriching experiences living in Haiti, vividly depicting the island's beauty and complexities. The conversation then turns towards the digital world, discussing the pitfalls of AI and fake sources and the importance of discerning in the age of information overload.Anchoring the discussion is the theme of authenticity, inspired by Brené Brown's quote on making daily choices to be real and honest. This aligns with the scriptural wisdom from James 1:22 about being doers of the word, not just listeners. Venchele, with her extensive public health and leadership background, explores how these principles intersect with mental health and professional networking for young men. She addresses common challenges in maintaining authentic relationships while advancing in their careers.The episode delves into mental health issues and the role of technology in help-seeking behaviors among young men. It's revealed that while young men are heavy technology users, they often prefer self-help and action-oriented strategies over professional help. Venchele advises staying true to one's values in the business world, considering the societal and cultural pressures young men face.Further, the discussion covers online help-seeking behaviors and preferences for mental health support, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches in professional settings. Venchele and Izzy discuss the delicate balance between emotional intelligence and mental health needs in professional networking and when it might be necessary to recalibrate this balance.As the conversation unfolds, Venchele references Dave Chappelle's skit "When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong" and discusses the importance of watching what you say in professional events, having different friends for different aspects of life, and dealing with workplace challenges like persecution and haters, drawing parallels with the biblical story of Daniel.In a segment titled "I Challenge That," Venchele shares strategies for young men to manage stress and maintain mental well-being while striving for career success. She emphasizes combining authenticity with emotional intelligence, viewing authenticity as a personalized journey, basing it on core values, evaluating the functionality of these values, and determining one's threshold of authenticity.Following the insightful segment "I Challenge That," the episode transitions into a deep dive into professional networking dynamics and authenticity's significance in these settings. Venchele offers nuanced perspectives on how young men can navigate professional spaces while maintaining their mental health and staying true to their values. She discusses the challenges faced by introverts and socially anxious individuals in networking, emphasizing the need for strategies that align with personal comfort levels.Venchele also tackles the common pitfall of overemphasizing oneself in conversations. She advises young men to focus on listening more and speaking less, fostering meaningful connections rather than dominating the dialogue. This approach not only aids in establishing authentic relationships but also in understanding diverse perspectives, which is crucial in professional growth.The conversation then shifts to the importance of shared interests in forming authentic connections. Venchele suggests that young men should not force connections in networking situations lacking common ground. Instead, they should seek groups or individuals with similar interests, passions, or skills, making networking more effective and enjoyable.Moreover, Venchele touches upon the tendency to conform in business settings, emphasizing the value of building connections and cultivating relationships before diving into business discussions. This balanced approach between personal authenticity and professional networking can lead to more significant and fulfilling professional interactions.Lastly, she discusses the importance of not focusing solely on personal gain in networking. Authentic connections, she asserts, are built on mutual support and exchange. Young men can develop more genuine and lasting professional relationships by emphasizing giving rather than just getting.For all your writing needs, Grant Writing Homework Assistance, Resumes, Cover Letters, Templates, Media Kits, Product and Profile Descriptions, and more, please visit psathepodcast.com Venchele's Social MediaFacebook: Venchele Saint Dic Website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/venchele-saint-dic-drph-candidate-mph-baph-70480811Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

In this Thanksgiving special episode of "P.S.A. the Mental Health Podcast," we are joined by the versatile Rapper Vari, also known by his alias Mr. Brew Harlem. The conversation is a feast for thought, serving up a menu of topics that extends beyond the literal to the figurative consumption of our daily lives. We dissect the allure and impact of 'trash TV' shows like "Flavor of Love," and Izzy's playful claim that he would triumph in the quest for "New York's" affection if there were a third season. The discussion garners a reflective tone as we delve into what we're thankful for, our favorite Thanksgiving sides, and the fading tradition of family reunions.The dialogue takes a nutritious turn with a comparison to Chris Brown's strategic album release on 11/11, leading to a broader discussion on the role of entertainers as educators and role models. Vari's own transformative journey and his thoughtful choice of releasing music on a symbolic date echoes the theme of mindfulness in what we consume, as reflected in the poignant scriptural reference from Proverbs 4:20–22 about the importance of guarding one's heart and mind with care.We explore the intricate layers of Vari's identity, questioning the significance behind his various names and whether they represent a duality in his life. This unravels a wider conversation on the pressures of social comparison in the digital age, the illusion of perfection peddled by social media, and the escapism offered by today's entertainment—a narrative that is both cautionary and enlightening in the context of mental health.The episode doesn't shy away from confronting the complex dynamics of masculine communication, as seen in the casual "big bro" salutations, and the psychological impact of social media hiatuses, amplified by the anecdotes of influencers like LALA Jenkins. In "I Challenge That," we discuss the power of media in shaping perceptions and attitudes toward mental health, particularly among young men, and how positive representation and educational content can empower and encourage help-seeking behavior.As we share the intimate details of our lives, from what we are most thankful for to the inspirations behind our creative works, we weave in the importance of media literacy and selective consumption for mental well-being. Vari's narrative about his name change and the wisdom from the article on Joesphprice.com about guarding our sensory gates adds a profound layer to the conversation, emphasizing the need to curate our media diet as carefully as our Thanksgiving plates.Before we approach the concluding thoughts, we take a moment to recognize the intricacies of mental health in the realm of the hip hop and entertainment industry. The pressures to conform to a certain image, the constant scrutiny, and the balancing act between public perception and personal authenticity are discussed with an open heart. Vari sheds light on his personal strategies for mental fortitude, aligning with the notion that the seeds we sow in our mind can bloom into the essence of our being, as inspired by the insightful words of Shantia J. This introspection leads us to consider not just what we feed our bodies, but what we feed our minds and how that shapes the tapestry of our thoughts and emotions. In the culminating segment "Gametime: Feed on This," the podcast shifts to a more prescriptive tone, offering pragmatic suggestions for a more balanced approach to life's consumption. Tips on mindful media use, the importance of diet and exercise, embracing mindfulness and meditation, and the cultivation of strong social bonds are discussed and challenged. Listeners are invited to reflect on their own habits and make conscious choices about their consumption, both online and offline.For all your writing needs, Grant Writing Homework Assistance, Resumes, Cover Letters, Templates, Media Kits, Product and Profile Descriptions, and more, please visit psathepodcast.comVari's Social MediaInstagram: @variblessedYoutube: @VariBlessed Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.

🎙️ Welcome to another episode of the P.S.A Mental Health Podcast! Today, we're thrilled to present an exciting discussion with none other than Nico Lagan, a beacon of transformation and empowerment within the realm of masculinity and mental health. Nico, with his remarkable journey from turbulence to triumph, serves as a testament to resilience and the power of change. 🌟 In this episode, we dive deep into an array of pressing topics that resonate with today's societal dynamics, including the implications of school shooters, the controversial stances of public figures like Cardi B, and insights shared by Dee1Music regarding the often detrimental influences cast by certain rappers. Nico Lagan's Unique Perspective:Nico's compelling narrative offers profound insights into the attack on masculinity perpetuated across social media platforms. His candid reflections, including calling out Izzy's list and sharing invaluable tips with his audience, shed light on the intricate challenges young men face growing up without a father figure. Nico's fearless discussions range from politics, with controversial takes on figures like Barack Obama and Donald Trump, to personal anecdotes of travel, solitude, and the repercussions of standing against societal pressures, such as his experience of being fired for vaccine hesitancy.The Idol Dilemma:A central theme of our conversation revolves around the concept of 'idols' and the psychological impact of idolatry. In a world where many idols turn out to be flawed, engaging in misconduct, or living double lives as scammers or predators, we explore the reflection this casts on those who admire them. Drawing inspiration from Dee1Music's comments on the "Hardly Initiated" podcast and themes from Rick Ross's song "Idols Become Rivals," we dissect the ways idols can influence personal and societal mental health.Deep Dive into Mental Health:Our dialogue takes a critical turn as we explore masculinity's portrayal in the digital age, the virtues essential for men's well-being, and how idolizing the wrong individuals can lead to a mental health crisis, especially among men aged 27-35. We discuss the potential red flags indicating when admiration for public figures may steer someone down a precarious path. This includes fan favorite rappers like Lil Baby, Drake, NBA Young Boy, and many more. Nico challenges common misconceptions about traditional masculinity, advocating for a balanced approach that recognizes the inherent strengths in being authentically male.The Road to Redemption:Nico underscores the importance of positive role models, drawing on psychological research and societal studies to highlight how constructive guidance can lead to healthier, more ethical lifestyles, reducing engagement in risky behaviors. His emphasis on community engagement, empathy, and holistic self-care presents a blueprint for men to contribute positively within their societal and familial circles. Faith and Mental Health: As we traverse these intricate topics, Nico delves into the concept of faith, extending beyond the religious sphere into a robust trust in oneself and a higher purpose. This belief system, he argues, is crucial for mental stability and a fulfilled life. He relates this to the dire consequences of misplaced idolatry, referencing theological and psychological perspectives on the detrimental effects of such misalignments on personal integrity and societal morality.Concluding Reflections:Our episode rounds off with Nico offering practical advice to listeners who find themselves at crossroads, realizing the potential harm in their choices of role models. He advocates for introspection, courage in seeking change, and the importance of embodying virtues that uphold one's dignity and contribute to societal welfare. Join Us: As we wrap up, we encourage you, our listeners, to reflect on the traits you admire in public figures. Consider their authenticity, their contributions to societal good, their respect for communal welfare, and the values they uphold. Are these individuals promoting unity, understanding, and growth? Are they using their platforms to inspire, to educate, and to advocate for the betterment of all? This reflection is not merely an exercise in critical thinking but a step towards personal growth and societal improvement. 🔔Stay tuned for more insightful episodes of the P.S.A Mental Health Podcast!

Nestled within our shared quest for mental well-being lies the compelling notion of legacy. "P.S.A. - The Mental Health Podcast," meticulously crafted to echo young black men's distinct mental health experiences, proudly presents a conversation with William Winfield, delving deep into the multifaceted realm of legacy and its overarching impact.Our exploration springs from the insights of influential thinkers like Peter Strople, who so eloquently asserts that legacy's essence isn't just material inheritance but the lasting imprint we leave in people’s hearts. Likewise, Billy Graham’s profound thoughts on character and faith serve as a guiding compass, leading us to understand the deep essence of creating a lasting impression in this world. William's journey, punctuated with struggles and aspirations, is a testament to the invincible spirit that legacy-building requires.The foundation that William has built over the years, the audience he caters to, and the accolades he has received from noteworthy individuals, provides a rich tapestry for a thoughtful reflection. It’s no wonder that his esteemed work prompts us to ponder the intricate relationship between legacy-building and mental well-being. Research, such as that from the Journal of Positive Psychology, suggests that having a purpose - often anchored in the creation of a legacy - acts as a bedrock for sound mental health. This idea finds resonance in Erik Erikson's impactful theory of "Generativity vs. Stagnation", illuminating the psychological upliftment stemming from legacy-driven pursuits.However, our discussion isn't just a collection of highbrow thoughts. It throbs with genuine emotion, light-hearted humor, and profound spiritual wisdom. Anchored in scriptures like Psalm 112:1-3 and Proverbs 13:22, we strive to lift our understanding from the ordinary to the divine. An intriguing question surfaces in this context: how can the concept of legacy be universally relevant, resonating from the bustling streets of Canada to the scenic landscapes of South Africa?William's journey, rich with life's highs and lows, portrays sheer resilience. He doesn’t shy away from revealing his challenges, offering hope to listeners with similar battles. His blueprint for building a legacy is outlined as:1. Nurturing Deep Relationships - Building enduring bonds, enriched by insights from The Gottman Institute and Brené Brown.2. Continual Personal Growth and Learning - The importance of ever-evolving learning, drawing inspiration from platforms like Medium's "The Mission".3. Active Participation in Community and Social Endeavors - Leading positive change, facilitated by platforms like VolunteerMatch and Causeartist.As the conversation continues, William shares intimate snippets of his life, touching upon themes of fatherhood, faith, determination, and the importance of role models, especially in the context of black communities. His stories, rich with life's lessons, prompt us to reflect: "What legacy is our own life carving out?"This episode promises a symphony of emotions, insights, and inspiration.

Track 8️⃣- Blooming Feat. CEOMikey 🪷Welcome to Track 8 of the Industry Plant Album/Series on P.S.A. The Mental Health Podcast. This episode is set to be an intricate and transformative conversation that challenges societal norms and expectations. Interestingly, this part of the album centers around the "blooming" stage of a plant, a phase characterized by the production of flowers following germination and growth. The concept of "blooming" here is a metaphor for personal growth and emotional well-being, which aligns perfectly with the discussions around men and their societal struggles today. However, as CEOMikey will explain, men often aren't allowed the space to properly "bloom" due to societal constraints. We are excited to host CEOMikey, known by various monikers, including CrazyWearMikey and 'the funny guy.' Though not strictly a men's mental health advocate, CEOMikey is an influential voice for millennials, covering popular topics, conversations, and TV shows that he feels mainstream media often overlook.In this special episode, we engage in a multifaceted dialogue that encompasses a wide range of issues men face due to societal expectations. Drawing inspiration from John Cena's song "My Time is Now," a popular TikTok voice trend, and the thought-provoking quote "A Blooming Flower is a Feast for the Eyes," we aim to delve into the challenges and constraints that men, particularly in the Black community, experience. The episode is also informed by the scriptural guidance of Romans 12:2, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." CEOMikey adds a unique twist to our discussions by tackling real-world examples such as 50 Cent’s under-discussed hit TV shows, the YM Melly case, and Rylo Rodriguez's viral TikTok phenomenon. He also talks about the public reaction to rapper Drake getting his nails painted, challenging societal perceptions and bringing a fresh cultural perspective to our dialogue.CEOMikey shares his viewpoint on how some mental health advocates don’t always utilize their platforms to their highest potential. He contends that while their intentions may be good, the impact could be much greater. His aim with his platform, the Bulture Podcast, is to go beyond the surface and tackle topics that are often brushed aside but integral to understanding the complexities of modern-day life, especially for millennials.To provide a well-rounded discussion, we reference multiple academic studies such as "Men and Mental Health" by the National Institute of Mental Health and "Men and Mental Health" by the UK's Mental Health Foundation. These sources discuss how societal pressures can contribute to adverse mental health outcomes among men, including higher rates of suicide, substance misuse, and emotional stoicism. The episode also considers various elements like empathy, emotional intelligence, physical activity, and healthy coping mechanisms, exploring how these factors intersect with the challenges men face in conforming to or breaking free from societal molds.So, tune in for an episode filled with riveting discussions, critical reflections, and transformative ideas.

Welcome to the 6th episode of Season 7 of P.S.A the Mental Health Podcast. This week, we're rolling out the red carpet to welcome a true media mogul, Justin Shepard, also known as Jay Shep, from TalentedOnes Media. Brace yourselves as we dive deep into an intriguing exploration of mental health, motivation, and the monumental importance of giving back to the community, all served with a generous side of our trademark sarcasm. Jay Shep, a man who turned media into his personal canvas, joins us to discuss TalentedOnes Media's unique journey and impact on society. He enlightens us on the importance of giving back, with plenty of inspiration from iconic quotes. Remember the profound words of Anne Frank, "No one has ever become poor by giving." Or the possibly less profound but still catchy, "Giving back is the new black." Strap in, dear listeners, as we explore what happens when media companies embrace philanthropy and community engagement with as much passion as their core business. Oh, and did we mention that Izzy, our fearless host, regales us with a tale of a less-than-grateful homeless person? Izzy, ever the giver, found his generous donation met with an unsatisfied scowl. A hilarious recounting of giving without expectation, even when the recipient's gratitude is, shall we say, somewhat lacking. But it's not all fun and games. We also tackle the challenging question: What happens when God asks you to give away something you're not ready to part with? Izzy shares a heartfelt conversation about faith, surrender, and the struggle of parting with something dear to you. Don't think we're forgetting about self-care. How can Jay Shep balance the pressures of running a media empire and maintaining his mental health? Tune in to learn his strategies for dealing with stress and anxiety. There's even an unexpected cameo from a two-legged cat. Will Izzy take it in? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say, it's a conversation that will leave you purring for more. In the spirit of giving, we're also throwing down a challenge to you, our beloved listeners. We want to know, how do you plan to give back to your community this week? We dare you to pay it forward and share your stories with us. And finally, in our "Give or Keep" segment, we throw Jay Shep some real curveballs, from finding a $100 bill on the ground to hypothetical billion-dollar deals. Can he handle the heat? Tune in to find out! This episode is a cornucopia of laughter, enlightenment, heartfelt sharing, and a sprinkle of divine intervention. So, grab your headphones and dive into this rollercoaster ride of an episode with us. Remember, in the world of mental health and giving back, P.S.A is your trusted compass. And always remember, giving back doesn't make you poor; it makes you rich in ways money can't measure.

Mandii B sheds light on her complex relationship with her father, who was both a hero and a villain in her life.

Through her own dark moments and personal struggles, including growing up as an Afro-Latina and her experiences with an abusive relationship, Mandii B demonstrates how resilience, self-compassion, and support from others can lead to healing and growth. We delve into a range of thought-provoking topics, such as the intersection of mental health and relationships, the impact of growing up in a low-income community, and the importance of addressing the unique mental health needs of the black and brown community. Mandii B also shares her plans for the future, including her ambitious goal to create an all-boys mental health center in Chicago.

After a week off P.S.A is back for another great interview. This episode is one where we explore the transformative effects of writing on mental health for our young, mental health-conscious millennial audience. In this episode, we delve into the therapeutic benefits of writing as a powerful tool to improve emotional well-being, cope with daily challenges, and make better choices for a balanced and fulfilling life. Drawing inspiration from the saying "The Bible says to write the vision but ensure you have one first," we discuss the power of writing and its ability to help us process our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Our guest for today's episode, Damian White, a writer, rapper, and poet who has channeled his experiences with homelessness into a poetry collection, "I Made A Place For You," shares how his journey influenced his writing and how he navigated the process of channeling his experiences into poetry. We'll discuss the writer strike taking place in Hollywood and ponder whether AI could take over and push writers out completely. At 14:50, we dive into the question of what writing has to do with mental health. We explore the various benefits of writing, including improved emotional regulation, stress management, goal achievement, memory, cognitive function, self-awareness, and problem-solving skills. We also touch on miscommunication or misunderstandings, writing anxiety, overreliance on written communication, and cyberbullying and online harassment as potential downsides to writing in the digital age. Additionally, we discuss ways to enhance your writing skills and use writing as a tool for mental well-being. We recommend practicing expressive writing, setting realistic writing goals, reading and analyzing good writing, and practicing mindfulness and meditation. We also offer advice for aspiring poets and writers struggling to find their voice and tell their own stories. In a lighthearted moment, the host Izzy compares ChatGPT to an atomic bomb with a great writer and compares it to fasting and cardio. Damian shares how he found dopamine from writing when he was younger and how writing helped him write his way out of homelessness.
