“You only got where you are because you’re pretty.” Ever heard that one before? As a woman in business, it feels like no matter how hard you work, there’s always someone ready to dismiss your success, as if brains and beauty can’t coexist. You get judged, sexualized, underestimated—told you don’t know what you’re talking about because, clearly, you couldn’t have earned it. In this episode, Adrianna and a therapist tear down those tired assumptions. Adriana opens up about the reality of being a woman in business, the constant need to prove yourself, and the battles fought just to be taken seriously. We’re talking about the financial grit it takes to build something real, why “get-rich-quick” is a myth, and the game women have to play to protect themselves in a world that would rather see them as decoration than competition. For every woman who’s had her intelligence questioned, her success reduced to her looks, or been told to “just be likable,” this conversation is a reminder that you belong at the table. Join us as we dig into what it truly means to be a woman entrepreneur who’s here to break stereotypes, own her value, and redefine success on her own terms.

Ever felt like you’re breaking some unspoken rule by choosing divorce—even though staying feels like losing yourself? As a Pastoral Chaplain, Amanda Williams understands the guilt, shame, and judgment that can come from a faith community that sees divorce as failure. But she’s here to talk about why that doesn’t have to be your story.

In this real, raw conversation, a therapist and Amanda explore her own journey through divorce, the hidden struggles of being married in the military, and the harsh expectations to stay together “for the family” or “for the faith.” She gets honest about the pressure to choose a life partner because it’s “the right thing” to do, only to realize later that it might have been all wrong. Together, Amanda and Joselyn unpack the impact of religious beliefs on relationships, the power of boundaries, and why being “equally yoked” means so much more than just sharing a faith.

For those who feel trapped between faith and freedom, Amanda’s story is a powerful reminder that your healing matters. This isn’t about abandoning your beliefs; it’s about finding the courage to rewrite what love, honor, and commitment look like—on your own terms. Join the conversation to discover that even through the pain of divorce, you’re not alone, and there’s a path forward that’s just as faithful as it is freeing.

You’re a strong, independent woman—you’ve got it together, and you didn’t need a father to get here…or at least, that’s what you keep telling yourself. But what if the absence of a father has left scars you didn’t know were there? For so many women, brushing off the pain of an absent dad feels like strength. Join Monay and a therapist as they explore what may be under that “strong” exterior… self-worth questions, trust issues, and intimacy struggles you’ve buried for too long.

For anyone who’s been labeled “too tough” or who’s told herself she’s fine without him, this conversation dives into the deeper struggles that come from burying the hurt. It’s time to look at how those experiences might be setting you up for toxic cycles, self-sabotage, and pushing love away. This is a chance to look deeper at the patterns that might be holding you back, the toxic cycles that started way before your first heartbreak, and the need for closure that no one talks about.

Sometimes, being “strong” is about allowing yourself to feel what you’ve been holding back and embracing the journey to growth without shame. Join Monay’s journey as we talk about what it really means to heal, to stop pretending, and to finally let yourself be open to the love and growth you deserve. Because sometimes, real strength comes from facing the pain you thought you’d left behind.

You’re too old to find love, right? Things just aren’t the same anymore—dating’s changed, and the whole "how do you meet people" thing feels impossible. Maybe it’s not the dating world; maybe you’re the problem? You’re over 45, still single, and wondering what you’re doing wrong.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Join a therapist and Johanna’s, as we tackle the harsh realities of dating after 50. The struggles of meeting people organically, the frustrations with online dating, and the challenges of figuring out where you fit into today’s world of love. You’ve probably been told you’re too picky or it’s just not meant to be.

It’s not about blaming anyone—it’s about understanding why you keep ending up in the same cycle and learning how to break it. Is rushing into intimacy is a mistake? Are high expectations the problem?

If you’re tired of feeling like love is a distant dream or wondering if you're too old to make it happen, this conversation is for you. It’s time to stop looking for love in all the wrong places and start healing, growing, and knowing your worth. Because love doesn’t have an age limit—but you’ve got to be ready for it.

Ever feel the crushing weight of cultural expectations while trying to take care of your own mental health? Join a therapist and Kim as they explore the hidden pain points that come with being Asian American—where mental health is too often swept under the rug, and cultural identity feels like a balancing act between who you are and who you’re expected to be.

From colorism and classism within Asian communities to the identity struggles that colonization leaves behind, this isn’t your typical discussion about wellness. It’s a call to own both individual and shared responsibility for healing, to break the cycles of silence, and to redefine what “strength” really means. Can you find balance between honoring your cultural heritage and prioritizing your own well-being?

For anyone feeling the pressures of culture, community, and identity, this conversation opens a door to collective healing, pushing against the stigma that has silenced too many voices for too long. 🎯 Trauma Informed Mental Health Humor & Fun

You’ve been through trauma, but no matter how much you talk about it, nothing seems to fix the problem. You’ve been hurt, and now you’re stuck in a loop—unable to trust others, always questioning your instincts, and feeling like you’re carrying the weight of the past. It’s exhausting, right? You feel disconnected from your own body, and talking to people doesn’t make the pain go away—so what’s really going on?

Join a therapist and Shawna explore the unspoken connection between trauma and your body. You might think your physical symptoms—whether it’s unexplained pain, gut feelings that always seem wrong, or emotional triggers—are just part of life, but what if they’re actually tied to the trauma you’ve experienced? What if your body is holding onto that pain, even when your mind is trying to move forward?

Trauma isn’t just something you “talk through”—it shows up in your body, in your nervous system, and in the way you experience the world. You might not even realize that the physical symptoms you’re dealing with are linked to the emotional scars you’ve never fully addressed. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, wondering why you can’t trust yourself or break free from the patterns of the past, this conversation is for you. It’s time to connect the dots between your trauma and your body’s responses.

Ever feel like life is throwing everything at you—loss, grief, and a constant pressure to keep going? Grief and loss can feel like a weight you can’t shake off. It’s the kind of pain that stays with you, and no matter how much you try to push through, it’s always there. If you’ve ever felt like you just have to keep going, pretending everything’s fine, you’re not alone—but what if there’s another way? Join Nilam and a therapist as we dive into the reality of dealing with hardship, loss, and the emotional toll it takes. Whether it’s losing someone you love, a miscarriage, or simply carrying the weight of life’s struggles, this conversation isn’t about pretending to be okay. It’s about embracing the mess, feeling the pain, and finally giving yourself the space to heal. Grief isn’t something you just “get over.” It’s something you work through. Sometimes, that means allowing yourself to be vulnerable and express what’s really going on inside—whether through writing, creativity, or just admitting you’re not fine. This isn’t about looking strong or having it all together. It’s about being real with yourself and taking small steps towards healing, even when it feels like you’re stuck. It’s messy, it’s hard, and it’s okay to take your time. Don’t rush your journey—feel what you need to feel, and know that there’s always a way forward, even when it feels impossible. 🎯 Trauma Informed Mental Health Humor & Fun 🎉 Create a Free Account: zaiyari.passion.io 🎮 Heal with gaming, tools, & connection 😉 Made by a therapist with PTSD Create an account for 👇🏽 ✏️ Learn: 5 minute modules to help you understand why people do what they do 🎯 Engage: Apply what you learned with daily challenges to create change for yourself or others 🍃 Reflect: Discover yourself and others deeply with exercises & guided meditations designed to explore your intentions 🎮 Connect: Play games, quizzes, and exercises to get clarity and set realistic goals for change 💬 Communities: Share the journey with others and be empowered with the Zaiyari Family 🌟 Our Mission: Helping BIPOC communities break free from stress and trauma through fun and play.
