Description: The episode is about the Dr. Branch’s experience being mistreated by a Black male mentor when he was trying to get into a PhD program. Dr. Branch shares how he was excited to meet this mentor, but the mentor ended up berating and belittling him for the duration of the meeting.  Fortunately, Dr. Branch had a supportive mentor by the name of Dr. Alicia Battle that prepared him for War.  Tune in to the story of how Dr. Branch overcame a past situation that taught him about himself and other people. The main lesson is that when people mistreat us, it often has more to do with their own internal problems than anything about us. The host learned not to take such treatment personally.Lifework: Reflect on a time when you were mistreated or hurt by someone, especially someone you expected support from. Consider that their behavior may have had more to do with their own issues than anything about you. Write down your insights.If there is someone you have hurt or mistreated in the past, reach out to them and apologize, even if it was a long time ago. Acknowledge the impact of your actions.Identify someone in your life who could benefit from your mentorship or guidance. Commit to being a supportive, non-judgmental presence for them as they navigate their own challenges.Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable, like Dr. Branch argyle socks. Use it as a reminder to embrace who you are, regardless of others' perceptions or opinions. The key is to focus on personal growth, forgiveness, and supporting others, rather than dwelling on past hurts.
