Description: In this episode of The 3 Parallels Podcast, Dr. Branch sits down with Ms. Alicia Brown, who shares an authentic and transformational story about her journey with mental health and wellness as a Black woman. Alicia opens up about the ups and downs of healing, exploring family patterns, cultural influences, systems, and community dynamics. She also discusses her experience working with a therapist, the deep inner work required to overcome past challenges and beliefs, and the realities of medication management, grief, and loss. This episode highlights the importance of prioritizing your well-being and challenges the stigma and stereotypes surrounding therapy and mental health. Tune in to gain insight from someone actively creating a better life by putting herself first.🎯 3 Challenges (Lifework) Reflect on Family Patterns: Take 15–20 minutes this week to identify one family or cultural pattern that influences your behavior, beliefs, or emotions. Write it down and consider one small action you can take to break or shift that pattern for your well-being.Commit to Self-Care: Choose one area of self-care—mental, emotional, or physical—that you have been neglecting. Dedicate consistent time this week to prioritize it, even if it’s just 10–15 minutes a day. Notice how it impacts your energy and mindset.Challenge the Stigma: Reach out to a friend, colleague, or family member and have an honest conversation about mental health or therapy. Share something about your own journey, or simply ask them about theirs, to normalize talking about mental wellness.This episode is brought to you by our amazing sponsor:J Branch & Associates: Schedule your free 15-minute consultation by going to www.drjbranch.com; call or text (404) 436-2540 Connect with The 3 Parallels Podcast:Instagram: www.instagram.com/3parallelspodcastDownload the 3 Parallels Music Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2DCvaDp1wWypO59l1kearH?si=sy0X9tMcSNumk4ym-VZ9LQDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the show on Spotify, IHeart, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.
