Nilaja Montgomery, a mental health advocate, joined us on the podcast to share her journey from being laid off from a 6-figure job to seeking mental health counseling and discovering EMDR therapy. Nilaja explained what EMDR therapy is and how she strives every day to be the best version of herself through this therapy. We also delved into the topic of mental health among military people of color and how mental health shows up differently for Black women than for most people. She discussed the challenges and opportunities in mental health care for BIPOC individuals, and how she hopes to bridge this gap. Nilaja shared insights from her new collaborative book, "Uncovering the Brave Within," and how readers can expect to take away themes and lessons about overcoming trauma and finding a better way of living.
