Growing up, I was taught to say that I was “ok” when I really wasn’t. Mental health just wasn’t something that anyone in my family or community talked about or even had access to. Yet pretty much everyone was affected by it. 

Today, young people of color are disproportionately affected by mental health issues and are not getting the resources they need, and I want to change that.  

And this is why this podcast exists.

Yeah No, I’m Not Ok, my new podcast made in collaboration with LAist Studios, is here to open up the conversation about mental health. Every week we will explore issues that youth face all over the world (addiction, depression, anxiety, suicide, radical self love, and much much more) through conversations with friends, colleagues, activists, artists and health care professionals, all people who have gone through something life-changing and are now healing from it. 

We want to start a mental health revolution. A movement that can start by talking about how we feel. One where we’re not ashamed of our own human experience. 

What will feel like simple conversations among friends will really become a complex narrative of what is happening right now, especially to young people of color. With a real and emotional sound and few easy answers, Yeah No, I’m Not Ok will hopefully become a critical show in a critical time, a place for you to bring your complicated feelings and spend time with people who are rooting for you.

Life's journey demands resilience and the courage to evolve every day. As I step into my 40s, my near-death experiences have taught me invaluable lessons. "The Graceful Edit" podcast is my ode to women navigating life's transitions, blending personal wisdom with my expertise as a licensed aesthetician, skincare artisan, and mentor.

The 30s taught me lessons about self-acceptance and resilience I wish I'd known earlier. "The Graceful Edit" isn't just a podcast; it's a manifesto for aging gracefully, learning from our past to illuminate our future. Together, we'll embrace the beauty of daily "edits" to our lives, transforming missteps into opportunities for growth.

Join me on this journey of laughter, learning, and the art of living beautifully as we age, not like milk, but like fine wine. Let's celebrate the power of becoming more ourselves with each new day.
