Episode 054: "Running Has Saved Me Many Times" ft. My Mom Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

Today, I'm joined by a VERY, VERY special guest, my Mom! My Mother, Trish, jumped on the mic with me for an intimate conversation that started off about her outlook on the link between fitness and mental health. It morphed into my Mom sharing about her experience dealing with abandonment caused by the ripple effects of our family immigrating from Jamaica to England and then to America. We talk about the generational differences in how we talk (or don't) about mental health. I learned so much about my Mother in this episode. I hope you enjoy this very personal conversation and hope it inspires you to give grace to those who came before us.

*Please excuse the occasional echos that you may hear! The technology wasn't teching that day!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Akeya Fortson-Brown, content creator, young entrepreneur and owner of The Hustle Lab. She recalls her experience learning how to exist in 2 different worlds while navigating predominately white institutions (PWI) and trying to overcome Imposter Syndrome. We also get into the pressures of always having to "measure up" and the importance of representation. We also talk about how she balances hustle culture and self-care.
