Maribi Henriquez, LCSW: gen z and millennial mental health, financial anxiety and channeling your inner teen Oct 08, 2024

meet Maribí Henriquez, LCSW (she/her): a first-generation Dominican-American, therapist, and founder of Project Chula. during our insightful conversation, Maribí shares her journey as the daughter of immigrant parents, navigating the complexities of identity, carving out her own path, and the responsibility of being a cultural bridge.

we dive deep into the unique mental health challenges facing Gen Z and millennials, particularly those from immigrant backgrounds, as well as the financial anxiety tied to issues such as student loans, credit card debt and hyperconsumerism. we also chat about all things 'inner teen,' - you know, that slightly angsty yet highly observant presence we all have that encourages us to reconnect with our authentic selves and make choices rooted in curiosity and exploration.

together, we explore the pressures of being a superwoman, the importance of embracing vulnerability, and the power of letting others show up for us.

how to tell the difference between your intuition and anxiety Jul 08, 2024

is it your intuition or your anxiety, baddie?

in this week’s episode, we’re diving deep into understanding the difference between these two powerful forces. our intuition is that inner knowing, a calm and clear feeling that guides you without needing proof. we’ll share insight on letting your intuition lead, like silencing jaded voices, taking sacred pauses to connect with Source, truly knowing yourself, and trusting your own vibes without seeking others’ opinions. you’ll hear:

how to trust your inner voice: you’ll learn to distinguish between the calm clarity of intuition and the fear-based noise of anxiety.
sacred pauses: how regularly connecting with Source can help you identify signs and intuitive insights more apparent.
self-trust: by developing deep self-awareness and confidence through spending time alone and with supportive communities, you can start valuing your own judgment over others’ opinions.

balancing a 9-5 while still chasing BIG dreams + sustainable entrepreneurship Jun 25, 2024

juggling a 9-5 while building a business with BIG dreams is a balancing act, to say the least 🙃

this one’s for the creatives, solopreneurs, small business owners, and everyone in-between.

in this week’s episode, we’re chatting sustainable entrepreneurship and the challenges of balancing a nine-to-five job with chasing big dreams. it’s essential to recognize that some of us are indeed in that liminal space in the middle, working a full-time job while building a business, and they both have their pros and cons (like freedom over your schedule vs. the illusion of job security). and of course, you’ll hear from our host, Priscilla O. Agyeman, MPH on her own journey of being a creative entrepreneur, as well as valuable resources and related episodes to support you on your own journey.

Ummm, Am I the Drama??? How to Use Accountability and Self-Awareness as a Tool for Growth Jun 22, 2023

Buckle up baddies, we’re taking accountability for our actions to deepen our relationships and self awareness. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “am I the problem??” this one’s for you.

In this week’s episode, we discuss:

How to tell if you might need to practice more accountability and self-awareness
Why weaponizing “therapy speak” can be a pitfall for our personal growth
How to start doing “the work” or deepen our commitment to our healing journey by choosing culturally relevant healing tools, teachers, and guides

Nurturing and Healing Your Inner Child & Teen Jan 31, 2023

The inner child and teen is the part of ourselves that we tend to neglect as we mature. It’s the innate, youthful nature in us that often we “outgrow” as life, trauma, and challenges occur in our lives. As we become inundated with responsibilities, expectations, and unrealistic standards from society- our inner child can be harder to recognize and embrace as we get older. What was before a vivid representation of your lightheartedness and joy can develop into just a shadow of that version of ourselves.

Through this episode, you’ll learn:

Who and what your inner child and inner teen is
How to connect, listen to and start to heal the younger version of ourselves
Affirmations, exercises and journal prompts (via our newsletter!) on inner child & inner teen healing

Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Dealing with Liminal Spaces Jan 24, 2023

This week’s episode is all about existing in a liminal space, aka that (not so) sweet spot between what was and what’s next.

Through this juicy convo, in this episode, you’ll learn:

What a liminal space is and how it affects us mentally and emotionally
How to deal with tough transitions and moments of discomfort with softness
What to do if you’re currently in a liminal space and looking to develop an exit strategy

Lucky Girl Syndrome: Manifestation, Affirmations and Rewriting Your Narrative Jan 16, 2023

If you haven’t heard about the current trend of #luckygirlsyndrome, consider this a run down of what everyone and their mom seems to be fascinated by lately (aka repackaged law of assumption). From learning how to write out affirmations in some of my darkest moments and eras to being shocked by the synchrocities and mysteries of the universe, I’ve learned that manifestation is a tool and luck isn’t as far fetched as it seems.

Through this juicy convo, in this episode, you’ll learn:

What lucky girl syndrome is and how you can adapt (the healthy) parts of it into your life
How to unlearn negative self talk and rewrite your own narrative
Positive affirmations I’ve used in my own life and using manifestation as a tool for self actualization

Embracing Your Flop Era (Season Two Finale) Jan 09, 2023

Your girl (Priscilla), is no stranger to a flop era. In fact, I’d like to even think of myself as pro-flop era because as a recovering perfectionist, failure and rejection have transformed me and allowed me to embrace radical acceptance.

Through this juicy convo, in this episode, you’ll learn:

What a flop era looks and feels like firsthand from a career, education and personal perspective
Why rejection is actually good for you and how it can bring out the best in you
What to do if you’re dealing with a loss, rejection or failure and how to pivot with ease
