STS Podcast x STSU - Self-Love and Self-Care Series PART THREE

In this three-part series, the members of Silence the Shame University (STSU) discuss self-love and self-care, emphasizing their importance for mental health. In part THREE, our STSU Ambassador, Abriana Northington-Winston, sits down with entrepreneur, Toni Bonner, and Spelman College student and fellow STSU member, Ava Makombe, to discuss managing negative social interactions, setting boundaries, and navigating uncomfortable situations. They emphasize the importance of self-awareness, understanding personal triggers, and maintaining a healthy relationship with social media.
During this episode, you hear key themes surrounding:
1. Understanding and navigating negative social interactions is crucial for mental health. By recognizing our preferences in response to these interactions, we can take control of our emotions and choices.
2. Healing is not a linear process, and setbacks can feel overwhelming despite progress made. Embracing discomfort can promote growth and self-awareness, essential for navigating life's challenges.
3. Maintaining a healthy relationship with social media requires awareness and intentionality. Recognizing the addictive nature of platforms can help individuals set boundaries and prioritize their well-being.
