#RiskTaking always carries a negative connotation when brought up in reference to our #lifechoices and #decisionmaking. But what if taking #risks could be #therapeutic?

For most of us, it is often difficult to feel validated in pursuing #selfcare and setting appropriate #boundaries to #love ourselves fully so that we can be properly loved and #appreciated by others. In recognition of #July as #MinorityMentalHealthAwarenessMonth, join us for an intentional #discussion about #radical self-care and closing the necessary doors to receive the love we all need and deserve. Tune in now!
Happy #MemorialDay! This week's #episode is not only dedicated to our fallen #heroes who have made the ultimate #sacrifice for all of us, but to all the #special people in our lives that often come to our #rescue on a daily basis.
Join #DrLP for a discussion about the importance of #fictivekin relationships and how to cultivate a sense of #family at any life stage.
