Today we’d like to introduce you to Briana.
Hi Briana, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
I am a Mental Health Podcaster. I studied psychology in college, and always have been fascinated with the way human minds work. I just knew motivational speaking was my calling wasn’t for sure what I was going to do with it. Then I experienced the most painful thing a person can deal with. I lost my father in 2019 to suicide. I went through almost every emotion a person can experience at the time. So, I decided to push my pain into positivity. I just knew it was other people in the world that had battled through their own mental thoughts but wasn’t sure how to express it. The black community tends to struggle with seeking counseling. So, I felt like I wanted to share my voice and my thoughts. So, others can understand they aren’t alone. September 2020, I dropped my first episode and I haven’t stopped since.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I would say the biggest obstacle I’ve come up against is me having to share parts of my life. I know the world can be a bit challenging on social media. (lol). However, in my eyes, I had to be authentic and raw for people to understand. I am human and I have dealt with a lot of challenging things in my life. It is okay to go through life challenges just learn the lessons, but make sure to apply it to your life. It will be hard but trying is all we can do.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I see this as a hobby, people already come to me for advice or just to listen. This is just my way of helping people, but I am also saying I don’t have all the answers. You’re just not in this life alone.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
I don’t feel like I have any lucky role honestly, I am just an average person that is just sharing a passion.
