Welcome back to Impostrix podcast! It is May, Mental Health Awareness Month, and we are going to talk about it! This episode comes from the vault! We recorded in 2023 and it's just as ripe today as it was back then.
In this episode, host Whitney Lee is joined by entrepreneur, CEO, author and motivational speaker, Difernt, for a deep dive into her personal experiences and mental health journey. Difernt shares her inspiring story of overcoming homelessness, living in foster care, and being faced with adversity to achieve success and make a positive impact in the world.
They discuss Difernt's mission, which is driven by her past experiences and the desire to bring social awareness through her work. The conversation turns to the importance of mental health, the power of therapy, and the need for self-care. Difernt also talks about her book, "What If? A Controversial Paradigm Shift," which challenges readers to think critically about systemic racism and injustice in America.
Listen in on a conversation centering mental health, resilience, and the impact of sharing our stories. Don't miss out on this empowering episode filled with valuable insights and resources for anyone navigating their mental health journey.
