On this episode, we talk about the real impact of being a supermom on our mental health, the contributing factors and practical solutions so we don't end up sacrificing our health and well-being.
I had the opportunity to sit down with Ms. Latricia Pitts, Licensed Professional Counselor, Master Addiction Counselor and single mom of three. She works in her own private practice, specializing in Anger, Addiction, Marriage/Family Therapy and Clinical Supervision. The cool thing about her work is that she embraces so many forms of therapy including art and music therapy, walk and talk therapy, Solution-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and traditional talk therapy.

Some of the things we had the chance to discuss were:
How our interactions with our own mothers can shape what we choose to do (or not do) as mothers
The reasons that moms of color need to express their emotions and their feelings in front of their kids
Why it is unhealthy to over generalize the “strong black woman” to all areas of our life
The negative mental health impact and danger signs of being a supermom.
