Almost Therapy at The B Spot Brian Heller Welcome to the B Spot! A place to talk about life that's almost therapy but not quite therapy. Over the past 18 years as a licensed therapist, I've noticed that issues like depression, anxiety, addiction, relationships, parenting, teens, screens, and many other symptoms of being human come up over and over again in a variety of ways. Come rejoice in being human! I won't pretend to have all the answers, but I do understand some things and feel compelled to share them with you! The B Spot is also a place for you to bring your issues to be discussed. A counseling perspective when you don't have time or money to see a counselor. So, come join me at the B Spot and let's talk about it! Cafecito with Shena Shenachanel Join me, Bloom Financial’s founder and CEO Shena Melgar, as we dig deep into the controversial subject of all thing’s money. We’ll tap into the wisdom of our extraordinary guests, who shed light on all the ways finances shape our identities, relationships, and life choices. It’s time to stop tip-toeing around the topic of money. The most powerful people in the world talk about money every single day, so why don’t we? All of us can learn from each other’s successes and failures, but first we have to talk about them. MONEY’S A VERY PERSONAL TOPIC, SO LET’S GET PERSONAL! I'll be sharing my wild financial journey, including saving lessons from my Dominican parents, million dollar deals in the corporate world, and navigating the financial and emotional strains of divorce. Hey, I said we were getting personal! Taboo Talk with C.G. Cglev All the topics that may feel taboo or awkward to talk about. This is not just about sex, although that will be talked about at length, but organizing all the topics that people feel ashamed to talk about. Let’s name a few: Sex, Relationships, Polyamory, Money, Trauma, Love, Self, Pride, Respect, Kindness, Imagination... I could go on, and intend to do just that, talk about it all and hopefully have guest on to talk about the things they normally wouldn’t discuss. Hopefully it helps others, even if it’s just one. Even if that one is me. Ready Set Grow With S. Tia Brown DearYoungQueen Whether you've gone to therapy or not, there's a big ole reality check most people receive by about, let's say 25 years old: Adulting is constant and can be overwhelming. Why? Because you have to do all the things—earn an income, be in a relationship, manage your money, think about your future, be healthy and fit, deal with your trauma and more—at the same damn time. Oh, and no one talks about it or tells you how. Until now. Ready. Set. Grow! with S. Tia Brown is the ultimate group therapy space where we tackle all the things we're managing as we strive for the ever-so elusive balancing act of mental healthiness and everything else. Hosted by S. Tia Brown, a licensed therapist and journalist, we'll use real-life experts—credentialed and been there, mastered that folks— and real talk to create a community where we can all, well, grow.
