With her rare dual background in law and mental health, she brings a grounded, human perspective to some of the toughest issues facing families today.We talk through personal stories from her work in the judicial system, how trauma shows up in courtrooms, and the ways legal processes can unintentionally retraumatize the people they’re meant to protect. She shares what she’s learned from working with vulnerable families, the hidden patterns and the misconceptions surrounding personality disorders in legal settings.We also explore rising challenges in her community—from homelessness to domestic violence—along with practical steps for parents building emotional resilience in their kids. And we even get into how running a law firm, a counseling practice, all fit into her own mental health journey.A thoughtful, honest conversation at the intersection of justice, trauma, and healing.

@ Belicia Tang [email protected] IGWell Anchored Life on Spotify and YTIn this heavy but powerful episode, Belicia Tang shares the story of growing through sensitivity, struggle, and the kind of love that reshapes a life. She opens up about growing up as a triplet, receiving a bipolar diagnosis at 20, and the years she spent trying to outrun her pain through achievement.Belicia reflects on the friendships and dreams she had to grieve — including the heartbreaking loss of her dear friend Chelsea in 2021, a loss that forever changed her and strengthened her commitment to mental health advocacy. She speaks about the healing she found in writing, the therapist who helped her come home to herself, and the boundaries that now protect her peace.This episode is about love in its most human form: the love we lose, the love we fight for, and the love we learn to give ourselves as we rebuild. A soft, grounding conversation for anyone learning to hold their story with compassion.

Benton is an Author and a self published PoetIn this episode, we sit down for an honest conversation about what it takes to understand your inner world. Benton talks about learning to put words to feelings, the moments that reshaped their sense of self, and the slow work of rebuilding after life comes apart.We explore what it means to write from a place of truth — the balance between being vulnerable and staying grounded — and the boundaries that make sharing personal stories sustainable. We also get practical about everyday mental wellness: how to interrupt old patterns, what helps on hard days, and what to hold onto when you feel misunderstood.You Can find Benton and his work on Amazon by searching Benton Savagehis websites are:https://www.bentonsavageauthor.com/https://bentonsavagebooks.com/
