This episode of Word To Your Mama was recorded in response to the collective trauma, grief, and anxiety many people are experiencing in this moment, particularly as policies, rhetoric, and decisions from the current U.S. administration are impacting families, communities, and children.Ritzy P is joined by therapist and community healer Araceli Vidales to create space for processing what so many are feeling but struggling to name. Together, they explore how collective stress shows up in the nervous system, how children absorb fear and uncertainty from their environments, and why community care and ancestral wisdom are essential tools during times of instability.The conversation examines generational trauma and generational wisdom, the role of culturally grounded therapy, and the importance of addressing mental health without gaslighting ourselves or our children. Araceli and Ritzy also discuss parenting through difficult conversations, breaking cycles of shame and silence, and finding grounding practices that support resilience rather than avoidance.This episode is not about partisan debate. It is about mental health, emotional regulation, and community healing during a time of widespread uncertainty, and about offering listeners language, tools, and validation for what they are carrying.Key Topics CoveredCollective trauma, grief, and anxietyHow political and social stress impacts the nervous systemChildren’s mental health and emotional absorptionAncestral knowledge as a grounding and therapeutic resourceCommunity healing alongside traditional therapyBreaking generational cycles with intention and awarenessEPISODE LINKSAraceli Vidales IGCultura Wellness TherapyWTYM LINKSRitzy PeriwinkleBook Ritzy P as a SpeakerWord To Your Mama Store: Use code WTYM at check out to receive 10% off any order YouTubeMental Health ResourcesWTYM Patreon PageDONATEMEDIA KITPodcasting EssentialsWTYM was recorded using Riverside.FM TRY NOWAVAILABLE WHERE EVER YOU CONSUME PODCASTS on socials @wtymama | email: [email protected]

Ritzy P has a convo with Brandi Andrews, a Black and Mexican beauty industry expert to explore the deeper layers of skincare, wellness, and representation. With twenty five years of experience, Brandi shares how her journey from a rural upbringing shaped her mission to advocate for melanated skin and build a beauty ecosystem that serves Black and Brown communities.Brandi also introduces Youth Dealer, her skincare line created to support an inclusive, holistic, and culturally aware approach to beauty. Through the lens of Youth Dealer, she explains how skincare can become a sensory, healing, and empowering ritual for people who have often been overlooked by traditional beauty systems.This conversation highlights the emotional and cultural realities within the beauty world. Brandi discusses the trauma carried in beauty and wellness spaces, the lack of representation in skincare education, and the importance of caring for the whole person rather than focusing only on the skin.She also breaks down why intersectionality matters in skincare, how sensory experiences support grounding, and why investing in small businesses led by marginalized founders is essential for the future of the beauty industry.Topics Covered:Youth Dealer and community centered skincareHolistic skincare and whole person wellnessTrauma in beauty and wellness spacesMelanin centered educationIntersectionality in beautyRepresentation and barriers in the skincare industryEntrepreneurship and community investmentCreating safe and inclusive beauty environmentsBuilding a beauty ecosystem for people of colorEPISODE LINKSBrandi AndrewsYouth DealerWTYM LINKSRitzy PeriwinkleBook Ritzy P as a SpeakerWord To Your Mama Store: Use code WTYM at check out to receive 10% off any order YouTubeMental Health ResourcesWTYM Patreon PageDONATEMEDIA KITPodcasting EssentialsWTYM was recorded using Riverside.FM TRY NOWAVAILABLE WHERE EVER YOU CONSUME PODCASTS on socials @wtymama | email: [email protected]
