Jade and Keia welcome trauma-informed mental health coach, professor, and creator Dr. Shanté Holley to the kitchen table to talk mental health coaching, its distinct value in understanding our experiences, beliefs, and choices in context, and what taking responsibility for your own healing and mental health can look like in practice. We learned as much as we laughed. Sit with us.
