Hey Frens! Adia and Aisha are black women, mental health professionals, and good friends having conversations about all the thoughts taking up space in our brains. It's kinda like journaling, only better because we're doing it together, and you get to listen. Join us as we sip tea and journal out loud together every two weeks. FYI - This podcast is not mental health advice, just us having our own personal existential crises - one episode at a time. #blacktherapists #blackgirlmagic #journaling #therapy #socialdiscourse #heyfrens #sipteawithus Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com...
