"Dealing With Anxiety & Depression As A Witch"

Bougie Bayou Witches Podcast

Have you ever heard a voice within that guided you toward healing? Join me and my guests Sade, Tia, and Egypt as we share our deeply personal journeys of intertwining spirituality with mental health to combat anxiety and depression. Egypt casts light on her transformation from reliance on medication to tuning into the voices of spirits as a source of her strength. I recount the harmonic resonance of sound bath therapy and meditation that became my refuge, while Sade brings her expertise in mental health to the table, underscoring the importance of ancestral wisdom and trusting one's gut.
Our candid discussion blossoms as we reflect on the potent blend of natural remedies, spirituality, and the mind's power to transcend mental health struggles. I open up about my own leap of faith from the sterile walls of hospitals to the embracing arms of nature with healing crystals and ashwagandha, which revolutionized my sleep and stress levels. Together, we delve into the significance of nurturing the right relationships and establishing boundaries, understanding that the energy we surround ourselves with is pivotal to our well-being. Our conversation digs into the societal pressures and the courage it takes to explore paths less traveled by choosing natural healing methods over conventional medication.
Wrapping up our heartfelt exchange, we grapple with the tough questions about the pharmaceutical industry's influence on mental health care. The personal anecdotes shared highlight the struggles with medication side effects and remind us to remain vigilant and informed about our health choices. The spiritual and emotional toll of working environments that drain us is acknowledged, as we honor the importance of following our intuition. As we bid farewell to our listeners, we leave behind a treasure trove of insights on the value of making informed decisions for our mental and spiritual health, hoping to empower others on their own healing journeys.
