Empowering Mental Wellness | Breaking Silence | Embracing Self-Care
Welcome to and thats oook, the podcast where we break the silence around stress, mental health, health, and the everyday struggle to prioritize self-care. Through honest conversations, practical strategies, insights, and shared experiences, we’re building a supportive community committed to healing and growth. Our episodes include stories, shared experiences, and support to help you navigate life. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unseen, or simply ready to care for yourself more deeply, this is your space. You’re not alone.
Over time, and thats oook has grown into something deeper. We’ve evolved, finding clarity in our mission and courage in our voice. That evolution is now reflected in how we structure the show.
Here’s how to navigate our episodes:
🌟 What Do “SJE” and “J” Mean?
As you listen, you might notice episodes labeled SJE and J — here’s what they mean:
🔹 SJE = Season Journey Episode
These are part of the main season. They explore powerful themes like health, healing, and growth through deep conversations, reflections, and lessons that guide us forward.
🔹 J = Journey Episode
These are special episodes—real stories from real people. In these episodes, someone opens up and shares their personal journey with us. They’re honest, human, and full of heart.
You’ll see them labeled like this: J1: [Person’s Name].
🎧 These Journey episodes give us a chance to learn through someone else’s experience—and they remind us how connected we really are.
💛 Together, both types of episodes create something beautiful:
A season that teaches, a story that heals, and a path where your voice, your health, and your story truly matter.
🎧 What’s a Bonus Episode?
Hey there! Sometimes, we like to share extra-special episodes called Bonus Episodes. These aren’t part of our current season—they’re special stories and moments pulled from our andthatsoook archives.
Think of them like treasures from the past—a peek into the early days when this podcast was just getting started. You’ll hear real voices, powerful stories, and the building blocks of what makes this podcast what it is today.
They’re fun, thoughtful, and full of heart.
We’re bringing them back so new listeners (like you!) can enjoy the journey too.
🌀 Past meets present. Bonus episodes = extra gems.
Tap in and let’s go back to where it all began.
Listening to these is like opening a time capsule—imperfect, powerful, and still unfolding.
Whether you’re new here or have been with us since the beginning, thank you for being part of this journey. There’s a place for you here.

SJ1E2: Age of Influence
In Episode 2 of our Women’s Health Season, Omar, Katy, and Kelly explore the sponge stage a powerful phase where expectations, beliefs, and behaviors are soaked up. From family interactions to community influence, this conversation dives into how young girls learn to define themselves and their worth through the models they see.
We get into:
- The early pressures placed on girls often before they can name them
- The role of parents, caregivers, and culture in shaping mental health and self-care
- How to break generational cycles and build healthier patterns of influence
This episode sets the foundation for understanding how stress, health care and self-care habits begin early and what we can do to rewrite that story.
Disclaimer:
and thats oook is a podcast dedicated to conversation, connection, and community—not clinical care. The stories, insights, and suggestions shared by hosts, guests, and community members are meant to support personal well-being and spark reflection, not to diagnose or replace the care of a primary care provider, doctor, or licensed therapist.
We believe in the power of shared experience, but we also recognize the importance of professional support. If you are in need of deeper help or more personalized care, we encourage you to reach out to a qualified healthcare provider or mental health professional.
Thank you for listening, for sharing, and for helping us build a compassionate, healing community—one conversation at a time.
