#69 - Mental Health Awareness for Health Care Professionals
What if anxiety, burnout, and emotional heaviness weren’t just in your mind—but in your body too?
In this powerful Mental Health Awareness Month episode, Charyse Williams sits down with functional medicine nurse practitioner Tawana “Sweet TNP” Raymond to explore how emotional health, generational trauma, and gut health are deeply connected. Tawana breaks down how chronic stress, cultural expectations, and unprocessed emotions affect high-performing healthcare professionals—especially Black women. From somatic therapy and breathwork to bloodwork analysis and family healing rituals, Tawana shares real, accessible tools for reclaiming mental clarity and balance. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “hold it all together” while secretly unraveling inside, this conversation will feel like exhale.
