Social Teen Talk
Welcome to the Social Teen Talk podcast. I'm your host, Tamika Taylor, a school educator, community activist, and mother of four boys. This podcast is all about giving our youth a platform to be heard here. Teens can feel comfortable being open and transparent, discussing topics that truly matter to them.
Our aim is to dive into crucial subjects like inner healing, social and emotional development, depression, and any other controversial issues. We bring in views from parents, educators, mental health therapists, schools, nonprofit organizations, and local businesses as we believe that together we can make a positive impact in our community.
You can catch our podcast on Apple, Spotify, or any other preferred platform. Please join us as we work towards creating a space where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Ep. 2 - The Journey Towards Emotional Wellness: Understanding Maternal Influence and Societal Expectations
Ever wondered how a mother's love, or lack thereof, shapes the contours of our mental health? Dive into a riveting conversation with family therapist, Rebecca Potter. She unveils the startling impact of maternal relationships on our well-being, using evocative stories that hit close to home. Together, we illuminate the road towards healing, rooted in earnest communication, recognizing trauma, and the courage to seek help.
Our chat doesn't stop there. We pull back the curtain on societal norms and cultural stigmas that muzzle men's emotional expression. Drawing on poignant examples and penetrating insights, we dissect how these rigid expectations can amplify mental distress. It's a clarion call to dismantle these norms, encouraging men to embrace vulnerability as a conduit to healing.
Finally, we embark on the path of self-discovery and reparenting. Discover how you can heal from past traumas by understanding the five F behaviors – fight, flight, fawn, freeze, and fib. It's a transformative exploration of the intricate ties between our past and present, our trauma, and our growth. This episode is a testament to the power of understanding and acknowledging our past as the first step towards healing and growth. Tune in for a fresh perspective on your journey to emotional well-being.
