Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Moniek Garside.

A licensed clinical social worker and founder of Fit Life Wellness. Here's a comprehensive summary of the episode:

🎙️ Guest: Moniek Garside
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Georgia, Colorado, Illinois, South Carolina, and Minnesota.
Founder of Fit Life Wellness, a private mental health and wellness practice.
Author of the guided journal I Can, I Will.

🧠 Key Topics Discussed 🧘‍♀️ What Therapy Really Is
Therapy is not just “talking on a couch”—it’s a safe space for vulnerability, healing, and personal growth.
It involves unpacking emotional challenges, not just surface-level advice.

🔄 Life Transitions
Includes shifts like:

Moving from corporate to entrepreneurship
Divorce or children leaving home
Personal reinvention
Therapy helps individuals navigate uncertainty and redefine stability.

🧑‍💼 Mental Health for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs often neglect self-care in pursuit of success.
Therapy helps them prioritize balance, manage burnout, and maintain mental clarity.
Moniek emphasizes the importance of processing emotions and having a support system.

📘 About the Book: I Can, I Will
A 30-day guided journal with weekly themes and daily prompts.
Designed to help individuals:

Reflect on their emotions
Reset their mindset
Overcome depression, anxiety, and life transitions
Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and MoniekGarside.com

🧩 Common Mental Health Misconceptions
Mental health is often oversimplified or trivialized on social media.
Terms like “anxiety” and “boundaries” are used without understanding.
Real healing requires professional guidance, not just affirmations or apps.

🧍‍♀️ Moniek’s Personal Journey
Originally a nursing major, she transitioned to social work after realizing her passion was emotional care.
She created Fit Life Wellness to have autonomy in how she supports clients.
She is both a therapist and a therapy client—emphasizing the importance of self-work.

🧠 Mental Health Red Flags
Depression: Irritability, isolation, loss of interest, low motivation.
Anxiety: Racing thoughts, physical symptoms (e.g., heart palpitations), constant worry.

🧰 Therapy vs. Technology
Apps and AI tools can supplement mental health care (e.g., affirmations, breathing exercises).
But they cannot replace the human connection and insight of a trained therapist.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Attorney Tessie D. Edwards.

A family and criminal law attorney based in Atlanta, Georgia. Here's a breakdown of the key highlights and themes from the episode:

🔑 Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Early Life & Adversity
Tessie Edwards grew up in a challenging environment marked by poverty, teen pregnancy, and systemic injustice.
She became a mother at 16, dropped out of high school, and had her second child by 18.
Despite these challenges, she never lost sight of her dream to become a lawyer.

2. Turning Point
A pivotal moment came when someone told her that her daughter looked like her. That realization sparked a deep desire to become someone her daughter could look up to.

3. Relentless Pursuit of Education
Earned her GED, then an associate degree to qualify for military service.
After a brief stint in the military (cut short due to pregnancy and miscarriage), she pursued higher education.
Graduated from Indiana University with five children and went on to law school with her then-husband.

4. Professional Success
Now runs a multi-million dollar law firm in Atlanta, Georgia.
Has handled over 2,000 criminal cases and is deeply committed to serving families in crisis.
Her firm has been serving the Atlanta community for over 15 years.

5. Support System
Credits her success to a strong support network: her husband (who co-runs the firm), her children, her brother, and her team.
Emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with people who believe in your vision.

6. Advice & Motivation
Be clear about your goals and stay focused.
Don’t wait for the “right time”—start now.
Believe in your dream even when others don’t.
Use adversity as fuel for your ambition.

💬 Memorable Quotes
“I feel thankful but not satisfied.”
“My life was so divinely chosen… I was just given a dream and the courage to go after it.”
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”
