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.
