We are so excited to have Ryan Mitchell, host of the Channel Q radio show ‘Let’s Go There with Shira & Ryan’, joining us today! Ryan is a bright, glowing, unapologetic light and he takes pride in bringing his full self into his mental health advocacy and public work. In this episode, Ryan shares his journey to self-discovery and more importantly, self-love as he came to own and claim his identity in the loudest and proudest way. Dr. Alfiee and Ryan also chat about the importance of self-care, managing anxiety as Black people, and how to bring yourself back to peace amidst stress and chaos. Tune in now to join the conversation with Ryan and Dr. Alfiee!

KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

Intersectional identities and being a public figure.
Adapting to professional spaces.
Ryan’s journey into mental health.
On being Black and managing anxiety.
How to bring yourself back to peace.
Thoughts on Bridgerton and other Netflix shows as a balm during quarantine.

QUOTABLES:

“I think a lot of the time when you're talking about entertainment, people think it's just the top line stuff, right? It's nothing deeper. But I pride myself on having conversations that dig a little deeper and really touch on things like that and touch on mental health.”

“If you don't take care of you, you can't be present for any other person in your life. If you can't be present for your work, you can't battle that imposter syndrome or battle that anxiety. You've got to show up for you first.”
