Thank you @Nmozz @StylistMagazine for speaking to me about the #ambitiontrap many #Black #Women experience. Pressures to #succeed can be motivating, however, when combined with #racism it can can be psychologically harmful & have the opposite effect. https://t.co/xvQmyXvdxk

"I can. I will. Watch me." Paradoxically, sometimes being told that you will fail can #motivate you to #succeed. Thank you @MCChappet @GlamourMagUK for speaking to me about the powerful phenomenon of 'Revenge Success'. #mentalhealth #bethechange #success https://t.co/o0qhcHaTuz

A hairstyle can say a lot, and it can hide a lot. Thank you @TanyelMustafa @MetroUK for speaking to me about the relationship between our hair, identity and our sense of self.

You don't need to go "cold turkey" to manage news-related stress. Protect your mental health with these small steps: • Turn off notifications • Limit social media scrolling to 15 minutes • No-screens policy for mealtimes • Find ways to take action

Psychologists are seeing an increase in news-related stress and media saturation overload. Installing a few key media guardrails can help

Thank you to @TanyelMustafa @MetroUK for speaking with me about the impact of 'beauty filters'. This is an important issue as it can have an impact on how we see/value ourselves & our #mentalhealth.

I've written a piece reflecting on @hannahsbee much needed book 'Time to Think'. Using the lens of the fairytale Hansel and Gretel and to try and consider some of the processes that may have been occurring. #TherpaistsConnect

I schedule walks & bike rides in my diary - the same way that I schedule meetings & 1-1s with my team. Personal development is mostly ensuring you consistently do the things that make you feel good, long-term. If you're planning the week ahead, remember what's important.

You can’t be a part-time person of principle. You can’t choose to work towards what is right only when it feels good. Being a person of principle means standing accountable and fighting for change even when it feels uncomfortable. Especially when it feels uncomfortable.

Thank you @hannahefox_ @BazaarUK for speaking to me about the reasons why people do not seek therapy e.g. #mentalhealth #impostorsyndrome. #Therapy is #selfcare & a personal investment. There is no problem that would not benefit from being spoken about.

"Why do we look for curses & conspiracies in celebrity deaths?” I spoke to @MCChappet @indepent about this phenomenon. Thank you @MCChappet for exploring how we make sense of death - an unavoidable & painful aspect of the human experience. https://t.co/GatcDNfZLi
