The Women in Our Headphones
For 31 lovely days in March, we celebrate Women’s History Month. Now, we all know by now that women and girls run the world (Beyoncé cleared that up for us in 2011, thanks again, Bey), and they have proven it time and time again by creating, giving, educating, nurturing, and entertaining us daily. With that being said, women have historically been undervalued, underpaid, not believed, and not celebrated nearly as much as they should be. This fact makes the women who speak up in defense of themselves and other women, the women who talk about mental health, the women who promote self-care, the women who openly talk about sex, the women who talk about the medications they take… THAT much more powerful.
This Women’s History Month, we are shining a spotlight on those women who have created a platform for themselves to speak on differing Mental Health related topics in hopes of fortifying women and educate others via my personal favorite form of media: Podcasts. Some speak solely on mental health topics while most sprinkle it in authentically, making podcasts an accessible and fun way be reminded that self-care and mental health can be a priority (even if it’s followed by listening to hours of true crime!)
