Mental Health Matters: Breaking the Stigmas - S2 E6

Mental Health Matters: Break the Silence. End the Stigma. Start Healing. What if the thing silently suffocating your joy…was shame? In this powerful May Mental Health Awareness Month episode of Girl Talk Mental Health (GTMH), Show Host Virginia Dale Manning and Special Guest Tenya Eickenberg pull back the curtain on one of the greatest silent killers of emotional well-being: stigma. “Mental Health Matters: Breaking the Stigma” is not just an episode—it’s a bold, liberating conversation that gives voice to what so many suffer in silence. Whether you’ve been dismissed, labeled, or told to just “pray harder,” this episode will help you reclaim your story and silence the shame that was never yours to carry. You’ll hear real talk, real struggles, and real strategies to break the chains of stigma—especially in minority and faith-based communities. Because here, we don’t whisper about mental health—we WIN the race to awareness. This episode fulfills what other shows miss: not just education, but empowerment. We don’t just talk symptoms; we speak truth, healing, and freedom. Girl Talk Mental Health goes deep, yet relatable—like a heart-to-heart with your best friend who also happens to be a licensed therapist. This is where the stigma ends… and your healing begins. They told you to pray harder. To smile more. To keep it to yourself. But silence only fed the shame. Watch now and Subscribe on YouTube.
