Thoughts About Feelings, a heartfelt podcast that reminds you we all have thoughts about feelings and sharing them helps us get through them. Together with friends, Blair Imani and Mychal Threets talk about mental health, personal stories, and more. The show contains no sponsors and is instead brought to you by acts of self-care like drinking a glass of water or taking a deep breath. Blair Imani will help you get Smarter in Seconds about each episode's topic and keeping with Mychal's dedication to literacy and books, every episode is filmed in a book space whether it's a library or bookstore. With insightful questions from Mychal, Blair, and library kids we hope you leave each episode of Thoughts About Feelings with a few more reasons to keep on living.
