In this final episode of the Mental Health Series, Maya sits down with licensed marriage and family therapist Artiana Singleton for an honest conversation about therapy and faith.

Artiana shares what it was like launching her therapy practice during COVID, while supporting youth, couples, and families navigating uncertainty, isolation, anxiety, and relational strain. Together, Maya and Artiana reflect on how lockdown forced many people to confront issues in their marriages, emotional health, and spiritual lives that had previously gone unaddressed.

They also discuss the role of small groups and community care in supporting mental health, the limitations of relying solely on spiritual spaces for deeper psychological struggles, and why therapy and faith do not have to exist in opposition to one another.

This episode explores the intersection of Christian faith, mental health, relationships, and healing, offering a grounded conversation for anyone trying to navigate emotional wellness while remaining rooted in spirituality and community.

How do we stay rooted in our faith amidst a myriad of conversations? How do we stay grounded in truth when so much in the media is manipulated? How do we talk about our beliefs in a culture that may not feel the same way?

In this episode, Maya sits down with her friend and licensed marriage and family therapist Khalliah Bryant Tull for a thoughtful and practical conversation about healing, relationships, and the stories we carry from childhood into adulthood.

Together, they explore the impact of parent wounds and how early experiences shape our attachment styles, influencing how we connect, trust, and show up in relationships today. Khalliah breaks down what attachment styles are, how to identify your own, and what it looks like to move toward healing — even if you've experienced unhealthy or insecure attachment.

They also discuss how therapy can support major life transitions, the role of community in the healing process, and why we need more people committed to being "healers" in their everyday spaces. The conversation also addresses the impact of toxic media messaging and how internalizing harmful narratives can shape our identity, relationships, and emotional health.

If this episode resonates with you, Khalliah is also hosting a Mother Wound Workshop designed to help you process and begin healing the impact of your relationship with your mother.
