Radical Self Care (and a Side of Zoloft) with Angelina Spicer
This episode contains a frank discussion of mental illness that some listeners may find potentially disturbing.
Welcome to the one year anniversary of Mamaste with Tanika Ray! There have been times in my life where I felt like I couldn’t commit (and times when I definitely didn’t…) but I’m proud to say that I’ve once again proven to myself that I am capable. To put out 52 podcast episodes in a row is not easy, y’all! But I am so glad that I’ve done it.
Today, I’m talking to comedian, mama, and my girlfriend, Angelina Spicer. In addition to being a TikTok sensation, Angelina is also an accidental activist dedicated to normalizing postpartum depression and proving that it can be something to laugh about.
Tune in and listen to episode 52 of Mamaste with Tanika Ray. Angelina and I are covering all things mental health, how she describes herself as a mama, and what it’s like to be a mama raising a young daughter in the year 2022.
