Ready Set Grow With S. Tia Brown

Whether you've gone to therapy or not, there's a big ole reality check most people receive by about, let's say 25 years old: Adulting is constant and can be overwhelming.

Why? Because you have to do all the things—earn an income, be in a relationship, manage your money, think about your future, be healthy and fit, deal with your trauma and more—at the same damn time. Oh, and no one talks about it or tells you how. Until now.

Ready. Set. Grow! with S. Tia Brown is the ultimate group therapy space where we tackle all the things we're managing as we strive for the ever-so elusive balancing act of mental healthiness and everything else. Hosted by S. Tia Brown, a licensed therapist and journalist, we'll use real-life experts—credentialed and been there, mastered that folks— and real talk to create a community where we can all, well, grow.
