ListenUp Podcast with Host Al Neely 

What happens when misinformation, fear, and instability start shaping everyday life?

Jessica Sanchez joins ListenUp Podcast with Host Al Neely to talk mental health equity, community advocacy, immigration fear, and why trust in democracy is breaking down. In this episode, Jessica Sanchez — author, advocate, and founder of Daughters Of Both Suns — explains what it really takes to support Black and Latina women through culturally responsive therapy, resource navigation, and community-based healing. She shares why mental health care only works when people can actually access support that fits their language, culture, and lived experience. The conversation also explores rural health disparities, hospital closures, limited internet access, and why telehealth is not always a real option for underserved communities. Jessica breaks down how barriers to care affect trust, healing, and long-term wellbeing for families already facing hardship. We also discuss the emotional and economic impact of immigration enforcement, ICE raids, family separation, domestic violence, and trauma-informed care. Jessica shares why fear can spread through entire communities and how support systems must respond with safety, trust, and practical help. The episode widens into a larger conversation about misinformation, propaganda, civic engagement, veterans’ needs, pluralism, and the importance of protecting democracy while respecting freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. If you care about mental health equity, democracy, civic dialogue, and real community support, this is a conversation worth hearing.

Strong & Overwhelmed: Motherhood, Mental Health, and Breaking Generational Cycles- Jessica Sanchez

This episode reminded me that being strong does not mean carrying everything alone.

Sometimes healing looks like:
✨ resting
✨ asking for help
✨ setting boundaries
✨ and finally believing you deserve support too.
