Mental Health Matters: Healing Begins with One Conversation
What does it actually take to hold it together – as a mother, a business owner, and a woman the world is always watching?
Dr. Simbiat Adighije, founder and CEO of Conscientia Health, sits down with entrepreneur, artist, philanthropist, and mother Angela Simmons for an honest, unscripted conversation about success, struggle, and everything that lives between the two.
They talked about high-functioning depression, the signs we were taught to ignore in ourselves, and why 60% of Black women experience symptoms of depression but only 12% ever seek help. They talked about art as medicine, rest as resistance, and what it means to finally stop performing okay.
This is not a clinical conversation. It is a real one.
Connecting creators, leaders, and communities to whole-person care.
A Conversation That Inspires Healing
At Conscientia Health, we believe the most powerful thing a woman can do is tell the truth about how she is actually doing, not the highlight reel version, the real one.
That is exactly what happened when Dr. Sim sat down with Angela Simmons. Two women who have built something real, who know what it costs to keep going, and who were willing to say out loud what most people only feel privately.
What came out of that conversation is something we believe every woman needs to hear, whether she has been in therapy for years, has never considered it, or has been quietly wondering if now might be the time.
Angela Simmons on Therapy, Motherhood, and Not Being Okay
Balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, personal loss, and life in the public eye requires emotional resilience.
Therapy is an essential part of protecting her peace and helping her process difficult moments.
Wellness isn't a response to crisis. It's something she practices continuously, not just when things get difficult.
"Every time I have a traumatic moment, I like to get a therapist involved because I know I can't handle it by myself."- Angela Simmons
