What It Takes to Survive In New York in 2026

Mental Nutrition: What Are You Consuming Every Day?

Your mind consumes content the same way your body consumes food. Every conversation, social media post, news headline, TV show, book, podcast, and even the people you surround yourself with are feeding your mind something. The question is: Is it nourishing you or draining you? In this episode of The State of Her with Keisha, she’s talking about mental nutrition and the daily thoughts, information, and influences that shape your mindset, your confidence, your peace, and your future. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unmotivated, or emotionally exhausted, it may be time to examine what you’ve been feeding your mind. Keisha discusses how to become more intentional about what you consume, protect your peace without disconnecting from the world, and replace unhealthy mental habits with ones that help you grow, heal, and thrive. Because a healthy life doesn’t start with what’s on your plate, it starts with what’s in and on your mind.
