Freedom at The Mat | A Women's Wellness Sanctuary
AI is becoming a bigger part of how we search for support, comfort, and answers — but can it really replace human connection? In this Well Chat, Olivia F. Scott sits down with Columbia University Professor Riana Elyse Anderson, PhD, LCP, to explore the mental health impact of AI, emotional dependence, loneliness, and why protecting our well-being matters now more than ever. This conversation is especially important for Black women navigating stress, overextension, and the pressure to always “hold it together.” Dr. Riana Elyse Anderson is a licensed psychologist and expert in mental health equity and the impact of racism and stress on Black families. Together, we unpack what it means to stay grounded, discerning, and emotionally well in a digital age where AI is everywhere. In this episode, we discuss: * Why AI can feel emotionally comforting. * The risks of over-relying on AI for mental health support. * How loneliness and disconnection show up in modern life. * What Black women need to protect their peace and emotional health. * Why real community, therapy, and self-awareness still matter.
