Liz Beecroft is a psychotherapist and licensed master social worker currently focusing in foster care who was recently chosen for Nike’s “NYC By You” sneaker design contest. With a stylish Instagram that integrates fashion, footwear and mental health awareness, she's trying to break stigmas and create transparent dialogue for today's youth. In this episode she discusses balancing social work with her streetwear interests, breaking social stigmas about feelings and the process behind her "In My Feels" Nike Air Max 270 React.
If you need help with emotions that you’re dealing with or need people to talk to, Liz recommends this: Find My Well Being, mental health journals, or the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
