Hi, I'm Koya

“The way that I do it is by making self-care a lifestyle, rather than a practice. I make sure that everything I’m diving into has some element of caring myself within it. Every conversation, every project, everything that I do as I navigate through my work day has implemented within it something that honors me as a human”

– Dr. Mariel Buqué

In This Episode

In this episode of the Get Loved Up Podcast, Koya Webb talks to Dr. Mariel Buqué. As a university-trained psychologist, Dr. Buqué talks about dealing with depression and trauma holistically. Besides treating these issues from a mental health point of view, Dr. Buqué also talks about treating the physical body as well as addressing the systemic ills that often directly or indirectly push oppressed and suppressed people to experience trauma.

“The relationship that you have with yourself is one that could really benefit from the daily attention. The thing about having a relationship with yourself is we have to get honest. I think that’s what scares us, that we have to be honest about  the things that are deep and dark. We have to get honest about the things that we’ll find that we don’t like, that will probably require us to shift and shifting is very hard for us. Change is very hard for humans.” – Dr. Mariel Buqué
