- Season 3 Episode 5 |This week I brought my friend and powerhouse, Shanti Das, on the show to share her story with us. After an unstoppable career as one of the most impactful women in hip-hop, she stepped away from the music industry and started on her own journey of healing and uplifting the community with her non-profit, Silence The Shame. I get a lot of letters from you all about mental health and wanting to give up. If you are any of your loved ones struggle with suicidal thoughts, please call the suicide hotline at 988. I love you Sweeties!

My daughter suffers from Anxiety and depression. In 7th grade her school offered counseling. I signed her up asap. I am so glad that she is still goes till this day once every 2 weeks (She’s in the 9th grade now). Dealing with a child who has anxiety real bad is not for the weak. I pray daily for her and others who suffer from anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
I just recently started therapy for depression because I was minutes away from suicide. Depression can have such a profound effect on your life that you can’t even see the light of day. I am learning how to cope with it and it is a battle daily, but this amazing podcast has been helpful. ❤❤ May you continue to be a blessing to me and all of your followers.
Sending a special prayer for you. Remember God has you, keep your faith you are worthy and a valuable part of being on this earth. God put you here for a reason. You have purpose and you are intentional. If you can just remember to say this in those tough times. This too shall pass and Satan get behind me with Jesus before me who can be against me. Keep going to therapy and remember prayer works.❤❤❤🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amen keep the Faith 🙏🏽

whewwww balling my eyes out, i am literally going through the motions of trying to find myself again and it's hard. All I got is myself. Can't talk to my mom about it because she don't understand and she's the root of it all honestly. Been battling with depression since a kid and it was times where I didn't wanna be alive and I still feel that way now being 25. October 2019 I tried to take my own life. Depression ain't no joke and people don't take it serious at all. THANK YOU for this safe space THANK YOU for letting us know that WE are not ALONE!! THANK YOU GOD FOR CRYSTAL RENEE🥺🙏🏾🩷🩷🩷 love you crystal
This episode was raw and real. It’s definitely a topic that needs to continue to be talked about.
Depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts are real and so many of us want the pain to stop and don’t know the right way to go about it.
I’m praying for everyone who’s dealt with this or who has lost someone and is still dealing with finding that new normal. God’s got you!
We definitely need to wear that spiritual covering at ALL times!
Crystal don’t stop being you!!! Touching so many raw topics and lessons
I'm listening to this in tears. All my life I've been sick in my body with one thing or another. I've had thoughts that if I was outta here I wouldn't burden anyone. I'm used to being the shoulder and ear for others and still haven't come to grips with needing anyone when I'm down. I've never been clinically depressed, but I have had thoughts of life being easier if I weren't here. God always reveals to me that I'm worth it and it gets me straight.
I am loving this conversation. I am a founder of a Nonprofit organization and currently working with a Substance abuse program where homeless Mothers and their Children are enrolled in the Dayspring Program. Since I been here in April 2023 I have seen six mothers free from substance abuse turning their lives around by enrolling in school to get their high school diploma and obtain their own home. Yes the struggle is real for them but to God Be The Glory for placing me here and using me as a vessel to reach these mothers.
I understand as a single mother raising two children with special needs I’m so ashamed that I struggle to support them every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets. I get so depressed about it. Thankfully I have God
This really hit home; taking care of my sister in my home and seeing her slowly deteriorate from terminal cancer and subsequently passing, left me in a very dark place. I’m a counselor but have yet to get help for my self. I have a faith in God and this has given me a push to find a counselor. This counselor needs a counselor.
That last sentence! Sorry for your loss 💜
Thank you Crystal, Dinorah and Shanti for this powerful episode it is going to help so many people. To the people who are going through tuff times, if you can just remember, “This too shall pass, Satan get behind me and with God before me who can be against me”. Also know and understand you were purposely put on earth and you are intentional. You are loved by the most powerful His name is Jesus. Seek the knowledge of God. He will never fail you nor will He let you down. God said, “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge”. Do Not Be ASHAMED to seek help. God put therapist here and gave them the knowledge to help you and they are purposeful. Suppressing your feelings lead to all kinds of health problems. I challenge each of you to get a personal relationship with God. Nobody or nothing can get you through the darkness like He will. I have had to bury so many family members including a 15 month old baby. That was the hardest thing I have had to deal with there is nothing tougher than to put a baby angel under the dirt. Kids are Gods angels they are not responsible for anything other than bringing joy. Faith, Prayer, Meditation and therapy will get you through. Just be still and know that He is God. Lean on these scripture Psalm 27:1-14🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
Shanti Das is a light and following her has motivated me on my mental health journey as well.
😊 In All Honesty... this is the Most Authentic interview I have Seen on the Internet in a long Time ⌛️ Very Thought-Provoking & Spiritual Healing... I Watched it from the Beginning to the end 😂❤ Thank you Shanti Das for Sharing your Story... & I Thank Crystal for her Brilliance on 🌟 Starting KIPS !!! GOD Truly Bless Both of You ❤😂💯
A God sent show! Thank you all.
Thanks for shouting out her Podcast, The Mibo Show. I love it!
I would like to speak on this. I've never thought about suicide at all. But I have had a little stress, frustration, and a little depression. And I thought about giving up, quitting, and it was a time I've thought about dropping out. But I God for keeping me, watching over me. And if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have gotten a second chance. I have a good job I've had almost 30 years at UPS. I thank God for my Mother, God rest her soul, And my Father who's still here for having me, my brothers and my sister. And for raising us. All I can say is that I'm blessed 🙏
I wish I could be one of those people that would run into @shantidas404 someplace...just to hug her & thank her for her light & awareness. Both of these ladies are needed in our culture ❤
WE ARE ENOUGH!!!
Thank you so much for this interview!!!! I am in the process of rebuilding my life and took so many awesome gems from this interview!!! Also I’ve been searching for a church home that I can grow in and feel like part of their community. In the meantime I will be sending my 10% to Shanti Das’s organization ♥️ GOD IS ALWAYS ON TIME🙏🏽
Love Shanti dearly! God bless you both for such a powerful episode.
Felt such a calmness watching, because I've been struggling with my mental health for a few long years now and last year I believe I was at my lowest. So just listening to Ms. Shanti while basically just starting my healing process. I don't know how to explain it but it brings me calm reassurance that everything will be fine. God indeed looks out for His own.😇❤❤❤
IM SITTING HERE CRYING MY EYES OUT BECAUSE IM LITERALLY GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING 💜
❤
This is probably my favorite episode thus far. Sooooo important, and powerful, and Ms. Shanti Das is a reflection of the Light of Christ and truly anointed for this mission. Thank you Crystal for sharing her and this message with us all. God bless you everyone. Hold on to God’s unchanging hand, He never fails. 🙏🏾💝
So powerful, so needed. Can’t say enough how necessary this podcast was!!! We’re fighting so many forces today and that which keeps us bound is the shame of it all. So @shantidas404 thank you for having your platform “Silence The Shame” because so many need to know that it’s possible 🙏🏽💕
Whew, this was an amazing show. Crystal-I appreciate you for loving yourself and others enough to post this positive content! Shonti-thank you for sharing your story/experiences. Thank you both for allowing God to use you to help others. Peace & continued Blessings to you‼️
This was a great interview & I’m so inspired by Shanti. As an Atlanta native, Shanti has always been that girl! I loved hearing her story & pleased to know she has found her purpose in serving & gained new vision. Keep flourishing Shanti!
Crystal, I am new to your podcast. Thank you for doing such REAL interviews and for having such a comforting demeanor. I love the way you say, "Un huh" to show you are listening. Thank you for leading with grace and transparency. Thank you for using your influence to give others their moment to be vulnerable and be seen!
Thank y'all!! Y'all are a light to so many & being a light when you're struggling is the hardest thing but God is standing with and through it all!!! Praying for us all!! 🤎🙌🏾🙏🏾

Such a wonderful episode. I absolutely love this channel. Crystal is so kind, sweet and genuine. It shows that she wants to help others and present content that matters.
Awesome interview 🎉❤
I soo enjoyed this episode. So transparent. If many of us were honest we would not be here today for various reasons but God! Thank you Shanti Das for sharing your journey. Going from being successful in the music industry to pivoting and allowing God to redirect your talents and pain to now operating your own non profit and the work you are doing to help others, that blessed me. What resonated with me the most from this episode... no matter what room God places me in, no matter how much money is in my account, or what my job title is...I AM ENOUGH! ❤
THANK YOU BOTH PRECIOUS AND VITAL QUEENS🤗♥️♥️👑👑♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥❗❗❗❗

So so POWERFUL❣️ We need to NORMALIZE THAT LIFE BE LIFING❣️❣️💎💎☝🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽💎🎁 This is my motto. My sister has been in the music business and it use to overwhelm me to attend events with her and see artist faking moving through the storms of life. My discernment was very present at how artist were not transparent about how life be Lifing--the reason we need a SAVIOR❣️ Had they walked in their truth, it could have impacted more lives for reaching the kingdom @luvcrystalrenee @keepitpositivesweetie
