Paula Sima

Podcaster | Mental Health Advocate

Paula Sima is the creative force behind the Talk Shit With P Podcast which brings a global perspective to the table. Born in Tanzania and raised across three continents and five countries, she currently calls Atlanta, GA, home.

A staunch advocate for mental health, Paula has personally grappled with the challenges of depression and in 2020, amidst the throes of monotony and the weight of her own struggles, the concept of Talk Shit With P emerged as a haven for candid conversations and a sanctuary for all voices to be heard.

Initially centered on her own mental health journey, the podcast quickly evolved into a vibrant community where shared experiences foster empathy and understanding. Paula believes in the transformative power of authenticity, fostering genuine connections, and empowering communities. "Positive Energy & Good Vibes" isn't just a catchphrase for her; it's a way of life, underpinned by the principle that self-care is indeed self-love.

In 2022, Talk Shit With P took a bold pivot, unveiling a new logo and strategy. It morphed into a platform dedicated to spotlighting and celebrating the diverse talents and narratives of creatives from all walks of life. Simultaneously, it continued its mission of destigmatizing mental health through a nurturing space where stories, insights, and experiences are shared with compassion and understanding.

Paula's passion lies in championing mental health awareness within the creative community, recognizing the unique challenges that often accompany creative pursuits. For her, nurturing the mind is just as crucial as nurturing creativity. Her ultimate goal is to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where creative journeys, with their peaks and valleys, and mental health management are openly discussed and validated.

In her own words, she is "A Rebel With A Cause," a relentless champion for openness, creativity, and mental well-being.
