Finding Wellness
The wellness space is cluttered with gurus who swear they have the best solution but the truth is only YOU know what works best for you and your body, mind and spirit. We've been conditioned to think of health as thinness or the absence of illness. But we need to start thinking more holistically beyond just what our body looks and feels like. My goal is to help you look at your whole life: your career, your spirituality, your mental health, your environement, etc. to see how you can support your overall health and wellbeing. Get curious, listen to your body, and start making small shifts today that will have a big impact tomorrow! You are worth the time, money, energy and effort required to live a full, complete, happy and healthy life!

142. Toxic messages about mental health in the wellness and personal development spaces
Today we're discussing two of the most toxic messages about mental health in the wellness and personal development spaces. These two messages in particular were a HUGE part of the reason it took me so long to get help for my mental health. Be careful who you follow, who you're getting advice from and the beliefs you choose to subscribe to. Make sure you're not getting in your own way when it comes to feeling better. Also understand that medicine is a piece to the puzzle, not the end all be all. So PLEASE take your meds unapologetically and also learn to build habits, routines, and rituals that serve you to.
