Real, relatable conversations about mental wellbeing from someone who is walking the same journey as you, just sitting on a different side of the microphone. Just like you, I’m on this journey of self-discovery and healing. We answer the questions that you have asked. To explore mental wellbeing in an honest and authentic way without all the jargon getting in the way. Mental wellbeing is deeply personal, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to finding peace, fulfillment, and self-acceptance. That’s why this podcast is all about rethinking the way we approach mental health. It’s not about fixing ourselves or striving for some unattainable version of perfection. It’s about creating space to understand ourselves better, to embrace our unique challenges, and to redefine what wellbeing looks like on our own terms.So join me in our discussions where we can sit with each other and learn how to live out the best version of our authentic life.

Self care In today’s episode, we dive into why self-care feels so hard and how it’s essential for maintaining life balance.

Discover how hiding parts of ourselves to stay safe affects our authenticity—and how we can rewrite our "rulebook" to live freely, express our truth, and embrace our emotions. Your authentic self is waiting—let's uncover it together!

We discuss practical strategies and reframing our mindset to increasing our capacity for resilience through self-care and choices. Tune in to learn how to leverage stress to your advantage and break free from limiting beliefs.
