3. Life update | depression, academic validation, & graduation

Hi friends! Here's a little life update over the past month that I've been MIA. Talking about depression and mental health challenges in general is just never easy and can be somewhat uncomfortable but I believe it's important to be open about it and have these conversations (when you're ready) in order to change the narrative around mental health. So, cheers to being vulnerable, transparent, and amazing.

Thanks for listening!

2. Removing the stigma around mental illness

Hi friends! On this episode, I talk about how the stigma around mental illness is a huge issue that prevents people from seeking treatment. We need to do a better job at providing safe spaces for people to feel comfortable enough to express their emotions and take the necessary steps to receiving proper mental health care. Remember, it is okay to be vulnerable. It shows strength :)
