It gets better: mental health and mindfulness

TW: Suicide Prevention Awareness month 

On this episode of where in the world is Jackie Camardo, Jac joins us from Scotland, with full on fall girl vibes to take us into pumpkin spice season. Today’s solo catch up episode is inspired by the change seen in Jac this summer that has been so inspiring to watch. She has seen a shift in herself and her perspective, and wanted to update everyone on where she’s at and how she got there. For Jackie, the key to her recovery was mindfulness. She encourages you to have awareness of where you’re at, and know that wherever that is, it’s okay. Danielle is also in a great place at the moment, and opens up about her one-year anniversary with therapy, and shares some tips on how she got to that point. Mental health is something your hosts strive to discuss frequently on the podcast, encouraging people to humanize healthcare workers and realize that they aren’t actually superhuman. Always, but especially considering September is Suicide Prevention Awareness month, we hope all healthcare workers know that they aren’t meant to carry this much alone, and that there are people there to help you shoulder the pain.
