Your job affects your mental health! I've said this many times over the last few years, and in this episode, first generation Latina therapist Daisy Gómez expands on how those effects show up and what you can do about it. Daisy, who is a licensed mental health therapist from Chicago, found her own well-being impacted by the heavy toll of direct service work, so she pivoted and found a way to use her skills, serve her community, AND prioritize her own mental health while doing it.

That is the biggest theme of this episode: prioritizing your own mental health. We talked about setting boundaries (my favorite!!!), choosing a therapist, and how your own individual healing journey actually has a ripple effect to those around you and allows them to heal as well! It is such a great conversation!
