  • 17. Talking life changes for your twenties with Anna Rodin

    Anna Rodin is an author, a yoga teacher, and a college student. At just 21 years old, she has taken a nontraditional approach to life between going abroad at 18 to Italy, taking a semester off later on to get her yoga teacher certification, transferring schools, and now writing and publishing a book.

    Mental health has played an enormous role in her life and self-love journey. Uncovering old wounds and facing old traumas, mostly from childhood, has been an extremely painful but important experience that she believes everyone would benefit from, especially in their twenties.

    She speaks on mental health and wellness for people in their twenties, as well as wellness and health in general in terms of the role it plays in each of our individual lives.

About Brain Wellness - the Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Hosted by Mandi, a Nurse Practitioner with 20+ years in healthcare (nearly all in neurology), this show started with a plan to cover all things related to brain health & wellness, but morphed into being mostly concussion & traumatic brain injury (TBI) related topics after the host's own TBI experience.
