They share with us their own journey while weaving in key insights to help drive your own mental health journey.

In this episode, Sandy discusses with her personal mental wellness gurus, Beth Shaha & Jen Hampton, what mental fitness means to them and how they incorporate it into everyday life.  Beth introduces the concept of “the power of the pause” and using it to make decisions while Jen talks about the importance of listening to what your body is telling you and tapping into your own intuition.   Both bring powerful insights and practices that will help us all to make mental fitness part of our daily routine.
