Let's Chat About It

Racism is quite insidious and its effects are far-reaching, it's no surprise that it impacts mental health. This was recorded a couple months ago and with this episode's guest host, Danielle, an attempt is made to cover what effects racism can have on mental health and we share our own experiences. This is a big topic that I feel while we covered many different aspects, they were only slightly touched on. I will mostly likely continue to cover this in the future, from different angles, different perspectives, and different races. There is so much to say! And much to be done too.

I'd love to say I'm starting to make sense of our new normal but the world keeps taking me by surprise every day. With this episode, I invite you to take a pause and join me in a grounding exercise to practice being in the moment. Updates and brief recap of life in the beginning. Wishing you lots of moment of rest until we meet again!

hello again! during this time it's important to monitor how much information you take in regarding this new virus so here is an overview of what I'll be discussing so you can decide if this is something you're in the mental space to listen to:

*how we can slow down the spread of covid-19

okay this is tangentially related to mental health -- I find this show is absolutely fascinating in observing unhealthy behaviour in relationships. SPOILER ALERT: I will be discussing my thoughts on the relationships up until the finale. If you don't want anything to be spoiled, do not listen!! If you're like me and lowkey obsessed with this show, definitely connect on social media :) who's your favourite couple? I love Lauren & Cameron the most.

a quick n tidy episode to get back in the flow of things! First known use of the SMART term is by George Doran in Nov 1981 but has been modified and worked on by many different authors since then. My notes on procrastination come from lecture from one of my favourite psych profs, Dr. Moscicki. Her passion for both psychology and teaching is inspiring.
