What is self empowerment, and how does it help to improve your mental health? Well, for starters, empowering yourself is a choice to work on your world within and start showing yourself greater kindness and support… and it’s also a choice to draw your motivation from within, rather than relying on others. After all, it’s your life… so why not learn how to be your own cheerleader?!

If you’ve ever wondered about how to build a stronger relationship with yourself, then this episode will help you to find new ways to approach your life. Ready to start empowering yourself more? Then let’s talk! 🙂

I’ll help you take a good look at why you make excuses, and figure out how to take responsibility for your life so you can make greater progress towards your goals and aspirations. 

So, let’s talk! 🙂

Many of us have patterns that show up often in our lives, such as how our relationships look or how we approach work... but did you know that it’s possible to change patterns in your life that aren’t in your best interests? Identifying patterns is the first step in doing that, and in this episode I'll show you how to identify patterns that impact your mental health.

Some patterns are healthy, some are harmless… however, some negative patterns turn into vicious cycles that have the potential to make your mental health worse if you don’t do something about them… so that’s what I’m talking about this week in Episode 222 of the Let’s Talk About Mental Health podcast.

Ready to change your life for the better? Then let’s talk! 🙂

Recently I decided that quitting YouTube and choosing to stop making videos each week was the best decision for me. Why? There were several contributing factors, so I made this video to explain why and to also share the message that quitting is not a bad thing (and I’ll explore why that is in the video).
