Episode One – Mind Matters: Breaking Myths and Building Mental Wellness - Part One

Release Date – May 16th, 2025.

Summary – In this two-part episode, we discuss the common misconceptions and challenges surrounding mental health and the stigma that still prevents many from seeking the help they need. Just like physical health, mental health requires attention, maintenance, and preventative care. We explore the role of education in shaping how we understand and talk about mental health, and why early awareness is key to long term wellbeing. What can we do daily, weekly, or monthly to maintain good mental health? We discuss practical strategies, including identifying warning signs, using reframing techniques, and creating strong “bookends” to start and end a day with intention. Tune in for an honest and empowering conversation that reminds us about the importance of taking care of one’s mental health.
