Dear Malaysians, how's your mental health? Mental Health Awareness Month is here, and we're honoured to have Shobana on the show. Shobana is a US-based behavioral coach manager and professional therapist by trade. 

In our interview with her, we look into questions like: Is going to therapy really a sign of weakness? Does going to therapy help or affect relationships? How do you find the right therapist? 

And since we're all Malaysians, we had to address the stigma around mental health in Malaysia. Does anyone else remember their teachers saying, "You belong in Tanjung Rambutan"? We talk about deeply ingrained issues like these that have lasted generations. 

We hope this episode inspires you to take steps towards caring for your mental health. Malaysia is definitely making progress, and we're all for it! Share your thoughts with us on our Instagram @malaysiansabroadpodcast. We'd love to hear from you!
