Speaking Our Minds

On today’s episode, I had the pleasure of having a conversation with the wonderful @paulafaris. We’re talking about overcoming imposter syndrome, the leap of faith in changing directions for your life, and who we are outside of our career and accomplishments.

Paula Faris is a senior national correspondent at ABC News and host of the popular podcast Journeys of Faith with Paula Faris, which gives an intimate look at how some of the world’s most influential people lean on faith and spirituality in the best and worst of times. An Emmy Award-winning journalist, Paula previously was co-anchor of the Good Morning America weekend edition, as well as a co-host of The View.

Lately I’ve been taking some steps back, reorienting myself to adjust to new changes, finding solitude and grounding within my own internal life, putting necessary online boundaries in place, looking at credible research and thinking critically about how to approach the many conversations taking place right now.

It’s overwhelming. There’s both a health crisis and a mental health crisis taking place. The anxiety of an unknown future rises. It holds hands with the depression of isolation. Our survival instincts have been heightened and we’re grieving a lost sense of normalcy.

So what are some of the top tips mental health professionals are recommending during this time? Tune in...
