In this episode, I overview how Mental Health intersects with Adulting. What challenges do we face when transitioning into adulthood, and how can mental health affect careers, relationships, and self-worth?

Those early mornings sucked, bro lol, but those were the moments where I was able to discover parts of myself that were hidden. I wanted to know the most authentic and favorite version of myself, not the product of the environments I've experienced. I nonjudgmentally questioned my thoughts, actions, and behaviors. And ask myself, is this who I am to be? Anything that didn't align was removed, and it hurt more than it felt good at the time. But now, I can see and feel the payoff.

In this riveting episode of The Inside Perspective, I open up about my recent journey with autism/neurodivergence and the transformative power of self-reflection in nurturing non-judgmental self-support. As I navigated my daily life, I found myself increasingly grappling with irritability and frustration, struggling to recognize the person I once knew. This realization prompted me to seek more substantial support.

One technique that has been instrumental in helping me avoid self-judgment is simply listening. I allowed the various voices in my mind to speak freely and then transcribed their words. Upon reflection, I often discovered that these voices did not belong to me. This process has been incredibly enlightening, uncovering a deeper understanding of my inner thoughts and feelings.
