In this episode, we challenge the societal belief that seeking help for mental health is a weakness. Joined by Eda Franco, our dear cousin and seasoned mental health expert, we flip that narrative on its head, asserting that prioritizing mental health is a strength. With Eda’s vast experience and wisdom, we offer a new perspective on mental health, viewing it as a spectrum that affects everyone, not just a condition for a select few.

We also tackle the often-overlooked topic of generational mental health, encouraging you to break away from harmful patterns and prioritize your mental wellness. Tune in for an insightful and resource-rich conversation that reminds you why taking care of your mental health is essential.Article referenced:Artificial food dyes may cause behavior problems.
