In this episode of V Aware, we dive into the connection between mental health and brain health. Mental health is often misunderstood, but reframing it as brain health can shift the stigma and encourage self-care. I share the tools in my mental health toolbox that have helped me maintain balance, including emotional support, mindfulness practices, and connecting with like-minded individuals.

We’ll also explore the importance of setting boundaries, the role of chosen family, and how therapy has played a crucial role in my healing journey. By stepping into our power and aligning with our higher selves, we can cultivate a supportive and intentional lifestyle. Tune in for an open and honest conversation about breaking the stigma and prioritizing wellness.
