It's difficult for perfectionists to separate who we are from what we do. Unfortunately, we often define our worth by our latest achievements. But what happens when the pressure to do more and do it better drains us, leaving us physically and mentally exhausted?
In this episode, we look to Olympic gymnast Simone Biles for the answer. With the whole world watching, Simone unapologetically decided to prioritize her mental health - challenging us all to evaluate our need to do the same. Join us for a conversation about how to know when you need a mental health holiday and get some ideas for what a day for YOU might look like.
