Hey everyone! Today I have an amazing guest on this episode, she happens to not only work alongside my bf but she's also a great friend of mine, Ellie. In this episode Ellie and I talk about how work can impact mental health and how to cope from responsibilities you take on to work so that you don't end up carrying them outside of work and into home. This was such an interesting conversation because it just opened up my viewpoint of how work truly does have such a big impact of how we may view ourselves. Hope you all enjoy!

Welcome to another episode in this one I have my wonderful friend Ibteahal that I've known from community college come by and be a guest.

This is sort of a trial and error thing guys so sorry about that! But I had so much fun recording this even with the difficulties along the way. This is literally just like a conversation I would have with my best friend so please join us!
