Description

What does mental health care look like between therapy sessions and diagnoses?

In this Mental Health Awareness Month episode, I explore the daily habits that support emotional well-being—especially for those of us with codependent tendencies.

We cover:

  • Why your “lizard brain” still jumps to worst-case scenarios
  • How asking “what do I need today?” can feel hard but healing
  • Small practices that build resilience: saying no, resting early, and pausing to breathe

Mental health isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about showing up for yourself daily—with compassion, not crisis.
