Poet, Author, Speaker, and Scatter Joy Advocate, Tanner Olson joins us on a special Mental Health Awareness Month episode where we talk all things hope. Hope is sometimes seen as wishful thinking, but Tanner describes hope as searching, moving and active. Hope is an action that we can all embody by staying present, practicing gratitude, and being surrounded by community. We also discuss the power of journaling, and how this simple act can create space in your day to process emotions and dig deeper into our experiences, helping us to prioritize problems, fears, and hope.
