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.
