In this bonus episode for Mental Health Awareness Month, Dr. Angela Downey shares five powerful mindset shifts that challenge how we think about healing and self-care:
- Healing isn’t linear — Growth often looks messy, not perfect.
- You can struggle and still be strong — Vulnerability is courage, not weakness.
- Feeling your feelings isn’t weakness — Emotions are messengers, not problems to fix.
- Rest is productive — You don’t need to earn your downtime.
- Boundaries protect your peace — Limits aren’t selfish, they’re essential.
This episode is for anyone navigating burnout, people-pleasing, codependency, or just feeling overwhelmed by mental health advice that doesn’t reflect real life.
