In this deeply personal episode of Mental Matters , host Asekho sits down with Karen, a beacon of resilience who has faced some of life’s toughest challenges head-on. Together, they explore the raw realities of addiction, grief, and mental health struggles within families—topics often shrouded in silence but affecting countless lives worldwide. Karen shares her harrowing journey of performing CPR on her daughter during an overdose, managing family dynamics amid addiction relapses, and finding hope after despair. She also opens up about how COVID-19 amplified existing mental health vulnerabilities, forcing many, including herself, to confront buried emotions. This conversation dives into the importance of holistic wellness—balancing physical, emotional, and spiritual health—and why leaning on supportive communities can make all the difference. If you or someone you love is navigating similar storms, this episode offers practical advice, heartfelt encouragement, and a reminder that healing is possible, even when it feels out of reach.
