Is it anxiety? Is it burnout? Or are you just human in a broken world?
In this vulnerable and wide-ranging episode, Kristin and Laura dive deep into what mental health really means — and why it’s often confused with mental illness. Through personal stories, psychology frameworks, and way too many Twilight references, they unpack:
• The difference between mental health, mental illness & compromised wellbeing
• Why mindfulness isn’t always the answer
• What self-compassion and small wins actually look like in practice
• How societal distrust and disconnection are shaping burnout
• The mental toll of misogyny, political fear, and online violence
This episode blends theory with lived experience — and it’s as much about surviving as it is about resisting. Because it turns out being "okay" isn’t the point. Being real might be.
