Welcome to Self-Care for Mental Health 🌊

I'm so glad you are here! 🫶

Hi friend,

Do you find yourself wanting to check out? Are you staring into space instead of being able to focus on what is right in front of you?

It can feel very scary and unsettling when we don’t feel like ourselves. It is important to be gentle and kind as we acknowledge what is going on and remind ourselves this is just a place we are passing through. 

Today’s episode is an invitation to pull up a chair and sit with yourself as I share from my own experience of not feeling like myself and steps I took to care for myself.

 

Listen in. 

Your presence matters here. <3 With you,

Amy
