In this podcast episode, we explore the crucial importance of prioritizing your mental health and forming a care plan tailored to your unique needs. Acknowledging that mental health is just as significant as physical health, we debunk the notion that there is a one-size-fits-all description of good mental health. Everyone's experience varies, and understanding our triggers, emotional baselines, and reactions becomes vital for self-awareness.
The episode emphasizes that nurses, like anyone else, can face fluctuating mental health due to personal or biological factors. We learn that addressing our mental health is a holistic journey encompassing mind, body, and soul. By actively participating in the creation of our care plan, we regain a sense of control, leading to a reduction in mental health symptoms.
The episode encourages listeners to identify specific areas of their mental health they wish to address and take small steps towards improvement. Practical suggestions are provided, such as creating a peaceful environment for better communication or joining supportive self-help organizations to combat anxiety and depression.
Listeners are prompted to reflect on who is caring for them and reminded that self-care is essential. The episode advocates for open conversations about mental health with loved ones and emphasizes the empathic support that can come from sharing experiences and seeking assistance. Tune in to this insightful podcast episode to gain a deeper understanding of mental health and the significance of forming a care plan.
Project ReNew
These are not just stories.
They are anchors.
Written in the after,
after the shift,
after the silence,
after the moment you wondered if you could still keep going.
This space isn’t loud.
It doesn’t shout advice.
But if you let it,
it might steady something in you.
A small pull toward the part of you
that still believes in why you began.
Not because it’s easy.
Because it’s yours.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
