Mental health trials, errors, and finding your way out: Kat's divorce story

This episode features Kat Foldvari, and we’re talking about mental health. Kat also shares some of her own divorce story.

She talks about her own high expectations of herself to navigate her mental health through divorce, stigma, stress responses, triggers and ways we can pull ourselves through.

Recognizing that there is a huge gap in mental health services and support, especially for people going through separation and divorce, Kat’s dedicated to providing mental health education, helping people navigate the system and advocating for the development of additional resources.
