Have you noticed feeling a little more anxious, irritable, or drained? Maybe you can’t really identify a specific reason? You're not alone. The things going on around us has a profound impact on our emotional well-being, often in ways we don't readily recognize.
In this episode, I talk about how seemingly distant or irrelevant events that can create ripples that touch our lives; affecting our emotions, relationships, and even our ability to heal from trauma. I'll share insights from my background in social work and personal experiences to show how social systems directly impact our daily lives and mental health.
Your healing journey is uniquely yours, but it doesn't happen in isolation.
By understanding the bigger picture, you can be proactive in taking care of yourself and make informed choices about your well-being, the well-being of those you love, and even have a broader impact on your community.
