Dina and Evelyn discuss self-care: what we think of it, areas we can improve, and how we can promote it. We had many laughs when making this episode! *Evelyn’s microphone seems to have cut in and out a few times… this shouldn’t happen in following episodes!

In this episode, Dina and Evelyn dive into a very common lived experience: feeling like an imposter!  We tackle reasons for feeling like an imposter, how this plays out in day-to-day life (hint hint: ever struggle accepting a compliment or writing an email?), and what we can do if we work together to combat this phenomenon!    If you're short on time but want to check our podcast out, we recommend listening at 1.5X (or even 2X) speed -- it's our favorite podcast listening hack!

We Are Human First episode 2! We made it! Today you will meet (drumroll please….) Dina! Dina is a wonderful friend, nurse, and human. In this episode, you’ll learn a bit about her and her path to become a PMHNP (listen to the episode to find out what that means :)). *Note: As a caveat — in this episode, Dina discusses the positive change that graduate school brought from a personal and social perceptive; however, the first semester (or two) was ROUGH, with debilitating imposter syndrome. We will do a deep dive on imposter syndrome, one of the most common human experiences, in the very near future!
