Are you lacking motivation right now? Or maybe feeling fatigued? Melancholy? Or maybe you describe it as feeling meh or weird? You are not alone. Emily has been feeling this way and almost every client she's seen recently has described these feelings as well.
These feelings can be coming from a lot of different things like the changing of seasons, our personal stages of life, our ‘new normal’ with covid, our day to day responsibilities, and the list keeps going on and on…
In this episode, Emily dives into whether you are experiencing a diagnosable condition or just trying to be a human in 2022. She also discusses our ‘new normal’ with covid and how we can help ourselves start to climb out of this ‘meh’ rut!
