In this episode, a returning guest and I talk about the term 'masking' and how we can tell when we are struggling. Remember, it is never weak to ask for help when you find yourself struggling!
Today’s episode is all about burnout and stress (two things that unfortunately many of us are currently experiencing). I talk about the different ways that our body lets us know that we are burned out and how we can better manage our stress. While it is not as simple as putting on a Band-Aid, by learning about our stress and stressors, we can work towards completing our stress cycle.

In this episode, I discuss not only what the word resilient means, but more importantly what it means to me. I share personal stories of my own experiences of being resilient and remind you that YOU TOO are resilient!
In this quick episode, I introduce who I am and discuss why I’ve decided to venture into the world of podcasting. I discuss a bit of everything in this episode from what to expect for future episodes as well as what is resting above my fireplace.
