Show Notes
In this podcast, I challenge the misconception that health professionals are immune to their own struggles. As a psychologist and co-founder of Hanu, I share my experiences with emotional stress and anxiety to show that anyone can face these challenges. It’s time to prioritize mental health as a crucial foundation of our wellness plans.
During the podcast, I discuss the power of mindfulness and being present in the moment. Breathing exercises are essential for embracing our emotional experiences. Additionally, I share my fitness routine, which includes Zone 2 and Zone 5 training for cardiorespiratory fitness. Join me on this journey to prioritize our mental health and embrace well-being through mindfulness, exercise, and other important aspects.
