  • How are you REALLY doing?

    How are you REALLY doing?
    May 2 2021
    The calendar has turned to May which I consider one of the most important months of the year because May is Mental Health Awareness month. Before COVID came into our lives, many people were already struggling with their mental health and as a society we were struggling to have an open and clear dialogue on this sensitive topic. The last year hasn’t helped! Our collective mental health is significantly strained and we still aren’t making much progress. So on this episode, let’s have an open and honest dialogue about where we are, and what we can all be doing to improve the mental health for ourselves and those around us.
