Q&A

What do you do to take care of your own mental health?
I find that my mental health maintenance requires a multi-faceted approach. This involves maintaining connections with friends and loved ones, keeping up with an exercise routine, paying attention to my emotions, and striving for work/life balance.
What would you say to a friend struggling with a mental health issue?
You don't need to deal with this alone, there is strength in asking for help.
What is an internal challenge that you've had recently?
Lately, I’ve struggled with defining what success means to me. I think we been socialized, to understand success as reaching economic goals and social milestones, and when you begin comparing yourself to others, this seems like an accessible benchmark.
