Episode description

Let’s normalize feeling just “okay.” All of a sudden, we have an expectation that we need to be happy all of the time, and if we aren’t, we must be doing something wrong.  In today’s episode, I get to reset expectations around mental health with a fellow licensed mental health counselor and host of the podcast “Okayish”, Mary Ellen Dance. 

This episode dives into: 

  • What self-care actually is and what it means.

  • The false expectation that we should be happy all of the time.

  • Managing negative or uncomfortable emotions.

  • The unhelpful influence of social media on our perception of what mental health truly is.
