Episode Synopsis

Hello and welcome to episode 008 of the be the wave podcast. 
In this episode, I talk about my mental health story with anxiety and depression. I believe in the importance of transparency and authenticity on the virtual platform, and I hope that those of you who listen to this episode know more about what I went through. Everyone’s mental health struggles look different, but I hope that my story validates and normalizes yours. And remember, you are worthy regardless of anything and everything, and it is okay to ask for help.
