Episode Synopsis

Hello and welcome to episode 009 of the be the wave podcast. 
In this episode, I talk about what therapy has done for me as I handled my anxiety and depression. This is in continuation of my previous episode 008 to honor mental health awareness month and as part of my effort in trying to make conversations about mental health be more open and transparent. Like I stated in the previous episode, 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.
