Welcome to the first episode of The Well Mind! In this episode I talk with Dr. Jennifer Londgren about a number of different topics. We explore the self-care mindset, identity as motivation for behavior, building meaningful connection in our time of distancing and disconnection, how to change your state, recognizing and dealing with burnout, and building sustainable habits for wellness. Jenna is a licensed marriage and family therapist, a professor of alcohol and drug studies at Minnesota State University-Mankato, an expert on all things self-care, a mom, a wife, and a friend. Jenna’s energy is so positive and I love how she approaches ideas with such curiosity. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
