In this solo episode, I reflect on what it means to care for ourselves—mentally, emotionally, and physically—during heavy times. With everything happening globally, nationally, and even in our own homes, it’s no surprise that many of us are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or ungrounded.
I share my own experiences with mental health and how I’m learning to meet myself with grace, compassion, and softness—even when I’m not showing up “perfectly.” I talk about how our relationships with food and our bodies are deeply impacted by stress, grief, systemic oppression, and community struggles—and why now, more than ever, we need to reject shame and lean into nourishment and rest.
This episode is a gentle reminder: you are not alone. You matter. And your needs are valid—even when the world tells you to keep going, keep grinding, and keep shrinking.
