Hey lady! You might have noticed a theme this year. As we navigate our way through this oppressive regime we are making sure that taking time to check in with ourselves is high on our priority list. That’s why this week, Dr. Dom and Terri have a gentle conversation about why it’s important to assess your mental health from time to time. Sometimes in the day-to-day of life it’s easy to overlook signs of depression, struggle, overwhelm, and self-neglect. However, as the pressure to perform during this perilous time increases knowing where you stand will be important to your self-preservation. Black people have a fight ahead of us as we work to claw back our rights. Taking good care of your mental and emotional health will make sure that not only are you fit for the fight but also that you have a good quality of life full of meaning, joy, and pleasure. So, tap into this episode and let it be a guide to improving your mental health and building a toolkit of care and support to keep you whole and healthy. If you need extra support, be sure to book a consultation with Dr. Dom. She can provide a container of support and meet you where you are as you strengthen your ability to care for yourself.   Quote of the Day: “Functioning is not the same as being well.” – Unknown   Goal Mapping Starter Guide Cultivating H.E.R.
