Episode 166 - Mental Health, Mood Disorders and Medicine with Hannah Heidel / @nourisheddgirl
Continuing with our 8 dimensions of wellness series, we are joined by Hannah Heidel, who is a master's student of holistic nutrition science.
ABOUT HANNAH HEIDEL:
She goes by the social media handle @ nourisheddgirl where she shares a variety of wellness content of her journey and conscious lifestyle. You’ll find vulnerable and heart-centered videos featuring her routines, grocery shopping, recipes, self-care activities, her experience with anxiety and opening up about the reality of her healing process.
TAKEAWAYS:
Authenticity is key on social media. Being true to yourself and sharing both the good and the bad can create a safe space for others.
Prioritizing mental health is essential. It's important to listen to your body, set boundaries, and make choices that support your well-being.
Comparison on social media can be toxic. Being mindful of who you follow and how it makes you feel is crucial for maintaining a positive mental state.
Saying no is necessary for self-care. It's important to prioritize your own needs and not feel guilty about setting boundaries.
Reconnecting with hobbies and engaging in inner child healing can bring joy and help in the healing process.
