Send us a textTW - This conversation does touch on sensitive topics linked to anxiety and panic attacks so listen with care and if you don't think this is the type of conversation for you to listen to today, check out some of our other episodes and tune in next week!Today we're talking about self care as a tool to support our mental health. I share my own experiences with low periods and anxiety, and how slowly building in self-care habits has equipped me with the tools I need to make it through some tough times. There's no one way to do this self care, and it's not always easy to be consistent. Even just a mindset shift towards the impact of self care on your mental well-being can let us access a safe space within ourselves, and is so so important.
