“A lot of times when we talk about mental illness or mental health, I think there’s a lot missing from the conversation. I don’t think we always do a great job focusing on mental wellness, and realizing that we all have mental health we have to take care of. It doesn’t always have to be about mental illness.”

Whew @hellodrjoy!! 🥺🥺🥺
This week’s episode of @therapy4bgirls went there. What a fantastic conversation. Saving this episode to go back and take some notes.
My TED talk crossed 500,000 views the other day after going up a little over a week ago.
Best part so far, though, is people writing me talking about things they’re doing after having seen it.
Check it out if you haven’t seen it
