👉 Your Time and Space to Heal in Community ❤️🩹
**TOP 5% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST**
⏰ Do you struggle to prioritize TIME for yourself to heal?
🤝 Are you longing for CONNECTION with others who “get it”?
🗣️ Do you desire SAFE SPACES to have deep meaningful conversations without fear of judgement?
😵💫 Are you tired of spiraling into shame and isolation instead of moving towards what NOURISHES you?
If any of this sounds like you, can we be friends??!! Self-Care for Mental Health is your time and space to heal in community. 🫶
Hi friend, I’m Amy – a table enthusiast who loves sunshine ☀️, coffee ☕️, and creating spaces where people feel safe to talk about their mental health and wellness. ❤️🩹🌊
I am a Certified Peer Specialist and Self-Care Coach who has seen first hand how important it is when we learn how to love ourselves right where we need to be on our way to where we want to go.
I spent years longing to connect with others in deep meaningful ways but too often I was stuck in cycles of shame, not prioritizing my own self-care. I lived in silence, feeling invisible. It wasn’t until I risked being vulnerable and sharing what I was living with, that I found a community of peers with similar lived experiences where I could heal authentically.
I believe having safe spaces to talk about our mental health and wellness is essential to recovering our lives. Self-Care for Mental Health is a safe space where you will hear from a community of peers who understand what it is like to live with mental health challenges, and who daily inspire hope that mental health and wellness recovery is possible for everyone.
If you are done not making your own self-care a priority, tired of slipping into shame cycles leading to isolation, and are curious about having a safe space where you can connect with others in a non-judgmental environment, you’re in the right place. Get ready to be surrounded by love and acceptance wherever you are on your wellness journey. Your presence matters here!
Reheat your emotional support coffee and join me at the table ☕️
With you,
Amy
