Ever found yourself stuck in a rut, feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? In my heartfelt conversation with Nyeesha Williams, a mental well-being expert and NAMI board member, we learned that resilience is not about rigidity but about finding grace amidst adversity. With her personal journey of seeking forgiveness as a beacon, she guides us through understanding resilience in a new light, emphasizing self-care and compassion. We also discuss how practicing self-compassion and setting boundaries are key to thriving.
But what happens when the world around us is too much to bear? In these uncertain times, Nyeesha talks about the importance of stepping back and taking care of our own well-being amidst the flood of news and social media. This isn't selfish, but a crucial step towards extending our compassion to others more effectively.
Nyeesha Williams is a mental well-being expert with an extensive background in healthcare, specializing in women's health and trauma survivors, and has had diverse roles as an adjunct professor, humanitarian, author, life coach, and NAMI board member, reflecting her unwavering commitment to the field. She firmly believes that self-care and self-awareness are integral to happiness and personal growth and is credentialed by Renaissance Life Therapies, Harvard Business School, the National Institute for Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine, and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing's Mental Health First Aid.
In addition, Nyeesha is the founder and executive director of Serenity For Mothers, a membership-based community that serves as a safe haven for BIPOC mothers to rediscover themselves.
