Join us for today’s episode, diving into a critical topic: "It's Okay Not to Be Okay." Inspired by a poignant video from Norwich City Football Club, we explore the importance of checking in on those around us, especially when they appear fine on the surface. We discuss the societal pressures to mask our true feelings and the impact of this on our mental health. We also highlight how celebrity suicides often shock us, emphasizing the need for better mental health support. Our conversation touches on effective ways to interact with others, fostering an environment where people feel safe to share their struggles. We stress the importance of active listening, avoiding rushed solutions, and being genuinely present for those in need. Tune in to this thought-provoking episode and learn how to create a more supportive environment for yourself and others. Don't forget to check out the video that inspired this discussion in our show notes. Let's work together to make it okay not to be okay.
