Bohdanna and I both share our stories from childhood, and how we transcended our struggles with relationships and mental, emotional burnout later in life. Roman talks about how he learned to trust those who could trust themselves, and how places of refuge turned into places of addiction. Bohdanna talks about how parent-pleasing as a young child turned into people-pleasing later in life. We touch upon Bohdanna's burnout during our honeymoon, and how we coped to get our relationship back on track. We discuss what holistic really means, and why getting to the root of an issue is so important.Next Friday we'll discuss the greatest foundational pillar of mental health that allowed us to become who we are today.You are more powerful than you know.
