322. Breaking The Stigma: Christians and Medication
21/08/2024 Duration: 42minHey friends! In this episode, I'm discussing the topic of Christians and medication with Sarah Bott. We also broke down some practical self-care tips. For example, one of us finds watching something funny every day is a great way to boost those endorphins! We chat about how self-care looks different for everyone—whether it's playing video games, cuddling a pet, or taking a walk. We’re all unique, and that’s totally okay. Plus, we shared why we believe therapy is something everyone should try at some point. Finding the right therapist is like finding the right doctor—it might take a few tries, but it’s worth it for your well-being. We hope this conversation encourages you to take that next step in caring for yourself, whether it’s reaching out to a friend, therapist, or just giving yourself some grace.
