049 The Struggle with Self-Care with Amanda Runnels

We are facing a national mental health crisis that has the potential of causing chaos for years to come. The 2020 Stress in America report shows that nearly 8 in 10 Americans have said that the current pandemic is a significant stressor in their life. This along with politics, economy, healthcare, natural disasters, schooling issues, and more have resulted in an uncertain future. The stressors have resulted in high levels of reported negative behavior, tension in their bodies, “snapping” or getting angry quickly, unexpected moods swings, and yelling at loved ones. Like never before we need to learn how to care for our spirit, soul and body. Today, I am going to tackle the struggle with self-care with one of my BF’s IRL Amanda Runnels, the coach and champion for whole-istic Christ-centered health behind the blog Unrefined Junkie.
