25. Mental Health Strategies: How to Prioritise Wellness & Break Down Stigma

Are you ready to prioritise your mental health this week?In this episode of "Wellbeing Interrupted," we focus on the dual challenges of prioritising your own mental health and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health conditions. Drawing from the powerful stories of Georgia and Amanda (Episode 24), we discuss practical ways to manage your mental wellness and encourage greater openness and understanding in society. Living with multiple sclerosis and stage 4 breast cancer has taught me the undeniable impact that chronic conditions can have on one’s mental health. This episode is a reflection of my journey and the actionable steps I've found helpful in not only managing my own mental health but also in fostering conversations that challenge misconceptions and reduce stigma. If you LOVED the episode, make sure you share this on your Instagram stories and tag us @HurdleToHope. KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS: Understand the importance of treating mental health with the same urgency as physical health. Embrace strategies such as engaging in social activities, accepting help, and exercising to enhance your mental wellness. Learn how to actively participate in destigmatizing mental health through sharing stories, initiating conversations, and showing empathy.SHOW RESOURCES:Podcast Website: Wellbeing InterruptedGoing Loco PodcastFollow me on Instagram: @hurdle2hopeRelated Episodes to Listen: (wherever you get your podcast or here!)Episode 24: Hurdle2Hope® Stories: Meet Georgia & Amanda 'Going Loco' Episode 5: Challenging Illness NarrativesEpisode 18: Hurdle2Hope® Stories - Meet Mariah MacInnessEpisode 20:  Hurdle2Hope® Stories - Meet Lousie Butcher If you like this episode, don't forget to share it to your Instagram stories and tag me @hurdle2hopeOther than that, enjoy - chat next week!Send Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a health challenge, download the free guide here: https://teisharose.com/overwhelmed/ If you’re ready for more support, explore the Thriving Through Chronic Illness course and one-on-one coaching here: https://teisharose.com/thrivingWHERE TO GO NEXTIf you’re navigating a health challenge, you can find support and resources atTeishaRose.comIf you’re a professional or organisation looking to strengthen connection and resilience in your work, visitHurdle2Hope.comI’d love to connect with you,TeishaAlso, are you following @hurdle2hope on social media?
