Today, she uses her voice and her platform to break the stigma around mental health, advocate for survivors, and inspire those who may feel unseen or unheard.This conversation is not only inspiring but also a call to action—for more awareness, empathy, and support in mental health and survivor advocacy.🔗 Connect with Youssra on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/youssra-saab-5a913818Recommended Reading: The Body Keeps The ScoreThe Four AgreementsThe 40 Rules of LoveJoin us on the pod by emailing [email protected] OR by fill out this form: ⁠https://forms.gle/fDTXcNSDXYLJ4Xz18⁠ Check our our list of books recommended on the pod: https://linktr.ee/shaniak
