E1: 🌻 Sunflowers – “You Made Me Happy When Skies Were Grey” 🎙️

Hi everyone — I’m Kashavíyah: a medical student, future psychiatrist, and the host of What Helps You?, a mental health podcast about the small but powerful practices that keep us grounded.In this first episode, I open up about heartbreak, resilience, and the moment sunflowers taught me that beauty can bloom even in broken places. What started as a simple scene outside a Marine Corps chow hall became a lifelong reminder to keep turning toward the light—no matter how heavy life feels.My hope is that this story gives you something gentle to carry into your own life—whether it’s one sunflower in a glass or a whole counter full when your spirit needs lifting. Life can still be beautiful even when it isn’t pretty, and you can stay radiant even in rocky soil.Thank you for being here for the very beginning of What Helps You?.If this resonates, follow along on Instagram @shavie4ever21 , and if you’d like to be a guest, send me a DM.We’re building a community where our shared humanity becomes our healing.Love y’all — and until next time, maybe go get yourself some sunflowers. 🌻Support the show
