Wow we really cleared "a hunnit" episodes + our origin story

LISTEN TO EP 100: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY

I’ve wanted to quit this podcast so many times, so it feels like a big accomplishment to have made it to 100 episodes. Even in my lack of consistency, I still feel proud of the content I am putting out. This podcast was born out of a desire to create a safe space for us to work on healing and self care. It all started when I quit my stable and well-paying government job to move to New York and pursue other dreams. It changed the trajectory of the rest of my life.

My mom was so supportive in my decision to move from Baltimore to New York, and something I had to unpack a lot in therapy is the “what ifs” of if I had stayed. If you’ve been around for the rest of these 100 episodes, you know that my mom passing away while I was living in New York was the catalyst for my own mental health journey. And that journey of mental health, self care, healing, and grieving has been the core of this podcast from its beginning as Destination Heal to today as Self Care IRL.
