STARTING YOUR MENTAL HEALTH JOURNEY & OWNING YOUR WELLNESS | PART 1
LET’S TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH.
Megan and Alex show us that mental health doesn’t have to be scary; becoming curious about your own mental health can become a source of your own superpowers.
ABOUT.
On our very first episode, join our UPLIFT teens, Alex Andrews and Megan Buncher, as they open up and share their mental health journeys. As Alex so eloquently says in the episode, she grew up struggling with mental health and wished that there was something out there that she could be like, “Hey, I’m not the only one going through this, there’s other people going through this. Let’s hear somebody else say, I hear you, I see you, we’re doing this together. So that it’s not just me.” Let’s demystify and destigmatize mental health, explore self-love, and talk about all the things from self-care to social anxiety. Megan Buncher is one of our 200 hour certified teen teachers at UPLIFT and can be found on our YouTube channel teaching our essential OWN IT meditation.
