Let’s talk about mental health as an expat, shall we?
At the beginning of the May on the Move challenge, I knew I wanted to incorporate some collaborations. I’d wanted to do some for a while and this presented the perfect opportunity.
This week, we’re taking a look at mental health. I sat down for a chat with Ettie Jayne from The Alignment Alchemist to talk about mental health as expats, how the pandemic affected our mental health and self-care/self-love.
I have deliberately become very open around the topic of mental health and mental illnesses over the past few years. Unfortunately, I have seen and am currently seeing what ignoring mental illness and poor mental health can do to a person (not myself, I should say).
So it is of great personal importance that I talk openly about my own mental health.
