Let us heed Nida Jawed's call to action, working together to dismantle barriers, prioritize mental health equity, and ensure that every individual has the opportunity to thrive and flourish.

Emotional well-being is about expressing and managing your feelings successfully. The way we process everything depends on our ability to decide what will and will not affect us.

So often we keep charging ahead and we do not stop to celebrate or savor the moments of our personal growth. Take time to think about your wins and allow it to fuel your fire into the next year.

After years of obsessive digging and seeking, it turns out what I had been looking for was my SELF: My true, authentic, intuitive, creative, beautiful, worthy self that had been silenced.

Values are what give our life meaning and purpose. When I listen to my intuition, it is in effect my inner wisdom encouraging me to question if the decisions I am making align with my values.
