Pieces To Wellness
I believe mental health is a spectrum, one end is wellness and on the other end is illness. These conversations we have will offer up tips and tools to not only bring you closer to the wellness side, but also help keep you there. TPP. (Author & formerly of Above Ground Podcast) has put together a new mental health podcast that is chock full of lived experiences, wellness tips & practical tools to provide you with some pieces… but it is up to you to put them together. Reach that level of wellness that you have been working towards with the help from co- host & yogi, Karen. Take out that tool box and let’s share tools together! Remember , the road to a better you is paved with Pieces To Wellness
