How Supportive Relationships Elevate Your Mental Health
In this episode of Through the Mental Lens, we explore one of the most overlooked pillars of mental health—our relationships. While self-care often focuses inward on journaling, meditation, or exercise, true wellbeing is also built in connection with others.
I share why supportive relationships are vital to mental health (backed by decades of research) and break it down into three key pillars: setting healthy boundaries, having deeper conversations, and cultivating community. You’ll hear practical strategies you can apply right away—whether it’s saying no without guilt, asking better questions, or starting small rituals that strengthen connection.
