Ever wonder what it's really like to build a mental health platform while navigating your own battles?

This week on "A Mental Health Break," we're joined by the incredible Tamar Blue, Founder and CEO of MentalHappy. Tamar's on a mission to bring affordable, community-based mental health care to everyone, especially underserved populations, through her HIPAA-compliant Telehealth platform for support groups.

But her journey isn't just about building a groundbreaking company. Tamar shares a raw, behind-the-scenes look at how leading MentalHappy forced her to confront her own emotional limits and develop healthier coping tools.

In this powerful episode, Tamar opens up about:

• Her personal experience overcoming panic attacks: what triggered them, how she recognized the signs, and the practical tools she used to regain control.
• The unexpected impact of small changes in diet, movement, and meaningful connection on her mental health routine, and how these habits created a foundation for strength and presence.
• What it truly takes to show up for others while learning to show up for yourself—and how you can find community and support, even when you feel misunderstood.

Tamar's story is a testament to resilience, innovation, and the power of connection. If you're an entrepreneur, a caregiver, or anyone looking to build a stronger mental foundation, this episode is for you.

Press play to hear Tamar's invaluable insights and learn how to foster your own mental well-being with practical, community-driven strategies.
