What can we do daily, weekly, or monthly to maintain good mental health? We discuss practical strategies, including identifying warning signs, using reframing techniques, and creating strong “bookends” to start and end a day with intention.

Season 2: Episode 2 – Redefining Strength: Unraveling the Mindsets Behind Domestic Violence and the Hope for Change. Release Date – October 20th, 2023. Summary – Michelle and Alfredo start this second episode discussing how Alfredo found himself in the field of Domestic Violence. Then together they explore how many individuals involved in domestic violence often grapple with deeply seeded beliefs.
