TW: Suicide
Grab a drink and join me as I ring in the new year!
This week on The Search For Serotonin podcast, I am doing a recap of 2022! I know I missed the last few weeks of the year, but I’m back to share why this year wasn’t the year I wanted or expected, but the year I needed. I share my word of the year, which is resiliency, and I also share the top 5 books that helped me heal and the top 5 things that helped my mental health this year. To wrap up this week’s episode I get personal by sharing the letter I wrote on the first day of 2022 to future 2023 me. Hear how I fell short of some expectations, and how I’m reframing my search for serotonin in the new year!
