Speaker 0: is not merely in our heads, it's in our circumstances, you can't heal a sick culture with personal bandages. We still live in a world that normalizes physical health challenges but stigmatizes mental health challenges. As we head into a new post pandemic reality. It's time to rethink our understanding of mental health and well being not depressed. Doesn't mean you're not struggling, not burned out, doesn't mean you're fired up by acknowledging that so many of us are languishing. We can start giving voice to quiet despair and lighting a path out of the void. P. R. X.

Luke's Note

Just as we all grieved the loss of normalcy in the early days of the pandemic, many now feel an emotion called “languish”, described as the middle child of mental health somewhere between burnout and depression.
