E-Mail Reply: 28-Years-Old and Searching For Purpose, who can relate? Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to another mini episode inspired by a beautiful, vulnerable e-mail sent to the Yoga to Cope inbox. Personally, I can relate HARD to being 28 and wondering WTF I'm supposed to be doing and where I'm supposed to be heading. Ever felt like the job, the car, the house, etc. were going to make you feel better, but they didn't? This e-mailer can relate and so can I. Tune in to hear the message we received and my best go at replying with all the wisdom I contain as a now-30-year-old. Something on your mind? You can always e-mail us at hello@yogatocope.org YOGA TO COPE IS A 501(c)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION AIMING TO PROVIDE COMPLETELY FREE, ONLINE, YOGA-BASED RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE COPING WITH TRAUMA, PRE-TRAUMA, GRIEF, DEPRESSION, AND THE LIKE.

*TRIGGER WARNING* This episode talks about self harm and suicide, so please tune in with care. Today's mini episode was inspired by another beautiful, important e-mail received by the Yoga to Cope team.

It also spoke to a huge community of young people self-harming, feeling hopeless, and feeling alone. Tune in to this mini episode to hear when to seek therapy (spoiler alert: it's not only for people in crisis) and why it is so important to let go of the untrue narratives we so often tell ourselves related to mental health, self harm, and seeking help.
