Founder of Fit Life Wellness, a private mental health and wellness practice. Author of the guided journal I Can, I Will. 🧠 Key Topics Discussed 🧘♀️ What Therapy Really Is Therapy is not just “talking on a couch”—it’s a safe space for vulnerability, healing, and personal growth. It involves unpacking emotional challenges, not just surface-level advice. 🔄 Life Transitions Includes shifts like: Moving from corporate to entrepreneurship Divorce or children leaving home Personal reinvention Therapy helps individuals navigate uncertainty and redefine stability. 🧑💼 Mental Health for Entrepreneurs Entrepreneurs often neglect self-care in pursuit of success. Therapy helps them prioritize balance, manage burnout, and maintain mental clarity. Moniek emphasizes the importance of processing emotions and having a support system. 📘 About the Book: I Can, I Will A 30-day guided journal with weekly themes and daily prompts. Designed to help individuals: Reflect on their emotions Reset their mindset Overcome depression, anxiety, and life transitions Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and MoniekGarside.com 🧩 Common Mental Health Misconceptions Mental health is often oversimplified or trivialized on social media. Terms like “anxiety” and “boundaries” are used without understanding. Real healing requires professional guidance, not just affirmations or apps. 🧍♀️ Moniek’s Personal Journey Originally a nursing major, she transitioned to social work after realizing her passion was emotional care. She created Fit Life Wellness to have autonomy in how she supports clients. She is both a therapist and a therapy client—emphasizing the importance of self-work. 🧠 Mental Health Red Flags Depression: Irritability, isolation, loss of interest, low motivation. Anxiety: Racing thoughts, physical symptoms (e.g., heart palpitations), constant worry. 🧰 Therapy vs. Technology Apps and AI tools can supplement mental health care (e.g., affirmations, breathing exercises). But they cannot replace the human connection and insight of a trained therapist. 🌐 Connect with Moniek Garside Website: MoniekGarside.com Practice: Fit Life Wellness Services: Virtual therapy, clinical supervision, mental health resources #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
