Student-Athlete Mental Health and Suicide with Co-Founder of Z-Cares, Sam Nimmo | EP. 07
Sam Nimmo, Co-founder of Z-Cares foundation, mental health advocate, and student-athlete, is standing up to youth anxiety and depression in honor of her brother Zachary who she lost to suicide. She believes that no one should live with the weight of anxiety and depression, and she is on a mission to help break the stigma around mental health.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The pressure of perfectionism.
- The importance of slowing down and taking breaks when necessary.
- Therapy and how it has helped us to acknowledge our feeling and emotions
