S1 Episode 9: The Path of Self-Advocacy and Connecting Dental & Mental Health

In Episode 9, Alix and Ariel co-host, conversing with Rachel Mundus (she/her/hers). Rachel talks of her struggles with academics early on in life and how a seed of self-doubt was planted in her mind because of the impact of that challenge. She discusses her traumatic brain injury, her long road to recovery, and how she subsequently chose to transform her academic challenges through that potentially debilitating physical and mental experience. Through her healing journey, Rachel was able to seek out her dream—the path to dental school, where she is today, bringing all forms of wellness to the people.
