Radical Self Care with Sharon Cooper (Part One) It's All Mental
-
- Mental Health
I am sure you have heard of the term “self-care” but what does RADICAL self-care look like? And why do we need it? This week, I had the extreme honor of sitting down with Sharon Cooper, an HR business partner in Silicon Valley and the sister to Sandra Bland who unjustly lost her life after being pulled over by a police officer in Texas.
Sharon shares openly about what it was like for her to lose her sister at a young age and the implications that has had on her own mental health, view of the world, and the way she raises her children.
We also discuss honoring the grieving process and placing appropriate boundaries in our lives that will aid in the healing process. This is a powerful interview for those who not only have unjustly lost loved ones, but also those who have to deal with the fear and anxiety of being judged by the color of their skin.
This is part one of a two-part episode so please be sure to check next week to hear the second half of this powerful conversation. If you have any thoughts or questions about today’s topic please send us an email at media@itsallmentalpodcast.com
