I’m Dr Kay Mastrocola. Physical Therapist, Golden Retriever Enthusiast and Mental Health Advocate. I'm also the two brain cells behind the health care and higher education meme page @DPTs_With_Anxiety. I’ve spent the past 10 years navigating life with mental illness and I found a lot of survival guides out there, but none that talk about what happens next. No one is talking about the radical space between surviving and thriving and so I created this podcast as a way to ask questions and embrace the awkward in pursuit of finding what success truly means. Thanks for coming along too- this is The Thrive Guide.
