In this episode of the Seasonal Sisters podcast, Janice introduces the Seasonal Sisters Healthy Habits card deck, designed to encourage daily engagement in healthy habits. Guest Darcel Dillard-Suite, co-founder of Full Circle Health and Full Circle Life Enrichment, joins the podcast during Mental Health Awareness Month to discuss the importance of mental health. Darcel shares her personal journey towards prioritizing her health from a young age, influenced by growing up in a household of smokers and drinkers. She emphasizes the role of exercise, diet, and self-care in her path to mental and physical wellness. Darcel and Janice offer practical tips for mental health wellness, including honesty in medical checkups, walking in nature, adjusting diet, community involvement, laughter, patience, and getting more sleep. They also touch on the stigma surrounding mental health discussions, particularly among athletes, and the importance of education and openness in overcoming this challenge. The episode concludes with Darcel providing inspiration for listeners to prioritize sleep for better overall health.
