Kasey Mahnic: How I shoulder stress & prioritize my self-care

For the past year, we have all been asked to shoulder an immense amount of stress during a very traumatic year. On top of that, we all have our own jobs, relationships and responsibilities that require us to take on further worry, empathy and anxiety. Kasey Mahnic, a social worker with Creative Options Regina loans us some hard lessons she has learned about balancing emotional stress in her professional and personal life with her own self-care and mental health. Kasey chats about her very interesting journey in social work, how she maintains her empathy without sacrificing her own mental health, her experience dating and providing support to a recovering alcoholic, how she utilizes thrifting in her own self-care routine and she gives us some tips and techniques to help us compartmentalize our own stresses and triggers. I'm sure the majority of us have approached some sort of burnout or breakdown during COVID-19 and this episode aims to give you the self-permission you need to turn to yourself a little more without feeling any guilt.
