Join UPLIFT Teens Megan and Alex as they share their mental health journeys and the tools that have changed their lives.
On our very first episode, join the wise-beyond-their-years teens at UPLIFT, Alex Andrews and Megan Buncher, as they open up and share their mental health journeys. As Alex so eloquently says in the episode, she grew up struggling with mental health and wished that there was something out there that she could be like, “Hey, I’m not the only one going through this, there’s other people going through this. Let’s hear somebody else say, I hear you, I see you, we’re doing this together. So that it’s not just me.” Let’s demystify and destigmatize mental health, explore self-love which is THE staple in anyone’s journey to whole wellness, and talk about all the things from self-care to social anxiety, authenticity, feeling your feelings, how to help a friend who is struggling, social media and more. Megan Buncher is one of our 200 hour certified teen teachers at UPLIFT and can be found on our YouTube channel teaching our essential OWN IT meditation. Scroll down for essential tools and be sure to catch Alex and Megan on Part 2 of the episode!
