Panacea has the goal of initiating open conversations and reducing stigma surrounding mental health and mental illness. To do so, Michelle teaches 'mental health 101' and shares some of her own experiences living with mental illness.

The positive impact that mental health literacy can have in your own life, and for the people around you, is what drives her. If her words can inspire empathy and change at least one person's perspective or make someone feel less alone, then she has done her job. Join us for some fun tunes and vulnerable conversations!

August 29, 2024: Assertiveness and the lack thereof

In this episode we talk about the lack of assertiveness and how that can manifest and impact our relationships, self-efficacy, and our understanding of others. 3 ways lack of assertiveness shows up is as: (1) passive aggressiveness (2) people pleasing, and (3) anger. Being assertive is not necessarily a stable personality trait, and your level of assertiveness can change depending on the context/situation/people you're around.
