Your mental health is just as important as your physical health.
What happens when life throws you an unimaginable curveball? Kristi Hugstad knows all too well. In this episode of the Bear Psychology Podcast, Dr. Anna Baranowsky chats with Kristi about her book, 'Be You, Only Better', which offers practical advice for tackling life's toughest challenges. Eight years ago, Kristi lost her husband to suicide, a tragedy that turned her world upside down.
She opens up about the immense grief, guilt, and social rejection she faced, and how she managed to rebuild her life piece by piece. Her husband was a beloved gym owner, and they had plans to retire early—until depression took a devastating toll. Kristi's book isn't just for the young; it's a guide for anyone needing practical tools to navigate life's hurdles. The conversation touches on essential self-care practices like journaling, mindfulness, good sleep habits, exercise, and nutrition.
These aren't just buzzwords; they're lifelines that helped Kristi find her way back to herself. Dr. Baranowsky and Kristi also discuss the critical need to reduce mental health stigma and support suicide prevention. If you're looking for real-world strategies to improve your mental health and overall well-being, this episode is a must-listen. It's a heartfelt discussion filled with hope, resilience, and actionable advice.
