Welcome back to The Common Nomad Podcast, Season 3! We are thrilled to have you joining us for another exciting season. Today, we delve into the topic "Friendships and Self-Care while Living Abroad". I'm your host, Edward Fultz, and I'm joined by the amazing Priscilla Brago Brown. And we have a special guest, Brittney Mengistu, a mental health expert and researcher. In this episode, we explore the role of friends and family in self-healing and self-care, and how these relationships can help us become our best selves. We discuss the power of community support, the challenges of addressing mental health in different cultural contexts, and the importance of intentional relationships. Brittney shares fascinating insights from her research and practical tips on supporting friends through mental health struggles. We also touch on the significance of fellowship in both men and women's circles, and the value of deep, open conversations for personal growth.
