Beyond the impact to physical and economic health, 2020 also took a shocking toll on mental health. While the new year may bring a fresh bout of optimism, with the pandemic lingering on, I fear it is not long before four letter words once again take over our vocabulary. So let me beat the rush and offer a four letter word of my own – HOPE. Dr. Lisa Brown, a clinical health psychologist known by her clients for amazing outcomes and innovative approaches, joins us to talk about tactical ways to build hope, a key element of mental health and well-being. From understanding the psychological framework of hope to pragmatic tips for building your hope muscles, today’s episode is one you don’t want to miss.
