Nikki Is F*ing Tired And Needs A Minute

27: Welcome back welcome backkk to another, well, the last episode of Better Off Said. Yes, you heard it right. Or read it right. We are taking a minute off. For all good reasons might we add. Nikki is a little surprised at the growth of her business right now, and she is really needing to step into that entrepreneurial role, spend time on the inside and figure out how to get this thing under control and as profitable as possible! We will miss chatting in your ears every Wednesday, but sometimes, we have to grow up, be mature and realize that it's okay to say no to things.

Anxiety And Mental Health: Our Experiences Through Work, Social Media, Childhood and Motherhood

25: We all suffer from some sort of stress, anxiety, worry––whatever synonym you can think of for it––through the trials that tribulations that life deals us. There are so many misconceptions about what the definition of mental health actually means.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. Today, Nikki and Becca dive into their experiences dealing with their own mental health, what they feel triggers a negative effect on their mental health, and how they manage it.   Check out Nikki's client's new podcast, Basically Beauty, hosted by Tara Hainsworth.   Products of the Week: Nikki: Use code NIKKI10 for 10% off of palmpalm hand sanitizer Becca: got2b glued styling gel   To ask us a question, suggest a topic or just say hi, DM us @betteroffpod or email betteroffpod@gmail.com.     Feel free to creep on your hosts a little further, too @thenikkibutler & @bbooks.
