Isn’t it weird that from a young age we're told to eat our five a day, get enough sleep, stay active… But when it comes to our minds? No one really taught us how to look after those.

This week on Quarter-Life Questions podcast, we’re asking How do you take care of your mental health? I’m chatting with Anita Guru, a Mindset coach and mental health educator, about what emotional resilience actually is, how to spot the early signs of burnout, and why rest isn’t something we should have to earn. This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed, on edge, or just plain exhausted by the pressure of life, work, social media - all of it.

✨ In this episode, we chat about:

• Why so many of us miss the signs that we’re struggling
• What burnout actually looks like and how to avoid it
• Subtle signs a friend might not be okay - even if they say they’re “fine”
• The way social media impacts our mental health
• Building emotional resilience
• Simple ways to look after our mental health
