2025 World Mental Health Day Ep 1: Pause & Reflect – Connecting with Yourself

What does it really mean to “put your own oxygen mask on first”? In this opening episode of the World Mental Health Day series, emotional well-being coach Latisha B. Russell invites us to slow down and reconnect—with ourselves. Through powerful analogies and simple daily practices, Latisha explains why self-connection isn’t selfish, it’s essential. When we pause with purpose, we create space for empathy, balance, and resilience—both in our personal lives and across our community.
