This week Tay sits down with Angelique, our wellness expert and dives into what will hopefully be the start of many conversations surrounding mental health and wellness. 
 
Mental health supports are often very inaccessible/unaffordable to most. 
Tay hopes to start a series of conversations that offers coping strategies that are affordable/accessible while maintaining the conversation needed to navigate this ever-winding road that is mental health.
