Hi, welcome to eat your crust podcast.
I'm Crystal.
I'm Jisoo.
I'm Mali.
Our guest today is Wally and she.
Studied pre med and now she works in the healthcare industry.
Hi, I'm Wally and I know Jisoo from middle school and high school.
And I know Crystal through Jisoo.
Alright, so today's topic is going to be a little bit more serious than our previous topics.
We wanted to bring out Wally and have the three of us discuss the topic of mental health.
We know that this is a topic that's not really discussed in the asian american community due to stigma, but we hope that in us sharing our experience, it allows people to connect to our experiences and also maybe feel more comfortable about discussing it with your friends.
I wanted to add a caveat.
I do work in healthcare, but I wanted to emphasize that my background is not in mental health.
I come onto this podcast talking about my personal background with these issues rather than from a professional standpoint.
Wally has some great insight on just mental health experiences.
She's done some things like group therapy, which I hope can encourage other people to maybe look into things like that.
I know just talking to her made me and Jisoo feel a lot more understood, and then it made us start to think about steps in that kind of direction towards like, self help.
And before we jump into this topic, this is a quick warning for those who may not want to listen to this kind of content.
We might talk about uncomfortable things that may get a little bit dark.
So this is just a quick warning for you guys.
