We sat down with Coach Shanita Liu to talk about the state of mental health in our community and why burnouts are on the rise!
Coach Shanita Liu, MPA, CPC teaches women how to say bye to burnout.
As a certified transformational life coach, workshop facilitator, speaker, and reiki practitioner, she shows women and girls how to tune in and reconnect to their courage, power, and strength so that they can stop sacrificing themselves and start transforming what’s in their hearts into realities.
Her career path includes community-building events for families, college success programs for first-generation students, and professional salsa dancing.
With our MannMukti podcast series, we aim to connect our listeners with mental health professionals as well as those with lived experiences of mental illness. Our podcasts are often conducted in an interview format, with one or more members of the MannMukti team asking questions of a guest. Each episode features a different guest who can speak to us about a unique topic in South Asian mental health, but the constant theme throughout each podcast is a conversation about stigma.
If you’re interested in learning more about any of the episodes or guests or taking part in a future interview, please feel free to reach out to us at info@mannmukti.org.
We hope you listen, enjoy, share, and… #SpeakUp!
