Our mind and body by themselves are strong, but together, they are even stronger. The way we maintain their connection is by first having a healthy mind. We do this by giving our minds a rest when we feel overwhelmed, finding ways to calm our minds and clear our thoughts, processing our emotions so they don’t take over our lives, and reasserting confidence in ourselves. This past month, we spoke about ways to keep our minds strong, such as practicing meditation and saying our daily mantras, as well as knowing when it’s time to take a break and how to master de-stressing. If you connected with these topics, and want to continue learning more about practicing mental wellness, read below for more resources!

I was a communications major at UC Berkeley with an emphasis on media and advertising. I began seeking internships so that I could learn more about this career. During my last two years at Berkeley, I worked in the Sales Department at KTVU, a Fox affiliate in Oakland and it was at that point I knew I wanted to continue in Advertising Sales. After graduation, I moved back to LA to begin my career as an Account Executive for BET.
