The Mind/Body Connection with Mike White
Today's episode includes a very special guest - meet Mike! Mike wears several hats - when he's not taking or instructing a Pilates class, you can find him studying or in class (he is a grad student and future therapist), practicing self care or cheering with the Chicago Spirit Brigade! Mike sat down with us to talk all things mental health, such as practicing compassion towards yourself, how to handle depressive episodes and why nurturing both your mind and body is integral to your well-being.
