How Are You?…..Do You Really Care?

We live in such a fast-paced society and saying “How are you?” in passing is common courtesy. It is almost second nature to say “I’m OK” or “I’m fine” when you are not feeling well. In fact, we all say it, whether we are battling depression and anxiety or not.

In this week's episode, Kea candidly speaks about how the phase  "How are you" impacts her and challenges how to be mindful when asking someone about their well-being.
