@arlaana_black: WELL-BEING! Interview with a University Well-Being Counselor Karen Richardson Dunn is a well-being counselor at a university, an editor, journalist, environmental activist, meditation coach, hospice chaplain, and minister. She shares her extraordinary grasp of the severe struggles among today’s youth and helps them thrive and create meaningful lives. She grasps the interconnectedness between human thriving and environmental thriving and works tirelessly to help young people establish their authentic self. Their struggles include loneliness, creating friendships, depression, getting cancelled (even the popular ones who must keep up with their social persona), mental health, and isolation. She relays how even the so-called winners in life feel relentless pressure from parents and society, which results in an identity based on expectations, as they struggle to answer the question: “Who Am I?” She also counsels professors, many who struggle to find meaning in their lives. She concludes the interview with a quote: “No mud, No Lotus!”#wellbeingtiktok #loneliness #identitycrisis #whoami? #emotionalwellbeing #authentic #validation #selfdiscovery #happiness #depressedtiktok #cancelcultureistoxic #courage #MentalHealth #lifemeaning #bodydysmophia #traumahealing
