Our guest today is Israa Nasir, a psychotherapist, speaker, and founder of the digital mental health brand Well.Guide on Instagram. Israa was born in Pakistan, and raised between Saudi Arabia and Toronto — but she’s also lived in the Middle East, South Asia, and the United States. This, along with her mixed-cultural identity has given her a unique perspective on the challenges of cross-cultural experiences and life transitions. Her work on mental health has been featured in Business Insider, NBC News, Teen Vogue and more. Plus, her new book ‘Toxic Productivity: Reclaim Your Time and Emotional Energy in a World That Always Demands More’ comes out in November 2024 and is available for pre-order now.  DINK YOURSELF: Donate to the Columbia Gorge Humane Society GoFundMe Read Israa’s article, ​​8 Tips for Talking About Mental Health With Your Asian Family MERCH HAS ARRIVED!
