Jen Ginty, Helene Zupank and Beth Valdez explore the transformative power of mantras in mental health. They discuss their personal journeys with OCD and ADHD, the importance of awareness and neuroplasticity, and how to effectively create and use mantras to foster positive change. The conversation highlights the significance of humor, self-compassion and the impact of their book, 'Sticky Note Mantras', on clients and readers alike.
