In this episode I share one of my favorite psycho education lessons I would use with my students when I worked as a Therapeutic Mentor. This lesson was used for my gamer students who struggled with turning the game off at the end of the day for bedtime. I share a lot of important facts on how sleep can effect us in negative ways when we don't get enough of it and tips on how to improve the quality of your sleep to aid in the bodies natural healing abilities. Aside from the "school stuff," I answer a common question we receive in the comments of TikTok, an upcoming expansion of D.Pad as well as finally share the biggest news of my personal career! I hope y'all enjoy listening to this one and Thank You for doing so 👊🏻♥️

This episode is the first of our educational style episodes. I recently went through one hell of a scary experience in which I genuinely believed my mental health was approaching it's all time low. However, it turned out to be something completely different that was effecting my physiology which was feeding into my declining mental state. In this episode I share my experience in full detail and share the education I discovered in hopes it will help all of us live a healthier lifestyle as gamers 👊🏻♥️
