On the second episode of the “What is a Good Life?” podcast, I am joined by Nora Dietrich. Nora, is a Psychotherapist and she works with; individuals, couples, and more extensively with corporations to break Mental Health taboos, while creating healthier environments for us to work in. This episode is a great example of what I hope this podcast to be; substantive conversations around important topics, that share pertinent information and practical tips, along with personal experiences and perspectives - which help us handle these themes with more humility and humour, regarding the sometimes absurd, and paradoxical, experience of being human.
