This episode of Turtling Your Puzzle is dedicated to Mental Health Awareness Month — a reminder that healing is not weakness, and asking for help is strength. We’re talking about emotional exhaustion, anxiety, boundaries, self-care, and the importance of checking in on ourselves and the people we love. Life can feel heavy sometimes, but you do not have to carry it alone.

So many people are silently struggling while still showing up for work, family, relationships, and responsibilities. This episode is for the strong people who are tired… the people smiling on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside.

Today, we’re creating space for honesty, healing, and hope.

In this episode of Turtling Your Puzzle, Wanda talks with Dr. Tiffany Anderson Robinson, licensed professional counselor, about why so many of us feel guilty when we slow down — and how to break free from that mindset. Together they unpack where guilt around rest comes from, why constant busyness leads to burnout, and how to build healthy rhythms of renewal without apologizing for it.

If you’ve ever felt selfish for taking a break, this conversation will give you practical tools, permission to breathe, and encouragement to see rest as strength — not weakness.

Host Wanda Lacy sits down with Dr. Chancey Fort for a deeply honest conversation about how life’s everyday pressures can quietly chip away at our mental health. From job stress and personal expectations to relationship strains, this episode explores how self-awareness and small, consistent habits—like rest, mindfulness, and vulnerability—can help us stay grounded and resilient. It’s not about doing everything right—it’s about learning to carry the weight without letting it break us.
