“I know from my own experience that when you put yourself too low down in your priorities, it’s going to have a negative impact. It’s going to affect your mental and physical health. This impacts your overall wellbeing, making you feel out of control, unhappy, anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and like you’re existing rather than living.”

— Nicola Mercer
