Imagine stumbling upon your life's purpose by a surprising twist of fate. That's exactly what happened to Staci Hayes, our distinguished guest in this episode. Staci, a devoted clinical counselor, serendipitously discovered her passion for counseling and has since been on a remarkable journey to break the stigma around mental health, accessibility, and disabilities. We delve into her unique experiences, from being a first-generation college student to teaching counseling, uncovering how these shaped her compassionate, humanistic approach to mental health.
Can you envision a world where technology is used to foster empathy and wellness? To support the healing and growth of individuals across the globe? Staci has. We venture into the riveting intersection of mental health and technology, exploring the potential of the digital world to transform our mental health landscape. Staci shares her ambitious plans to start a nonprofit in the metaverse, a pioneering initiative that could significantly reshape how we address mental health. She also offers important insights on overcoming perfectionism, harnessing the power of mentorship, and connecting with the right people to achieve your goals.
However, we cannot discuss the digital world without addressing the darker side of technology. Cyberbullying and its detrimental impact on mental health has become alarmingly prevalent. Staci enlightens us on the importance of self-care in this digital era and shares valuable tips on how to use technology without becoming overly reliant on it. We also talk about her involvement with the Meta Voice Foundation, and how you too can make a difference. Join us as we explore how technology can help break down physical and systemic barriers, and provide unique opportunities to reach marginalized communities. We promise you, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
