The Crew Coach Discusses Mental Health with Damian Chaparro

There's no denying that it's an extremely stressful time for everybody, and situations such as the coronavirus outbreak can hugely affect our mental health. As such, Karine Rayson of The Crew Coach is thrilled to introduce us to a three-part interview with Damian Chaparro, co-founder of the Aroha retreat. Karine recently had the privilege of attending the retreat for the second time and yet again she left feeling like her mind and body went through a complete reset, with productivity levels increased significantly.

From alcohol and drug addiction to managing your wellbeing when living in confined spaces, the importance of managing social media intake and the power of kindness, the two cover a number of issues that are affecting all of us during this time.
