Episode 197: Your Mental Health Matters!

Line Cook Thoughts

On this episode, I chat with Jasmin Vitolo Parks-Papadopoulos. Here is her bio in her own words: "I am Jasmin Vitolo Parks-Papadopoulos, former toxic Chef, currently Certified Life Coach. For years I struggled with High Functioning Anxiety, and it wasn’t until I delved deep into my behavioral patterns and life choices, that I could see how my most harmful traits and habits were nestled into the profession I had chosen. A product of the Great Resignation, I came to CHOW in 2020 for support in detaching myself from an industry that I had hidden my discomfort in for so long. I needed to find new ways forward and surround myself with people, like myself, who were struggling to establish their identity and support their mental health. Now as a part of the CHOW team, I am passionate about building an interactive community that extends everyone the accepting and warm welcome I received when joining CHOW. My goal is to increase visibility for our organization and spread the word about our message." In the podcast we talk about how the industry can lead to poor mental health management, why burnout should not be a marker for success, actionable steps to care for your mental health and much more.
