Reset, Rise, and De-Stress: Holistic Mental Health

In this episode of The Hidden Why, I sit down with Miriam Putnam, Certified Wellness Coach, Freedom from Stress Counsellor, and holistic mental health advocate.

Miriam shares her deeply personal journey into wellness advocacy after witnessing firsthand the shortcomings of the traditional mental health system through her mother’s struggles with misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment. That experience sparked a lifelong quest to understand the true roots of health, healing, and human flourishing.

Together, we explore why stress sits at the centre of so many emotional and physical challenges, how lifestyle factors often go overlooked in conventional healthcare, and what practical steps we can take to reclaim our wellbeing.

This conversation is an invitation to look beyond symptom management and toward a more holistic approach to body, mind, and soul.
