Ep 13 | How Physical Injury Impacts Our Mental Health

In today’s episode we’re joined by Maryam, a member of our Project Taqwa team, to talk about the connection between physical injury and mental health. Drawing on experiences with sports-related injuries and the challenges they bring to one’s sense of identity, we also explore how injury more broadly can affect daily life, emotions, and overall well-being.

Available to listen through the link in our bio.
